First turn on the unit, then put the earphones on the unit with the volume knob at zero, and then put the earphones to your ears. Every part of the PM1 is designed to withstand the rigors of the road, from the smooth volume pot to the overbuilt metal chassis and belt clip. So I compiled a list of the 5 best in-ear monitor systems for live performance from the top brands in pro-audio. Music background: Pro Musician Rated 5/ 5 Best low cost IEM Couple this with Shure SE215 and you have a killer low cost IEM solution.

This system uses automatic frequency scanning to find the best one for transmission via 200 selectable UHF frequencies. In conclusion, I'm very happy with these, accepting them for what they are and their minor limitations. It is important to note that PM1's XLR input is not designed to accept balanced line signals taken directly from your mixer, as an amplified source is required. And should it be necessary to connect a stereo source such as a headphone output, users simply need to pick up a robust adapter cable like the Sommer Cable Stage 22 SG04-0500-SW and switch the internal mono/stereo switch to the stereo position.I was able to send a mono mix to each of the band members giving them a reference they could follow along with. revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect.

The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other Behringer owners to provide you with a good answer. The unit does feel quite large when clipped to your belt, the clip on the unit feels strong and robust though. Since I have the PM1 I always keep the volume of the headphones output on my audio interface at 100% and use the knob on the PM1 to control the volume of my headphones. For example, I find their rack mount EQs are very nice - becuuase they had a good look at the market leader and thought about how they'd reflect that. I use the Behringer Powerplay PM1 to extend my monitor headphones cord and be able to adjust the volume at the same time while recording in my home studio.Also, the belt clip (whilst definitely strong enough) is not very deep, causing the unit to up-end occasionally. Sweetwater reviewers were impressed with the locking XLR input, which keeps foot traffic and stage mishaps from disconnecting your monitor source. Designed with professional musicians in mind, the PM1 provides a wide frequency response range, allowing for accurate monitoring of both low and high frequencies. The one thing that does let this unit down slightly though is the battery compartment, it's very small, so small in fact that once you put a standard 9v battery in the unit, it's very difficult to take it back out again tho change it.

You may not use the Image in any way that might prejudice the reputation of Music Tribe, or the distinctiveness, validity or goodwill of any of its brands. I am assuming it does this by using XLR pin 2 for one side and pin 3 for the other side, most likely through a transformer that is creating a balanced input connection. Overall, the Behringer PM1 is a reliable and user-friendly monitor that provides clear and accurate sound monitoring for musicians, both on stage and in the studio. Quote from: Keith Broughton on March 20, 2016, 02:58:06 PM While you are correct on your description of impedance "balanced" TRS connections I think there is a flaw the the pin 2 right, pin 3 left concept. I use this as an in-ear amp at band rehearsals and it does the job just fine as the actual sounds depend on a multitude of other equipment, so it's hard to really weigh in on that.

The detented volume control admittedly does not have the finest increments in the world, but the batteries (available as an accessory) last a comparatively long time, and the headphone output is extremely easy to access. The build itself is good and it's really robust with an accessible battery for quick changes, however, I think that the buckle is a poor design, not the quality, that's good, but the design and the placement are not really functional.

A convenient hardwired personal in-ear control centre, the PM1’s belt pack puts monitor control right at your fingertips, plus it’s lightweight, ultra-easy to use – and it doesn’t require a power source! It has a good headroom (much more louder than a P1) for playing with a loud band and setting up a powerful headphone mix.For many years I have used the Fisher version of this device and was interested in how these would compare. The result is a good sounding, loud and sturdy unit which has so far exceeded my expectations - and has raised positive comments from other, more sniffy engineers. It has a convenient belt clip, allowing the user to attach it securely to their person for easy access. I have had used it for 30-50 gigs already, always clipping it to my jeans strap, sometimes sitting on a chair, sometimes standing up, and, it's chassis has a dent around a XLR area, and a belt clip has a little lost its form. Operation up to 12 hours with 2 AAA batteries or rechargeable batteries (not included, suitable batteries: Article Nr.
