$50 IN-EAR MONITOR SETUP FOR WORSHIP BANDS | Behringer P1

__

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.

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

“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.

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.

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

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.

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....😍

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 :)

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!

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!

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.

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!

[jeffbrown]

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.

[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!

[henrinortunen]

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

[guitar]

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.

[Tra]

I'm the lead guitarist and vocalist in my band. So I'll just velcro one of these to my pedalboard, and then have a 15ft headphone extension cable going to me. So then all my big cables all run to my pedalboard, and then only my guitar cable and headphone cable go to me

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

[RobertJamesAU]

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

[kevincortez]
