Having a specialized monitor mix engineer can be costly, and managing monitor mixing from FOH can be overwhelming. Fortunately, Personal Monitoring offers a solution where each musician can create their own monitor mix with a dedicated mixer on-stage. Personal monitors provide numerous benefits such as built-in effects for enhanced sound quality, built-in microphones for improved communication and immersion, all controlled through a user-friendly interface.
Whether setting up a single P24 for an artist's mix in a studio or deploying multiple P24HUBs in a large setup for an orchestra pit, the setup and configuration process is always simple. The Behringer P24 Hub StageConnect Hub for Personal Monitor Mixers is the preferred choice for larger setups like touring applications. However, multiple P24 personal mixers can be connected without a hub, perfect for smaller gigs.
For optimal performance and longer cable runs, using high-quality DMX cabling is recommended. While standard XLR cables can be used for short connections, investing in quality DMX cables can enhance the performance of the P24 system. With 8 pairs of balanced stereo outputs, the P24HUB can support up to 8 sets of wireless IEMs, providing flexibility for various setups.
The P24HUB can also serve as a controller for all wireless IEMs, allowing for a cleaner setup. Additionally, the 16 balanced outputs can be used to drive supplemental loudspeakers and amplifiers when musicians are using wired headphones or IEMs on-stage. Integrating the P24HUB into a rack unit is simple due to its compact 1U form-factor, making installation and integration hassle-free for life on the road.
To facilitate communication during performances, the P24HUB features the StageTalk intercom system with individual channels for FOH, stage technicians, and musicians. Engineers can easily set up a wedge or headphone amp for monitoring using the talkback signals on the P24HUB. With the included auto-switching power supply, the P24HUB is suitable for worldwide tour usage and can be conveniently stored in a side rack along with wireless IEM transmitters for organized and pre-wired setup.
