In this video, I review the Behringer P1 personal in-ear headphone amp. This monitor is perfect if you need a wired in-ear monitor solution that sounds great and has stereo functionality. We are using it for the drummer in our worship band. While this setup works great for any worship musician, I recommend it most for keyboardists or drummers.

Little bit of a week 2 update, i'm still a firm believer of this thing and still find it great it's a must for everyone.

[@stervankansil]

Hi mate, great video! thank you.. anyway what s the name of the app? I cant find it in the app store

[@PATRICKCASTILLO]

I have a few of those and they work great for me! All you said is correct. You do a great job! God bless you more!

[@laurenjayne84]

“Only” $1000-2000. Such a different world over here. We’d have to stop paying rent on our building to get a new mixing desk.

[@Lucas_Williamson_Drums]

I'm a touring drummer with 2 bands. This thing is amazing. Couldn't live without it

[@Churchfront]

Thanks for sharing!

[@pietropaloschi7450]

My drummer uses it too! We bought it about a month ago, and in europe it is even cheaper! What a great company you are behribger....😍

[@fac3th3wolf]

In a previous video , you were talking about a multi-headphone amplifier. I said stringing unbalanced headphone cables across the stage was a b ad idea. I offered this exact model as the much better solution. I'm glad to see you took it.

[@guitar8617]

Had a couple of those in our hybrid wireless/wired IEM setup and they worked great for my team. Had them primarily for my keyboardist and drummer as well. Vocalist and instrumentalist were on wireless packs. Great choice for doing in ears on a budget.

[@Churchfront]

👍Thanks for sharing, Joel!

[@RevJorgeDiaz]

Love love love the P1; and that’s without the X32 even. That being said, I’m excited to receive our recently ordered X32 and S32 stage box to run the P1. Thanks for all the help you provide Josh!

[@supongsoyah3656]

Awesome product im using for almost few months and its crystal clear

[@jeffbrown8821]

I use one of these at our church. I play drums and it works great. We split the feed to one of our wedges and send it to the P1. Then, just to be crazy we split out of the P1 so the guitar player has in ears as well. Certainly not ideal but until we get a digital board it works just fine. Of course we both have to have the same mix but it works.

[@Churchfront]

Thanks for sharing?

[@nikonlinevids]

FYI you dont need a modern digital mixer to use the P1. P1 comes with XLR balanced inputs and any old school analog mixer like the Mackie 1604 (even first gen.) has (1/4in) balanced aux outputs so all you need is a balanced 1/4 to XLR male cable to get the job done. Great vid Jake. Keep em coming.

[@yourfirekiller]

Jake, another cool wired option I've used, is the Art Headamp 6 Pro. Single rack space with 6 stereo mixes. Rack it with your stage box, and then you only have to send a single headphone cable to each musician; no need for dual XLRs, batteries or AC power. I've even plugged the returns from the fan side of a 50' snake into the Headamp, and then run headphone cables from the stage drop, and it worked great. Cheers!

[@Churchfront]

Nice, I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing!

[@bomartin5204]

I use the P1 and it works great. I have a custom guitar cable that is combined with a IEM cable. I have the P1 on the floor by my helix and I basicly plug my IEM's into my guitar cable. I made one cable and had one loomed together for me. The custom loomed cable was $100. The one I made was about $50 with 2 quality cables and some gaff tape every 1' of so :)

[@Churchfront]

nice!

[@alexcienfuegos3922]

We started using this exact setup at my youth worship group around 6 months ago and do not regret a thing! We absolutely love the functionality of it, specially the stereo option, if you have the outputs for it, then USE IT. It makes a huge difference listening to the click on one ear and whatever you want on the other, or just set it up however you want it. The Behringer P1 is a beast, and does not break the bank at all! Trust me, if you have the money, go for it, it made our IEM experience way better!

[@Churchfront]

👍👊

[@RobertJamesAU]

This product is good for both Church or gigs. I use one alot and love it.

