The BEHRINGER POWERPLAY P16 system
is the easy, a ordable way to give your
musicians and vocalists what they really
want—“more me!” P16-M Personal Mixers
lets each performer take control of what
they hear, allowing the engineer to
concentrate on providing the audience
with the best possible listening experience.
Fast and easy to set up, a basic system can
be installed and con gured in a matter of
minutes—and the system can be expanded
to adapt to changing needs.

The P16-M’s simple user interface makes
it easy for even non-techies to dial-in
the perfect monitor mix. For example,
let’s say the electric guitar is too loud in
the lead vocalist’s mix; they simply press
the appropriate channel button (the one
labeled E. GTR) and turn the Volume
control to lower the guitar level in their mix.
They can also adjust Pan (left to right mix),
EQ (Bass, Mid with sweepable Freq control
and Treble), and much more. All of these
adjustments can be made without a ecting
anyone else’s personal mix.

A basic installation consists of one P16-I
audio interface, which connects to the
main mixing console, and up to six P16-M
Personal Mixers, creating a system big
enough to equip a typical recording studio,
a small to medium-sized band, or a worship
team. You’ll also need a few standard audio
and CAT5 cables. The optional P16- MB
mounting bracket allows the P16-M Digital
Personal Mixer to be attached to any
standard microphone, music or drum stand.
The system can easily be expanded via the
P16-D Digital ULTRANET Distributor, six of
which can be combined to drive up to
forty- eight P16-M Personal Mixers.

The POWERPLAY P16 puts total control of
the monitor system where it belongs—in
the hands of the performers, freeing up
the engineer to sculpt the perfect front-of-
house mix. The POWERPLAY P16 system is
the easy, a ordable way to tame runaway
stage volume and give your musicians and
vocalists what they really want—“more me!”
