Exactly!! Highly doubt theyd come loose unless a mouse is back there praising 😂

@@praisethelord20 yeah, but with a snake like that its super easy to accidentally grab one of those cables and rip out like 5 at a time.

@@wheeler116that’s def true man.

Just to use the insert I/O port on the mixer. Because in this case Im not trying to use a stereo signal, but instead cancel the “audio in” ability from the insert I/O port. So imagine im converting a stereo signal into a mono signal. That’s the purpose of the adapter. To convert a 2 functioning port (the audio in and out) to just a 1 function port (the audio out). Hopefully that makes sense!

@@ourvoice7 i did not understand still. what you are using now TRS or TS ? you are connecting TRS to 1/4-inch TS Female to 1/4-inch TRS Male Adapter.?

@@ourvoice7 you are connecting TRS to 1/4-inch TS Female to 1/4-inch TRS Male Adapter.? right

@@peteryousef5177 ok. So using the insert I/O port has 2 functions. It sends audio out while also receiving audio in. Yes? Ok. So that’s why you need a TRS to use that port. Those cables have the right rings on the tips to allow the receiving and sending of audio. For the in ear monitors we only need the audio out function. Yes? Ok. But you just can’t insert a TR cable into that TRS port because the ring tips do not line up so you’ll get a dirty signal for your in ears. So then to make it a clean signal, that adapter converts from using that TRS port to a TS port. Does that make sense?

@@ourvoice7 i understand everything but there is somthing i did not understand it. you are connecting TS to 1/4-inch TS Female to 1/4-inch TRS Male Adapter.? or connecting TRS to 1/4-inch TS Female to 1/4-inch TRS Male Adapter.?

Check out the video again, also there is another older video that I posted that has the exact equipment I used!

If you do a direct output I believe it shouldn’t effect but I’m not sure.

@@ourvoice7 ok thank you

Exactly, so for the external processing you want to have audio going in then back into the main console. In this case I’m only using that port just as an audio out source. So that’s with the adapters and everything, I’m canceling the audio going In and just making it an audio out. Hopefully that helps the confusion!

Ok think I understand , but one other question is the control of audio Is that as you raised d gain on each channel it automatically sends or adjust the level of volume going to the powerplay? I have the same mixing console but I just use the auxiliaries and some headphones pre-amp. But this way you did will come in handy when we do production and have more musicians on stage.

@@richardisaac3180 great question! So no if you raise the gain on the main console it doesn’t affect the volume of the in ears, remember that external audio port I’m using is raw audio straight from the source. Just make sure you have a good clean audio source from your mics and instruments.

Yes you’ll need the adapters. I’m converting from TRS to TS so the snake is actually TS

@@ourvoice7 So if i understand correctly i m still a little new to this… doesn’t matter if i buy a TS or TRS snake i will still need the adapter?

@@ourvoice7 Hello, just wanted to share some information, i believe that on some mixers the insert can work as an out only if you connect a TRS tip just one click in or not fully in. I believe some of the old Mackie analog mixers have that feature, not sure if all mixers have that feature but It wouldn’t hurt to try on other mixers as well. Maybe that would eliminate the need for an adapter. Blessings to all.

You got it! Glad I could help 🙌🏼

@@ourvoice7 I do have another question though. Is there a reason you're using the P16-D? Is it for more power to the personal monitor mixers? I hear that just having the P16-I into the monitor mixers would be enough, but I have read someplaces that musicians didn't have enough power going to them with that alone. Is that the purpose of the P16-D? Thanks again

You bet! There aren’t many channels on the p16 so you’ll get to use all of them! Although I have a 32 channel mixer the p16 doesn’t have the ability to use all the channels.

Mmm are you asking if the Behringer P16 will work with the HA8000?? Maybe I’m not understanding the question

@@ourvoice7 I may have said it wrong. We are wanting to purchase the Behringer HA8000 and we wanted to see if that IEM system would work with a analog board.

@@toledomovementchurch6614 oh yea it definitely will! You’ll just connect from an auxiliary out from the board into the HA8000 and you got some IEM 🙌🏼 just know that you will not be able to individualize what exactly you may hear but everyone will hear the same thing. But if the goal is to not use traditional stage monitors and use just headphones, that’ll work! Hopefully that helps!