[@danfitz3583]

We've had these at our Church for awhile now and they work great. They are big and heavy though I've never tried clipping it to myself as it's just too big and heavy with the cables hooked in as well, I use a stand for it. Our complaint is our send mix like you said everyone wants their own mix so upgrades required to other equipment but these P1's are great.

[@Churchfront]

Thanks for sharing Dan!

[@czdot]

In-ear monitoring is equally important for all the atheist progressive death metal bands too! 😁

[@Churchfront]

Of course!

[@hlokomani]

Martin Václavík okaayy that works too

[@VertesaGaming]

Im in an atheist Metal Core band Lmao

[@ExtravagentGentleman]

As someone who plays both worship music, and melodic death metal I agree completely.

[@DissTrackTed]

Y’all are pathetic.

[@mikosoft]

We have 6 of these + 4 wireless units. One of our soundguys made special cables for P1s - they are combined XLR + barrel plug to deliver both signal and power from where the digital stagebox is. We don't like to rely on batteries as they can give up unpredictably so having mains power is a must. With the combined cables we don't have to run electricity to each and every P1 box and have a tangle of cables near the musician.

[@jamusic84]

mikosoft Interesting! How are the cables wired exactly? Are the P1’s getting phantom power from the board?

[@henrinortunen9285]

We have used those boxes for a while, but we placed box to the guitar pedalboard so then you can use only regular headphone cable (and also taped those 2 cables to 1) so then 3 hanging cables isnt a problem

[@rjrfletcher2355]

I use this very amp and it does the job at a very affordable price.

[@darrinthorpe9292]

I’m a drummer, and use this amp. It’s awesome!

[@Francounderaps]

God bless you my brother, thanks for your tutorials videos it's a big support for me, I just need your help because in my church I'm setting the audio so we got a sound craft si mixer and I need your help about the crossover dbx 234xs, about the front control recommend the low, mid low and high, when and how can I use the x10 if it is necessary for 2 ways because when I active the x10 the sound canche. I hope you can make a tutorial video about the crossover dbx 234xs. I really need it. Thank you so much and God keep bless you so much.

[@kevincortez2425]

I got to of those at my church for my piano player and my bass player and it works perfectly have had no problems till this day, couldn’t of made a better purchase than that, it’s great and a cheap

[@Churchfront]

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

[@arrowintheknee9956]

Cool! I prefer a small mixer though. As a drummer I need to plug my metronome in. Thank you for your videos.

[@27needles1]

If not mistaken, you can plug your metronome click into the other channel of the Behringer P1 too? So u can have the mix on one side, and your metronome on the other

[@isaiahg490]

Sound nood here. I've bought the P1 and we love it so far! However our church is growing and we are in demand for more. Our digital mixer at our church is a little old and only has 4 bus return channels. Our singers use the Audio 2000, so they all share a mix and take up 1/4 busses. That leaves 3 open buses but I need enough for 6 musicians. Is there anyway to split up the mix or some type of distributer I can buy to to get more buses/returns? Our snake is also an analog snake. Given that we are a set up/tear down church, would investing in a digital snake be the best move? Or is there any alternatives? Thanks!

[@Slalom_Steve]

For the mic stand attachment, how do you remove the 3/8" thread adapter in order to access the 5/8" hole? I tried a tool to unscrew it but it won't budge!

[@juanfajardo1295]

When using the P1 and listening through my in-ers the sound coming through should already be EQ’d with the way it is on the mixer correct?

[@timchambers5242]

How does the balance knob effect 2 channel input (Behringer P1)? Is it worth having their own instrument split between FOH snake/mixer & Ch1 and a shared mix into Ch2 so they could hear themselves plus share a mix? The best option is to have the full control of a mix sent from the FOH digital mixer (eg. the 8 to 16 mixes from the X32 family) or a 16Ch personal monitor mixer (eg. P-16M). My church started with a A&H Qu-16 so mixes are more limited. The guitar/keyboard/drums would love themselves 5 to 10db louder than a shared mix but the instruments probably don't give the right levels for the P1 to mix with. I guess the P1 works best with the line level from a mixer.

