Behringer POWERPLAY P16-M 16 Channel Digital Personal Mixer

love it

Something my husband needed. He said it works just fine and dandy. it powers on and off as it should with low noise.

I did rate 4 stars on value for money because these units are at a premium price point. The complete system is not for the budget minded. I only needed to purchase this part of it as the rest of the system was already owned by a band member. This unit is three hundred, more than I wanted to spend but it was the least I could do being that our band mate had the other three grand already. That being said, we are able to rehearse with headphones, every musician has their own personal mix and the sound is crystal clear. Live we can perform the same personal mix or configure a different mix for our live needs and store these settings into memory. Everyone has their own individual mix via in ear or personal powered monitor iliminating typical monitor feed back problems and allowing much lower stage volumes. I should say you get what you pay for with this system I just don't know how many local working musicians are ready for the investment.

If you're like me and need to save your ears before it's too late then take control of what goes into them. I decided to go in-ear but only if I didn't have to depend on the sound man for my feed. Personal mixer to the rescue! My band uses a Behringer X18 board so the P16M seemed like the obvious choice. Hookup is as easy as it gets: 1 cable into the X18 "Ultranet" port, then set the X18 to send pre or post processed channels out to the P16M. I prefer the raw pre-processed signal so I can 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 hear myself and everyone else clearly and without going deaf or fighting the sound man. Still tweaking but I can't imagine ever going back to a floor monitor and eardrum-splitting stage volumes.

I have used these before in a couple of bands. Now that I am doing sound for one, I want everyone to have one to use and make my life easier. They are great due to the fact you can take any signal and control it in your own monitor mix. Either via powered floor monitor or in-ears.

This is simply a must-have in any application. The versatility and ease of use right out of the box cannot be overstated. For the price you are getting an amazing unit.

This device has changed the game in my opinion. It’s cheaper than the AVIOM and it functions just the same. I do suggest getting the s16 distributions box so it can run Poe (power over Ethernet) the Ethernet cable that comes with it isn’t long enough for most applications but making you own cable is easy enough.

Just received three P16-M and a P16-I. It was extremely simple to get everything connected. There is very little learning curve to figure out how to use the P16-M; press a button, turn a knob easy. The headphone amp part is a little bit noisy with hiss. The built in EQ is lacking sonically. These are reasons why I dropped a star. I like this monitoring system! Super simple and inexpensive!

Der Monitormixer wird über Ultranet (Ethernetkabel) mit dem Mischpult verbunden. Es stehen 16 Kanäle zur Verfügung, die individuell konfiguriert und gemischt werden können. Jeder Kanal hat einen Equalizer. Mehrere P16-M können hintereinander geschaltet (Daisy-chain) oder mit dem entsprechenden Hub sternförmig verkabelt werden. Letztere Variante hat den Vorteil, das Gerät mit Strom über das Ethernetkabel zu versorgen (PoE). So kann ich mir meinen individuellen Monitorsound zusammenstellen ohne vom FOH abhängig zu sein. Wenn man die Logik einmal verstanden hat (guckst du YouTube tutorials) dann ist es wirklich ein "Gamechanger". Absolute Empfehlung für Musiker, die ein entsprechendes Digitalmischpult von Behringer einsetzen und ein guten Monitorsound haben wollen. Einzig von der Halterung zur Montage an einen Mikroständer würde ich abraten. Die ist unzuverlässig (rutscht hin und her) und unhandlich (Schraube von Hand zu lösen ist wirklich ein Kunststück) - es gibt eine Reihe anderer Lösungen (Google ist dein Freund) ...

Petit boitier discret mais efficace Vous permet de creer un mixe pour chaque musicien qui fait lui même sa balance Fonctionne parfaitement pour ce que l'on attend de lui Je vois cependant 2 petits inconvenients 1- il faut un boitier par retour musicien (ça fait cher, plus de 1000 €, pour une formation de 5 musiciens par exemple) 2- alimentation independante qui aurai put être intégrée dans le cable Cat5 (ça fait beaucoup de cables qui trainent..)

Very easy to use and implement. Ideal for setting up headphone mixes or in ear monitor mixes. Can also be used to tailor monitor wedge mixes! Having a limiter and individual pan, volume for each track is useful, and being able to group channels is clever! Very simple, quick and effective - if you don't have a monitor person, this will take the load off your sound man!

Çok memnun kaldım bir tane daha aldım

Espectacular, funciona a la perfección, es plug and play, nada de configuraciones complejas, lo ame y parte de la banda que lo probó quedaron encantados, no es muy asequible por su precio pero creo que hay uno nuevo que en teoría funciona igual!
