Whats the difference between this and a normal network switch?

It is similar to a network switch in that it connects multiple P 16 remote mixers to the X air. The main thing that we found beneficial was that it also powered all those p16 units via the network cables so we didn’t have to have power supplies all over the stage for each of the individual piece 16s. Hope that helps

Can i run one cat5 from the p16-i at the soundboard to a p16-d on the stage, then run 6 cat5s to the 6 p16-ms?

In my experience that worked for me, but I did not have a p16i (the concept should be the same). You may want to test it, but I believe you would send cat5 from p16i to p16d input, then out to all p16ms.

I already own 1 of these, my question is if I purchase another will I be able to daisy chain them together?

I believe you can daisy chain them. The behringer forum group is pretty responsive. You might post your question there for more info.

If i am using the behringer x32 sound board, will i need the input module (p16-i), or can i go directly from the board to this via supernet (cat5)?

no you will not need the p16i. The p16i is for interfacing with analogue signals. In the back of your x32 there is an cat5 port labeled ultranet. Plug on cat5 to that to the p-16d and now you have power and signal to your p16m

Petit boitier discret mais efficace Vous permet de creer un mixe pour chaque musicien qui fait lui même sa balance Fonctionne parfaitement pour ce que l'on attend de lui Je vois cependant 2 petits inconvenients 1- il faut un boitier par retour musicien (ça fait cher, plus de 1000 €, pour une formation de 5 musiciens par exemple) 2- alimentation independante qui aurai put être intégrée dans le cable Cat5 (ça fait beaucoup de cables qui trainent..)

Klasse Teil. Und kostet nur halb soviel als bei den Musikversandhändlern.

Very easy to use and implement. Ideal for setting up headphone mixes or in ear monitor mixes. Can also be used to tailor monitor wedge mixes! Having a limiter and individual pan, volume for each track is useful, and being able to group channels is clever! Very simple, quick and effective - if you don't have a monitor person, this will take the load off your sound man!
