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 have wireless in ear monitors for bass and guitar but the keyboard player and drummer don't move around this works great for them I love that they don't use batteries l like so much I had to buy4 more less then 10 bucks I received the shipment earlier than I thought. Thank you.

Excelente producto para tocar y escuchar los in ears

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

I bought this on a whim trying to get used to performing more with in-ears. I took it out for a couple of test tours and they worked flawlessly! Monitor mix had to pushed a little hot since there is no active power in the unit, but once you get a good loud mix, you can control your master through the single knob which is great!

This is the bang for buck solution for working musicians who need a personal mixer. Note that it is not powered, and cannot be used for high volume environments, but for the money and given that you have a nice pair of in-ear monitors, it will do the job just fine. The build quality is superb with a nice fitting casing as shown in the picture. Clips well on my belt or music stand.

It works but dosent pair well with my bose TS1. The TS1 won't send a good mix to the in ears through this, it's either all Guitars or all Vocals.

It's exactly what you want. To help others looking at reviews. It takes a single XLR cable as input. It's mono. You can connect a 1/8" or 3.55mm headphone jack into the top for your headphone/in ears. Single knob on top to increase gain. Make sure to give it a good amount of level from the source so you don't need to push the gain too much.
