The BEHRINGER POWERPLAY P16 system is the easy, affordable 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 configured 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 affecting anyone else’s personal mix.
