BEHRINGER POWERPLAY P16-M

Take charge of what goes into your ears if you're like me and want to save your ears before it's too late. I made the decision to enter the room- I'd listen to it if I didn't have to rely on the sound man for my feed. To the rescue, a personal mixer! Because my band uses a Behringer X18 board, the P16M seemed like an obvious choice. Setup is simple: Connect one cable to the X18's "Ultranet" port, then configure the X18 to send pre- or post-processed channels to the P16M. The raw pre-cooked version is my favorite. I now have complete control and, for the first time, can hear myself and everyone else clearly without going deaf or fighting the sound man, thanks to a processed signal that allows me to set my own mix volume and EQ independent of the main board. Paired with a Shure wireless IEM, I now have complete control and, for the first time, can hear myself and everyone else clearly without going deaf or fighting the sound man. I'm still fiddling with it, but I can't imagine going back to a floor monitor and eardrum-damaging headphones. dividing the size of the stages.

I've only used it once, but I'm completely smitten. I usually sing and play acoustic with a Carvin iem system, but I was on the drums this weekend trying out the P16M for the first time, and holy moly, this thing is feature rich and awesome if you're an audio engineer type. br>br>Right away, I was blown away by the ability to tweak everything on each input channel, from the limiter to channel gain to overall volume and a basic three-band EQ. br>br>And then there's the ability to move mono inputs around a stereo sound stage in your head? Is there a word for it? br>br>The only issue I had was saving settings, but I'm confident I'll read the manual and figure it out. This tiny mixer is everything you've ever wanted in a mixer.

It's a fantastic setup that's simple to set up and program. And at a reasonable price, too, but this is where the issue arises. These units have a high price tag, so one would expect a good noise-to-volume ratio for the money. They are, however, far from silent. The noise is very noticeable even when there is no audio coming through, just by plugging in a pair of headphones. Something along the lines of a low-cost headphone amplifier. I'm comparing this setup to our Solemix Jamhub setup, which the Powerplay is gradually replacing in our band; the Jamhub setup is incredibly quiet and sounds fantastic, but it's not a professional system and is difficult to rack mount, among other things. The Powerplay setup is loud, dirty, and cheap sounding. I'm not pleased at all.

This is a fantastic deal. Aviom is more expensive, but it does the same job. Directly compatible with the Behringer X32, which I'm sure you also have. ) I strongly advise you to do so. The quality of the audio is excellent. Minor irritability: br>br> There is a "master" volume knob (top right) as well as a "main" channel (button in middle on far left) that affects global volume when selected. Why do we need two volume knobs that are in competition with each other? I think it's silly, but I'm sure I'm missing something. I can't tell you how many times band members have told me that their volume isn't working! "Only to discover that the "main" channel was either too quiet or completely muted.

Arrived in excellent condition and on time. Although it is possible to connect directly to the back of the X32, I had to use the supplied power supply. I bought the distribution box (P16-1) because I had six of them. D) and it was a total success. All of the knobs are in good working order and are securely fastened. Only use wedges if you have the time to teach them how to use them as well as how to avoid feedback. If you use it on wedges without providing proper training to the band members, you will have a feedback disaster. It'll be even worse if you have several bands performing at the same time. That was something I had to learn the hard way. When connecting to X32, the sound board will have the option of controlling a wedge on feedback by default. However, when it came to assigning each of my P16-level students, I was able to control the Volumn from the X32 by connecting Ms to a bus. If you use in-ear monitors, you won't have to worry about feedback. br>br>It's highly suggested.

These have been a great addition to our new XR18 mixer for our band. It's fantastic to be able to mix the monitors however we want, and they're extremely versatile when used with a wedge or ear/headphones. They have a lot of features, but I wish they were about $100 less. These, on the other hand, are one of those items that are priced the same everywhere. We went ahead and purchased the hub unit and ethernet cable extensions to avoid having to run power cords for each device, and it was well worth the money.

This thing works flawlessly, exactly as I had hoped when I bought the XR- 18 Ultranet signal is provided by an air device. Why spend money on a monitor that you have to set on the floor when you can just pick this up for the price of a speaker and use headphones instead?br>Pros: br>Super affordable when compared to an Aviom unit that costs twice as muchbr>Reduce the footprint of your PAbr>Less to pack and haulbr>Gives you total control of your sound for all 16 channels independentlybr>If you purchase the P16-A, you will receive the P16-A. It is a D router hub that provides power to the unit, eliminating the need for a power adaptor cord during setup. If you want to switch your band to in-ear monitors, this is the most cost-effective way to do so without sacrificing quality.

The behringer P16 is a significant improvement over our previous headphone amplifier. There are 16 channels, each of which can be controlled independently.
