Behringer has announced its P16-HQ personal monitoring mixer, building on the success of the P16-M, and including new high-quality D-A converters, output amp, refreshed design and more.
The P16-HQ is a great and affordable way to give performers control over their own monitor mix; leaving room for engineers to create the best overall mix possible.
The P16-HQ includes a new digital-to-analog converter with a dynamic range of 114dB, coupled with a new high-quality amplifier stage providing improved performance and volume, especially with low-impedance headphones and in-ears.
The P16-HQ sports a new look while maintaining the intuitive control surface that made P16-M so popular! All surface controls such as the 16 channel buttons, level, pan/balance controls have their own backlighting and LED indicators. All knobs and buttons are easily visible thanks to the backlighting and LED indicators added across the control surface. This allows the user to adjust on-the-fly, even on a dimly lit stage.
Controls on the P16-HQ include:
- Level and Panorama/Balance
- 3-band EQ per channel
- Adjustable mid-band frequency on main channel
- Solo and Mute functions per channel
Setting up a stage and making sure everything is getting the right amount of power can be tricky but having the P16-HQ makes this process a breeze as it comes equipped with Ultranet technology. With Ultranet, you can send up to 16 independent channels as well as power! If your setup requires many personal monitors, having multiple P16-HQs can make that process easier.
