The POWERPLAY 16 P16-I Input Module is the primary
interface between your mixer and the complete
POWERPLAY 16 P16 personal monitor system. The P16-I
ts into a single rack space and can convert as many as 16
independent analog signals into 24-bit digital audio that
can be distributed over a BEHRINGER ULTRANET network
using CAT5e cable. The proprietary ULTRANET system then
allows these 16 digital audio channels to be custom-mixed
by multiple individual users equipped with POWERPLAY 16
P16-M personal monitor mixers.

The P16-I provides line-level analog connectivity through
16 balanced ¼" TRS inputs. Each ¼" TRS input channel
has individual signal (SIG) and clip (CLIP) LEDs, as well as
dedicated sensitivity switches with +22 dBu, +4 dBu, 0 dBu,
and -10 dBV gain settings.

For digital input connectivity, the P16-I provides two ADAT
IN inputs (A and B), each with 8-channel capacity, for a
total of 16 channels when both ADAT inputs are in use.
EachADAT IN channel uses optical digital cable and can
accept 16-, 20-, or 24-bit audio, at 48 kHz sampling rate
(standard) or 44.1 kHz sampling rate (if using ADAT with

44.1kHz). Regardless of the sampling rate or bit depth,
theP16-I automatically syncs to the external device's
digitalclock.

The P16-I oers 6 ULTRANET outputs to distribute low­latency digital audio (<0.9 ms) across the POWERPLAY 16
P16 monitor system using CAT5e cable. Each CAT5e cable
carries 16 independently-mixable channels of audio, as
well as a power signal to remotely power a P16-M mixer.

The POWERPLAY 16 P16-I seamlessly integrates over
ULTRANET with the P16-M and P16-D, as well as the
powerful X32 digital mixer, to form a complete personal
monitoring solution for live, studio, or installed sound
applications.
