Having a dedicated monitor mix engineer can be costly, while running monitor mixing from FOH can be overly demanding. Personal Monitoring offers a solution where every musician can create their own monitor mix using a dedicated mixer on stage. This approach gives musicians control over their sound, with built-in effects and microphones enhancing the overall experience. The Behringer P24 StageConnect Personal Monitor Mixer simplifies the process, transferring all channels and their labels from the console through AES50 or StageConnect. With 13 hardware faders, users can easily control stereo groups and mic inputs on each personal mixer.
The communication between engineers and on-stage talent is crucial for a seamless performance, and the P24 facilitates this through its StageTalk intercom system. Whether in a studio or live setting, the P24 offers integrated solutions for communication needs. In addition, the P24's hardware design eliminates the need for extensive menu diving, allowing users to customize their mix with controls like Panorama, Tilt-EQ, and Limiter. The mixer seamlessly receives labeling and channel mode information from the console, further enhancing ease-of-use. With flexibility to set channels to STEREO, MONO, or DUAL MONO, the P24 caters to various preferences. Investing in high-quality DMX cables is recommended for optimal performance over longer cable runs, while XLR cables can suffice for shorter connections.
