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.

Tech-Free Zone

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.

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.
