The Behringer POWERPLAY P16-HQ 16-channel personal monitoring mixer gives you full control over your sound, letting you craft personalized monitor mixes that are crystal clear. Whether you’re performing live or in the studio, this mixer allows you to easily manage 16 channels of audio, ensuring every musician hears what they need to perform at their best. With its 114dB D/A converter, the P16-HQ provides pristine, noise-free output—even at high volumes—so you can crank it up without losing any clarity. Whether you're using headphones or in-ear monitors, the P16-HQ delivers sound with precision.

Built for Ease of Use and Total Customization

What sets the POWERPLAY P16-HQ apart is how easy it makes setting up and adjusting your monitor mix. Its intuitive control surface offers quick access to all 16 channels, each with its own level and panorama controls, allowing you to tailor your mix exactly how you like it. Plus, with features like solo and mute per channel and a 3-band EQ with adjustable mid-band frequency, you have all the tools you need to make precise adjustments on the fly. You can even store custom mixes with total recall, making it simple to switch between setups during a performance.

Designed to Enhance Performance Without Distractions

Whether you're adjusting for yourself or a full band, the POWERPLAY P16-HQ’s thoughtful design makes mixing seamless. LED indicators show you key information at a glance, while the output limiter offers protection against unexpected spikes in volume—so you can mix with confidence without worrying about damaging your ears. For larger setups, the P16-HQ is built to work effortlessly in more complex systems, daisy-chaining with other units or connecting to P16-D hubs, giving you the flexibility to scale your setup as needed.

Versatile and Reliable for Any Setup

The POWERPLAY P16-HQ’s versatility extends beyond just headphones or in-ears. With a mono/stereo line output, you can send your personalized mix to powered monitor speakers for even greater control. And thanks to its ultra-low latency of less than 1 millisecond, your sound stays perfectly in sync, whether you're practicing or performing live. Power options include phantom power via Ultranet or an external power supply, giving you flexibility in any situation. Simply mount it on a mic stand using the P16-MB (sold separately), and you’re ready to go.
