BehringerPowerplay P16-M 16-Channel Digital Personal Mixer

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.

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.

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.

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 just used this for the first time and I AM IN LOVE. I usually sing and play acoustic with a carvin iem system but this weekend I was on the drums trying this P16M out for the first time. Holy moly, this thing is feature rich and awesome if you're an audio engineer type.So right off the bat, I can't say enough good things about the ability to modify everything on each input channel from the limiter to channel gain to overall volume and basic three band EQ, I was impressed.And then the ability to take the mono inputs and move them across a stereo sound stage in your ears?!? Can you say heaven?!The only issue I had was saving settings but I'm sure I'll break out the manual and learn how to do it correctly. This little mixer is a dream come true!!

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.

I’ve been using this as a monitor and it’s super handy. It’s not quite everything I expected but I’m still happy with it.
