Behringer Powerplay P16-M 16-Channel Digital Personal Mixer

Stop wasting time creating individual monitor mixes and let your vocalists and musicians do it themselves with the Powerplay P16-M from Behringer. Well suited for use in the studio and on stage, the P16-M is a 16-channel digital stereo mixer with an intuitive interface that is quick and easy to use, putting volume, pan, mute, solo, and EQ controls within easy reach.

Tech-Free Zone

• The P16-M’s simple user interface makes it easy for even non-techies to dial in the perfect monitor mix.
• They can not only adjust the volume for each of 16 input signals, but also set the pan (left to right mix), eq (Bass, Mid with sweepable Freq control, and Treble), and much more. And the best part, these adjustments can all be made without affecting anyone else’s personal mix.
• After you’ve dialed-in the perfect mix, it can be stored in one of 16 presets for instant recall at your next performance or session.

Features Galore

• Not only is the P16-M easy to use, but it’s also big on quality. You’ll enjoy audiophile-grade sonic performance, 16 storable presets for custom mixes, 16 Channel-Select buttons complete with dual LED indicators for quick and easy visual reference, and much more.
• Need to hear just one element of your mix—just hit the Solo button. Someone playing out of time—select the Mute button for that input.
• Additionally, the global EQ and “drummer-proof” output level control ensure you’ll hear your perfect mix, in all its pristine glory.

Easy Installation

• A basic installation consists of one P16-I Input Module, 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, small to medium-sized band, or worship team.
• You’ll also need a few standard audio and Cat 5e 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.
• As many as six P16-D Digital ULTRANET Distributors can be added to your system to accommodate up to 48 P16-M Personal Mixers.

ULTRANET for Seamless Integration

• The engineers at Klark Teknik, Midas, Turbosound, and Behringer have all come together to create something truly innovative to dramatically improve live and studio workflows: ULTRANET. This revolutionary technology seamlessly transmits up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit digital audio and control data via a single Cat 5 cable between compatible digital devices—including mixers, I/O stage boxes, powered loudspeakers, and personal monitoring systems.
• Advantages realized through ULTRANET digital networking, versus traditional analog methods: audio signals are impervious to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI); signal crosstalk is eliminated; and ease of setup translates directly into significant time saved during installation.
• ULTRANET effectuates a powerful digital eco-system that gives you unparalleled control over every element of your audio production environment from one convenient location.
