Powerplay P16-M Personal Mixer : Makes studio monitoring very easy!

We have several of these units in our studio and even take them out on the road to festivals, where they find themselves parked next to the drum fill for instance.

We have even used one as a surrogate on stage monitor station together with an iPad to get a listen wedge for the monitor engineer on a small outdoor gig!

The sound quality is better than you may expect, and is even capable of driving headphones at 400 Ohms impedance, although for drummers we tend to use 32 Ohm cans just to get the headroom and level. The unit is well built and has a feel of being tough enough for life on the road. I have accidentally dropped one once onto a carpeted floor and it survived!

It takes literally 30 seconds to explain to any musician how to use and the stress and time this saves the engineer, especially on a tight studio session has produced a considerably better work flow. Musicians too are appreciative.

Can't speak ill of these.
