Behringer Powerplay P16-I 16-Channel Input Module | Digital Personal Monitoring Hub
The Behringer Powerplay P16-I is the core hub of the revolutionary Powerplay P16 Personal Monitoring System, designed to convert traditional analog or ADAT digital signals into 24-bit digital audio. For recording studios and live performances, it offers a simple and efficient way for every musician to get a custom monitor mix via the ULTRANET network, completely solving stage volume issues or unclear monitoring.
The P16-I features 16 TRS analog inputs and 2 sets of 8-channel ADAT optical inputs, easily connecting to various mixing consoles and recording interfaces. Using Behringer's exclusive ULTRANET technology, a single standard CAT5 ethernet cable transmits 16 channels of digital audio and power to P16-M personal mixers. Its built-in 6 ULTRANET output ports can directly drive up to 6 personal monitors, making it the perfect starting point for building a zero-latency, highly expandable monitoring system.
Core Advantages & Applications
Flexible Dual-Mode Input Interface
Whether you use Direct Outs/Inserts from an analog console or ADAT outputs from digital equipment, the P16-I handles it perfectly. It provides 16 1/4" TRS analog inputs and 2 optical inputs (ADAT), allowing you to freely choose signal sources and seamlessly integrate existing gear into a digital monitoring system.
ULTRANET Digital Transmission Hub
As the heart of the system, the P16-I converts all input signals into 24-bit/48kHz high-resolution digital signals and outputs them via 6 RJ45 network ports on the rear panel. This means you can power and transmit signals directly to 6 P16-M personal mixers without extra power supplies, significantly simplifying stage cabling.
Professional Signal Processing & Control
To accommodate various signal levels, the P16-I is equipped with a **4-position gain switch** (+22 dB, +4 dB, 0 dB, -10 dB) for each pair of analog input channels, ensuring optimal dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio whether for high-output line signals or low-level signals.
