Powerplay P2 : Very compact personal in-ear monitor system with some Wireless IEM hack

2 years ago

This is a very compact personal in-ear monitor system and these are great IEM systems for anyone who does not need a wireless system. BUT if you need Wireless IEM setup that don't cost hundreds or thousands euros, here is one TIP: DIY Wireless IEM "hack" setup to save extra money and portability on stage - three components that you need: Behringer Powerplay P2, some kind of wireless guitar system (aka Harley Benton AirBorne 5.8GHz Instrument or some similar cheap wireless transmitter options) and earbuds. Now you have your personal wireless IEM :) So, this is a trick to save some money and I can confirm that the wireless receiver and the P2 behave very well together. You can also connect a guitar to it and play with headphones, with these wirelessly hacked or with cable just for practice without disturbing anybody. Of course, if you want the guitar to be wireless as well, you'll need another set of wireless. One tip for mixers: if you use XLR to send a balanced mono signal from the mixer's aux, then set the switch to mono and the sound goes to both ears. If you are using XLR to send a stereo signal from the output to the headphones, then put the switch in the stereo position and it works as a stereo. cons: the batteries sometimes come loose when you drop it or shake it heavily, I actually tape the batteries to the socket to fix it, no big problem pros: batteries last a LONG time.. it says 10 hours.. mine lasts at least 20!... it's cheap (half the price of the Fisher Amp Stick (which it copies). It sounds GOOD man. Really good. I also use it for monitoring in the studio.
