Behringer PM1 Personal in-Ear Monitor Belt-Pack

I've purchased a couple of these and the finish and knob is a bit nicer than the very similar Elite Core version. I'm a career audio engineer and these are part of my rehearsals rig. I'm working with top session players in LA. For stage and TV performances, usually wireless IEM systems are usually rented. For long rehearsal days where everyone is mostly stationary on stage, the musicians enjoy highest quality signal and no drop-outs and interference (just a wire, no RF) and no battery level to worry about. At a tiny fraction of the cost of a quality wireless system. The locking XLR connection does its job and does not come unplugged accidentally. Every review here (good or bad) that states that it's mono, or too quiet for loud band use, is fundamentally misinformed on the connections and intended use of this device. You need to feed it with a headphone amplifier, could be the one on your mixer, or outboard. Turn the amplifier to max (or as loud as you could possibly want it) and the volume knob on the pack attenuates (turns it down) to desired level. It can be - and is only - as loud, powerful and high quality as the amplifier you power it with. The XLR input is confusing to many as well. Typical usage for an XLR mic/line signal is balanced mono, but not with these. The signal for these (and any headphone) is unbalanced stereo. This means Pin 1-Ground, Pin 2-Left, Pin 3-Right. From a standard headphone jack, this is achieved with a TRS to XLR-M adaptor. Like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083R4CDT2/

Our praise band uses 8 of these from a Behringer x32 and they work great! We do go direct-in with all instruments including electric drums so we don’t have to play extremely loud, BUT they still have plenty of volume with a decent set of isolating in-ears. Lots of people giving it bad reviews because they didn’t know or understand what the product was before purchasing. They are not powered so if your playing drums in a metal band then maybe these wont work for you? I will say they are still loud enough that people in the front row have said they can hear the click track from our ears on stage... that’s loud. If you get a good mix from the board and you’re a decent musician then you won’t have anything to complain about. I mean it’s an XLR to headphone adaptor with a volume knob, it’s sturdy and does it’s job. 5 stars.

I bought many and each one was worth it, they are spectacular

These are great. The metal feels kinda weird but the work great. Trying out the P2 as well! great for personal Monitors!! Will order more

Robustos, con buena calidad de audio. Son perfectos para músicos y si se tiene un buen amplificador de audífonos. No falla el jack ni el XLR.

Tienen muy buena calidad

Great little device for a simple and budget friendly IEM.

Clarity is good, really good size, only my left monitor earphone works, not to loud

Genial. Funciona a las mil maravillas. Buen sonido y comodísimo de llevar

Me llegaron, quise calarlos y no jalaron, el instructivo en otros idiomas, asi que pense que no serviria.. Pero oh sorpresa, con el equipo de sonido, trabaja a la perfeccion, algunos detallitos, como falta de ajuste para ambos auriculares. Pero el precio bueno, y practico..

Extremely happy with this purchase. purchased four sets of these for my bands new in ear setup. so far these are proving invaluable to our live stage performance. I've heard other reviews state the metal clips on these bend but i have not noticed anything and have been using these for rehearsals and live performances for months now. very happy with this purchase.