[@ThaylorHarmor]

We don’t have an S16/32. So I got two HA8000 and replaced the two wedges on stage that was generating too much room noise. One HA8000 is mixed with all the vocals and the other HA8000. Then each member gets both mixes to their P1. Our Pastor in the band uses Bluetooth earbuds connected to a little 3.5mm bluetooth transmitter. One of our singers uses the same bluetooth transmitter and her iPhone (the P1 was too bulky for her). I am trying to get a digital snake...baby steps.

[@danielgrow3241]

Hi! Can I use the Aux Out's TRS from the X32, to my P1, instead of XLR's X32 outputs? It would be the same? Thanks!!!

[@coredrummer6632]

I have a question is the Behringer in-ear module able to have a microphone ran from the front of a guitar cab to the actual Behringer wireless? like the end of the mic cable plug it into the Behringer XLR , as a drummer I'm real curious, so straight mic cable from the guitar cab being mic'd up , into the wireless box???

[@kobbdab25]

Can you use in ear monitor on analog mixers with 1 aux send to the band that you mix the vocals and band instruments to just that aux send. How do you setup an in ear monitor with this setup?

[@manilabound]

jake, quick question... you still send the signal from the behringer headphone amp to these smaller headphone amps right? and if so, do you just max out the volume from the big unit, then let those who have the smaller unit, adjust on their own?

[@mattfrazier3759]

What's the advantage of this compared to plugging directly into a rack headphone amp like the HA8000? Wouldn't you still get stereo control from a TRS if you're otherwise set up for stereo?

[@jedfriesen]

This is kinda blowing my mind right now. if i'm understanding correctly....can i use my mackie dl16s and setup mix bus as described here and then behringer to go STereo Wired for each band members iems? We are a 4 piece. You may have made our band feel and sound so much better because of this video!!! thank you!

[@vincentguarino4262]

Just wondering, If you only use 1 xlr in (mono), can you still pan different instruments left or right thru the X Air Q app? Thanks

[@salesikanongataa8920]

Gday JakeJust wondering if you created your intro/logo 25-30sec mark? What program did you use to create it? thanks

[@eastonotsae]

Is there anyway you could add a wireless mic cable on to it making a wireless belt pack for cheaper purposes?

[@RobertFreitag]

Hi Jake, I'm using these P1s at church but if I have my in ear headphones in and plug them in there is a loud pop sound which hurts my ears. I tried turning it off, plugging the headphones in then turning it on but there is still a big sound from turning it on. Since we're coming up to the stage up to 5 times in the church meeting putting in my headphones on stage once I have already plugged them in isn't really an option. Have you noticed this? What do you do?

[@PhilemonR]

Hey Jake, why did you choose to buy this, when you had the Powerplay HA8000 before? With this you can also make Stereo-Monitoring - so why would you say the Behringer P1 is better for the drummer? (let's say except controlling volume without going to the HA8000) I would be very glad for an answer!! :-)

Can u run two keyboards into each in put and still here both in each hear?

[@xan-jevanhetu496]

So question.. This has more to do with headphones than the set up. But who should provide the headphones? My church is currently supplying a couple sets for our 4 singers and our drummer. But over time the drummer breaks a set or we have a set with additional singers or guest musicians. Shouldn't the singers/musicians be the ones providing headphones to go with the ministries wireless system?

[@BlackZam09]

So I’m wondering if this would work in the club/bar/other venue scene? That may or may not be up to date with the mixing board. So all that is really needed is an XLR that would power a wedge correct?

Hi bro. Are you familiar with Zoom AMS 24? Can I use that for IEM? Thanks for your video and answering my question.

[@hugomoralesvera3791]

hello, I'm from Chile! I have a question: Can I connect the signal of a Line Out D.I of an instrument amplifier? Like for example a Line out of a bass or guitar amplifier? ... And so have a personal return, in addition to the sound that is emitted by the amplifier? Or is it exclusively for the auxiliary signal of a mixer? regards

[@TheKajunkat]

I know this is a long time coming but yes that will work. You would have to have your monitor mix from the console in mono but you would set your P1 up as stereo. Basically, your monitor mix would be in one ear and your instrument would be in the other. It's kind of redundant though. You would already have your instrument in the monitor mix and you can adjust the level to your liking with the M32-Q app.

