I play acoustic gigs where I sit on a bar stool, so I don't mind this amp being quite big

Perfect for in-ear using drummers

I have this mounted on my floor tom for every gig using a drum mic clip. It's quite bulky so it's not comfortable to wear but the built in clip can clip into many things, I have band mates who have clipped it to a mic stand. it has a threaded hole for mounting on its own stand. the 2 channels are great if you want 2 mixes or different things in different ears. I like to have my own click so I have a separate channel for that which I can control from the drumkit.

It has a stereo/mono switch so you can switch between a full mix in both ears or separate mixes. with a L/R knob to control the balance.

One thing to note if you only have 1 mix make sure to turn the L/R knob all the way to the channel you have as an input.

doesn't come with a 9V power supply, I used my own but a 9V battery will last over 3 hours (thats as long as I've played a gig with battery power so I don't know the limit)

I have used this for over 2 years now and it's been flawless every gig.

Well Built and Versatile

I purchased a few of these to use in a silent rehearsal setup, knowing that they'd need to be rugged and easy to use. In use they've worked flawlessly, and have proven to be more than up to the task, with metal construction, locking XLR inputs, nicely damped controls and a great level of output. It doesn't matter if we feed them mono or stereo signals as the switching is easy and effective. I'd recommend these without hesitation.

Great!

It's cheap, it works and it has everything you need it to have. If you don't want to break the bank with a wireless set these will work for you

Lovely piece of gear.

Simple, functional, used a lot in many different situations (functions, pubs, theatres) and never let me down.

Best price!

I saw this from my bassist. It works like a 1 channel mixer but also it is an amp for your headphones. I used it twice now and it is amazing. With my ATH70 in-ears results were very satisfactory. for this price you can't find something better. I only didn't like that it doesnt have a power source but works fine with a 9v battery.

For the price... This simply cannot be beat!

Purchased this unit to use with my in ear monitors.

As a drummer I have no need to roam around the stage so a hard wired option made perfect sense. The P1 is attached to my hi hat stand so it's within easy reach, I made a 6m loom of 2 mic cables and a 9vdc power feed so no batteries are required.

The P1 can operate in either mono or stereo - Stereo in ear monitoring is an absolute joy, this achieves superb separation between guitars and panning for overheads and toms.

Build quality is OK, the volume knobs are good quality.

Sound quality is also very good, no noise even at high volume.

All in all I cannot fault the P1 at all

This product is a great compromise between the price and functionality

Everyone in our band bought the same unit for in-ear monitoring during rehearsals and live gigs. Since it's our first time doing this - we did not want to spend a lot of money on gear right away. For this kind of reason this product is perfect.

Of course the sound quality and the size of the unit leaves room to be desired. Nonetheless, overall build quality and the functionality you can get from the box is all you really need. Definitely recommend if you're still trying stuff out for rehearsing with in-ear monitors.

Great

So good, so cheap. This stays in my bag. I'm a lighting engineer, so occasionally use this for a better foh mix, but also nice to have incase a band need an extra set

Gemakkelijk in gebruik

Heb dit product aangeschaft om met de band via in-ear te repeteren en te giggen.

Het is een robuust product. Met de nodige bediening van volume en balans.

Het is zeker aangeraden om een power supply te gebruiken tijdens repetities, anders zullen er veel batterijen moeten aangekocht worden.

Om live te spelen is de batterij toevoer zeker meer dan genoeg.

Is in combinatie met shure in-ear koptelefoons zeker een aanrader.
