POWERPLAY
P16-I
16-Channel 19'' Input Module
with Analog and ADAT*
Optical Inputs
Overview
The
Behringer Powerplay 16 P16-I Input Module features 16 analog and ADAT optical
inputs, and 6 Ultranet Network outputs via Cat5 connections. The P16-I Input
Module is designed to tie-in the direct outputs of an analog console with up to
6 Behringer P-16M personal monitors (sold separately) in both recording and
live sound reinforcement.
The complete system allows singers, musicians, speakers and other talent the
ability to set monitoring levels and customize their own personal monitor
mixes, leaving the engineer free to record or create a front-of-house (FOH) PA
mix in sound reinforcement applications.
There are 4-position gain switches per channel with -10, 0, +4 and +22dB
settings. The P16-I Input Module is mountable in a 19-inch rack enclosure, and
a complete Powerplay 16 monitoring system is an ideal monitoring solution for
houses-of-worship, small live performance venues, conference halls, auditoriums
and more.
- The POWERPLAY P16 system is the easy and affordable way
to give live or recording musicians/vocalists what they really want – “more
me!” Part of the P16 Personal Monitoring System, the P16-I input module can be
used with any analog source, and convert up to 16 analog inputs into 24-bit
digital audio to send to your P16-M Personal Monitoring Mixers. The P16-I is
also equipped with ADAT optical inputs that auto-detect and give priority to
incoming signals. 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. The POWERPLAY P16 Personal Monitoring System puts total control
of the monitor mix into the artist’s hands, and when they can hear exactly what
they want and need to hear – their best performance is unleashed!
ADAT-Ready
- The P16-I includes a 2 x 8-channel ADAT optical input with auto detect and
priority select for use with our existing ADAT equipment. Additionally, 16
balanced, high-headroom TRS audio inputs can be employed to send audio from
analog outputs to your P16-Ms. You can choose from 4 gain positions per channel
via a convenient onboard switch, and visually monitor by means of the status
LEDs on each channel. Sample rates of 44.1 or 48 kHz are supported by the
digital inputs, providing ultra-low latency of less than 1 millisecond.
Standard Cat 5e cabling delivers power and signals for up to 6 P16-M Personal
Monitoring Mixers, or you can use the included external supplies with each
P16-M. Plus, the P16-I features an internal auto-ranging power supply for
maximum flexibility (100 – 240 V~), noise-free audio, superior transient
response and low power consumption.
ULTRANET – Seamless Integration
- The world-renowned engineers at KLARK TEKNIK, MIDAS, TURBOSOUND and
BEHRINGER have all come together to create something truly innovative that will
change live and studio workflow forever – ULTRANET. This revolutionary
technology seamlessly transmits up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit digital
audio and control data via a single CAT5 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.
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
forty-eight P16-M Personal Mixers
Extraordinary Value
- The POWERPLAY P16 Personal Monitoring System 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. By putting dynamic
control over virtually all elements (Volume, Pan, Solo & Mute) of up to 16
input signals within each performer’s reach, the P16 Personal Monitoring System
provides the easy and affordable way to give them exactly what they want –
“more me!” Check the P16-I out today – and experience the ultimate in live and
studio personal monitoring.