[@hugomoralesvera3791]

@@TheKajunkat I don't need a return from the mixer, just from my amp. I have the Laney A1 Plus acoustic amp that has an XLR-DI output. Can you connect that amp output to the Behringer P1 for personal feedback? This is apart from the sound that the amplifier's speaker emits itself.

[@music65605]

I purchased a P1 for my self, but my drummer took it over...and he uses full size headphones and wont part with it...LOL. Been trying to figure out how to get him a stereo mix from my Behringer XR16 DIGITAL MIXER into his headphones. Anyone have any info on how to accomplish this? I've been unable to find any info on how to perform this and cables needed. HELP! Thanks so much. Really like your videos. Jake....keep em coming.

Hi, I have a question. I know the basic about increasing the volume of my instrument and mic but how can I increase the volume of a specific instrument or vocal other than my instrument/mic thru my in ear monitor only. If I raise the vol of others they will be equally go up.... we have a behringer mixer 16 input in my church and planning on buying a rolls pm 351 in ear monitor cuz that's the only thing I can afford.

Can I ask a question. I play saxophone. I tend to make a lot of mistakes because I can't heat my saxophone before making the huge mistake on my notes. I just want to hear it louder but I can't turn it up because we have conversational monitors in front of us all. My band partners wouldn't appreciate it if the saxophone sounds louder than their own instrument of course. Lol. so my question is. Is this monitor system good for that. So I can hear my saxophone louder than the rest of the instruments? Thanks a lot. Blessings to you.

[@TzufFamilyBand]

Hi. Do you know if this can work plugged directly into a pedalboard without a mixer in between? I would like to use it for practicing at home with my pedals without needing a mixer but concerned it might not give enough volume?

[@KrashTheMusician]

Can this be used to heat the piano and bass player?

[@bassred]

My personal PA rig is a Behringer X32 rack (with Sd16 I/O box) and I've got 3 P1's wired in stereo and 3 P16 mixers for a total of 6 stereo IEM mixes- not counting my wireless IEM setup that I can patch in as well. If you have the X32 and growing needs for wired IEMs, the P1's are a good start, but really look into the P16's, which give personal mix control to the player (with some limitations). But for $50-ish, you can't go wrong with the P1!

[@rodneysmith8863]

Which app do use for the P1s. I presume it’s different from the X32 app?

[@bassred]

@@rodneysmith8863 I like Mixing Station, but the regular app works fine. There's also Mix-Q or something that is a very simplified layout just for monitor mixing. I hand my guys a tablet that is already set up to just their mix (I still control channel Gains and EQ's)...

[@salvadoreno1493]

Can you ise this with a presonus digital console?

[@lifewithlay23]

Can you use talkback mics with these ?

[@AnandLakra1]

Is there an in-built limiter on the P1 and P2? As a safety measure for unexpected bang (from mic drops, feedback, equipment power shutdown, etc) in your ear which could potentially damage your hearing for lifetime?

[@nickallen13]

Hearing damage (which I'm a major victim of), is due to exposure over a long period of time, (i.e. >85 decibels over an 8-hr period). Short burst loud noises don't usually cause hearing damage. I'm not saying they can't, but it would be rare for a singular headphone event to cause permanent damage. Standing next to a nuclear explosion, yeah that probably would :) but headphone/earbud speakers aren't strong enough to damage in a singular mic drop, feedback, etc. event.

[@rune288]

I'm struggling to find a digital mixer with enough aux outs to feed a stereo feed to all five members of my band. The behringer xr18 is more than enough input wise. So i looked at the x32 and it's just overkill for what we want. and even then i don't think there is enough aux sends. I would need 10 over all.

[@jayjayripoff]

Ok, I haven't looked into it, but I'm going to assume that in a digital mixer, some of those aux outs/send must surely have the option of been stereo? An XLR will do Stereo. Then you would just need an xlr y splitter?

I believe when you have it in Mono mode it will mic the feed to both sides and when you pan it will just increase the volume of one over the other.