So it has to do with the rings at the end of the 1/4. The console insert is a TRS (3rings)which means it can send and receive audio. We only need to send out audio so we use the TS (2rings). So that adapter eliminates the “receiving” and turns it into just a sending channel. Lol hopefully that makes sense.

The makes a lot of sense! Thank you! I appreciate you brother!

@@ben2000music no problem man!

That’s true but I don’t believe you have the ability to adjust each channel individually since that output is just the mains

So I have custom ears from a company called 64 audio. If not we have just regular ones from a company called Westone. If you have the budget go for some custom in ears, if not I’d definitely look into the Sony ones which are pretty awesome.

So definitely run the mix dry. I feel like having reverb can make it sound to mushy and busy. If you want that open sound I’d suggest using a room/crowd mic. This will make your mix in your ears more open. Glad I can help!!

@@ourvoice7 thank you. Do you have a talkback mic going? If so, how did you connect it? Also, is there a slight hum in your system?Thank you in advance.

@@Noble_01 I don’t have a talk back mic but it would be easy to set up. Just assigned it to a channel on the in ear monitor and for the main mixer just make sure you don’t turn on the channel and you should have a talk back mic. So the hum means something isn’t connected right or one of your instruments may need a DI box to cut certain frequencies from that instrument. Turn everything off and go one by one to see which channel it is. If you can still hear the hum and everything is off it could be a cable issue.

@@ourvoice7 so have it on and lower it all the way in the main mix? Or mute it?

@@Noble_01 it shouldn’t have to be on, if no sound then turn on the channel and just lower the mix

Glad I can help man!

It’s a prefader. So you’d have to get the audio out from the effects channels.

@@ourvoice7 Effect channels? Do you use effects in the monitors?

@@ourvoice7 Could I assign a vocal to a Group and send it?

@@tommyscalf8949 so I don’t use effects on mine, I run it dry just because then I feel it becomes too much with all the effects. But yea I would run the vocals in a group then send that out to the in ears. 🙌🏼

i have the same question but he did not ans.................

Thanks man! Yea I’m in the process of getting a digital mixer already. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. Appreciate the comment!

if you have direct out do not need anything. you need to connect from direct out to p16

Now i have a x32 . On digital you can go direct out to p16 but analog u still need the p16I

@@dtworzguitar5775 you x32 so you do not need. you connect from 32 to switcher direct

@@peteryousef5177 now i have x32 to p16d to 4 p16’s

What do you mean by 8 on each side?

@@ourvoice7 Just solved my problem. I saw that the majority of 1/4 snakes online only had 8 on each end.

Would this work? Along with the adapters?

@@jerryjcn ahhh ok I understand now! So you wouldn't be able to have all the channels with only 8, you'd be short 4. But you can still use it like that!

@@jerryjcn and yes it should work with the adapters!

Can you please give in details the things you are using. Starting from the mixer up to the stage. The list of staffs to get

Are you using the same in ear system?

@@ourvoice7 yes I am

So on the p16D there should be some faders to adjust the levels, that will raise the volume so on the personal mixers you won’t have to raise them so loud.

Which in ear are you using?

porque el cuadro P16 utiliza solamente TS no TRS. Si intenta conectar un cable TRS a la caja P16 no va a funcionar.

which wireless ears do you have?

@@ourvoice7 Audio2000’s AWM630AU

@@leviaguilar9419 so are you planning on using all four wireless in ears?

@@ourvoice7 yes

@@leviaguilar9419 ok so plain and simple, you need to get the audio out from the mixer to the in ear receiver. The mixer should have an audio out. So you will connect that audio with an xlr cable into the in ear receiver labeled AF in. Then you can connect from the AF out into the next receiver AF in. Do that for all the recievers

No afectan al volumen de la p16. Puede controlar el volumen a través del cuadro de distribución, ese cuadro tiene fundidores integrados que controlan la cantidad de salida que va a la p16.

O sea que aunque tenga el volumen abajo de los faders, tendré volumen en el p16-I? O mientras toquemos y necesiten ajustar el volumen en la mezcladora no se verá afectado el audio de los p16-m? Muchas gracias bro!

