Powerplay P2 : A great solution for wired IEMs

7 years ago

I was sceptical at the beginning since it's BEHRINGER (but I know their old P1 and it wasn't that bad) and because I want to run stereo IEMs. Well, LOOK NO FURTHER!!

The chassis is solid, opens easily and takes 2 AAA batteries. Volume is high, nice headroom (but there's some noise floor if you're really picky, I'm not and that is absolutely not a problem for me) and you can run a stereo signal in it!!!

Plug it straight into the output of an AUX on your desk and set it to Mono if you want to just take a mono source, or you can use Y cables that run into an unbalanced stereo cable to have a stereo mix. I have two female XLRs that converge into a single male XLR to then run long XLR runs with the stereo signal to the headphone amp and it works like a charm. Easy to use, switches off when you turn the volume to 0, and it's much more similar to having a beltpack of a wireless system, which is my use. I use this for rehearsals since it's not cheap to rent wireless for a few days on rehearsals. Can't recommend it more. The only cons? MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS GOT BATTERIES (but again that's not different from running any other beltpack).
