BEHRINGER P24 STAGECONNECT PERSONAL MONITOR MIXER

Having a dedicated monitor mix engineer can be expensive and running monitor mixing from FOH can be too demanding-- neither of these is ideal. What if every musician could create their personal monitor mix with a small dedicated mixer on-stage? That's what Personal Monitoring is all about! Save time and energy by giving the control to the musicians! Personal monitors also allow for built-in effects, improving sound; built-in microphones, improving both communication and immersion; All controlled with a simplified user interface.

Configuring personal monitoring systems has been clunky and time-consuming in the past, but no longer. All channels on P24 are transferred with their labelling from the console through AES50 or StageConnect; giving you the time to dial in your mix. Control each of the 12 stereo groups and mic input, using the 13 hardware faders on each personal mixer. P24 actively communicates with the console and to the other personal mixers daisy-chained together. Even when using Ultranet, which can't transfer labelling data, P24's can all copy the configuration created on the first unit in the chain, simplifying setup. Less talking and more doing.

No matter if you're using a single P24 to provide an artist's mix in your studio recording room, or you're deploying a large setup for an orchestra pit with several daisy-chained P24HUBs-- setup and configuration is always a breeze. The P24HUB is the obvious choice for larger setups especially in touring applications. However, several P24 personal mixers can be daisy-chained without a hub. This is ideal when supporting smaller impromptu gigs. Communication between engineers and on-stage talent is vital for a smooth performance. With P24's StageTalk intercom system, individual channels for FOH, stage technicians and musicians can all communicate cohesively. In a recording studio, P24's integrated mics can be used to communicate with the engineer outside the booth. In a live environment, an auxiliary mic and foot switch can be used to 'play the chorus again'. Regardless of the use-case, P24 has a solution for you.

For the most robust performance and longest cable runs, using high-quality DMX cabling is recommended. For short connections, standard XLR cables can be used. As there is no capacitance standard for microphone cables, range performance can vary substantially. Investing in high-quality DMX cables helps P24 perform best. P24 is designed from the ground-up to be intuitive-- with its hardware faders there's zero menu diving. Customize 'til your heart's content with P24's Panorama, Tilt-EQ and Limiter controls, creating the exact mix you need. For maximum ease-of-use, the P24 receives labelling and channel mode information directly from the console. Each channel is STEREO by default, but can also be set to MONO or DUAL MONO.

P24’s internal microphones can be used for talkback, especially in a recording studio setting. The TALK button sends the signal from the onboard mics to all P24’s in the chain or to the P24HUB (sold separately). P24’s integrated XLR input allows for talkback communication to your bandmates or engineers using any dynamic mic. It can be controlled by footswitch even during your performance The onboard mics can also be fed into your mix to capture the ambient sound of “the room” for a more natural sounding monitor mix. P24HUB allows for up to 4 P24's connected directly. Each P24 mixer can also have a second P24 daisy-chained for a total of 8 personal mixers per P24HUB. Using the P24HUB can also output each of the personal mixes on each of the 16 analogue TRS out. Daisy-chaining P24 mixers without a P24HUB is also possible, however every other mixer will need their own DC power supply.