@@jhocsanariel07 Puedes bajar los niveles hasta el final y todavía escucharás en la p16. Incluso si el canal no está activado, aún puede escuchar su instrumento a través de la p16. Así que, por ejemplo, podemos escuchar música desde el mezclador con todos los demás canales apagados, y todavía podemos escuchar los instrumentos cuando sintonizamos antes de que realmente tocamos.

Muchas gracias hermano bendiciones!!

@@jhocsanariel07 espero que esto ayuda a responder a su pregunta!

You would still need that adapter to work. So it would be the trs adapter then to a Y cable, which could then split into the power play and audio interface. It’ll just be a lot of cables you need to manage!

Glad I could help!

@@ourvoice7 to you, could you help me with something? So, i have a mpg24x and my inputA is for XLR instruments, my insert is for P16i, can i use input B for PREAMP? :/

@@lilacst I’m not too sure. Because the preamp needs a signal coming in to boost. What are you using the preamp for??

@@ourvoice7 :c to record on my computer.

@@lilacst oh yea no you cannot use that. It doesn’t send audio out. I’d recommend using the auxiliary channels. Just mix each channel to an auxiliary so that it’ll be one cord into your computer.

So all of our mic cables on stage (drums, mics, guitars) ago a cable snake to the side of stage. That snake runs all the way towards the back into a mixer. So like you mentioned, we need 2 audio output sources one for speakers and other to the in ears. For the speakers it just sending out the normal main speaker output of the mixer. Now for my mixer, I don’t have a separate audio out channel for each individual channel. But my mixer does have a I/O port which is meant to send audio signal out into an effects rack then back into the mixer with the same cable. And every single channel on my mixer has that I/O port. So what did what essential use that port to only send audio out, but instead connecting to an effects rack like intended, Im connecting to the p16 distribution box. That box converts the “analog” audio from that I/O port into a “digital” signal. Then from the distribution box I run a cable to the P16 in ears. It’s a bit complicated because my mixer sends out analog audio signal when the P16 requires digital signals. So this like a “hack “ if you can think like that lol Hope that helps!

@@ourvoice7 so in each channel, you have to connect 1 input cable from instrument, and 1 cable output from insert jack to the p16 distribution rack? So basically you put 2 sets of 16 snake cable?

@@dodolipretify eh not really. So you have one 16 channel snake and that snake is what connects from the mixer (using the insert I/O) ports into the p16 distribution. Yes you need an instrument cable from your instrument to the mixer. So in my case each channel on the mixer has 2 cables, 1 instrument cable providing the audio in then one of the 16 channel snake going into the p16 Distribution. Hopefully that answers your questions!

And also would it work if it only said insert because I have the Yamaha mgp24x mixer digital/ anolong

Ok so to answer the first question I have one 16 channel snake from mixer to power play since the power play can only have 16 channels. The back of the power play is only ts so you can’t use xlr. And it will work with those inserts from your mixer!

@@ourvoice7 Do I leave the xlr cables on the mixer and just connect the trs cables to mixer and power play??

@@leviaguilar9419 so you need to leave the XLR connected cause that’s the one bringing in the sound. The “insert” port is made for if you have like an effects rack, so it’s able to send and receive sound. Leave the XLR and also use the insert port as well.

You’re main monitors should have its own Output channel with its own fader. What kind of mixer are you using?

Ruben Hernandez glad I could help! Comment if you have more questions!

Emery Bryan it’s the Yamaha MG32/14fx. It’s old but gets the job done!

iceplaysmusic thx I’ll check it out because the behringer x32 is too expensive 😂

Emery Bryan they are! Sometimes you can find used ones not too pricey. I believe Yamaha has a similar newer version of the one I have. And it’s actually an analog/digital combo if I’m not mistaken lol

Hector Garcia nope, you’re all set! I’d just use a snake just to make sure all your wires and channels organized.

@@ourvoice7 what was the purpose of the adapters?

@@treniacaron3242 so that port is a TRS which means it sends out and receives the audio signal. I only need to send out the audio to the power play distributor so that’s what the adapter is for, to only enable sending out audio signal.
