Behringer POWERPLAY PM1 Personal In-Ear Monitor Belt Pack, Hardwired Volume Controller with Locking XLR Input for Musicians, No Battery Required, Includes Belt Clip (Black)

A wireless system for my in-ear monitors is far more bulky and complicated than I need; especially when I often work as a solo singer/guitarist with a simple and compact sound system. I'm usually stood fairly close to my mixing desk and not really able to move around the stage very far when I'm playing and singing at the same time, so my first solution was to just connect my in-ears to a headphone cable extender. The issues with this were that I needed an adaptor for the 3.5mm plug (easy to misplace) and the cable itself wasn't very hardwearing and eventually needed some fiddling at every gig before it would work. This handy little box means I can use a balanced jack to XLR instead of the delicate little headphone cable and also have some control of the volume right at my hip. A bonus I hadn't thought of until it arrived is that it is now much easier to send me a monitor feed from bigger systems! Stage boxes and mixing desks that only have an XLR output for my monitor can now send that directly to the PM1. I haven't had it for long, but the metal casing feels fairly robust but also lightweight. Some of the complaints from other reviewers make no sense to me at all, but it's fairly clear that some are making the mistake of trying to use an unbalanced jack to XLR cable or assuming that it would amplify the sound somehow. One thing has occurred to me though and it is that sending from a balanced XLR output (rather than stereo jack) will mean that one of your headphones will be out of phase with the other and I'm not sure how that will sound. Personally, I only use one at a time on stage, so that I can hear the audience and sound in the room, so that won't be an issue for me and if I were to play a much bigger gig with both headphones in and mix my inputs with a "room mic", then I'd probably be using a wireless system anyway.

The best quality and the best price. Excellent product

Great little bit of kit. Used for my in ears on an e-kit and fold back live. Very handy if you don't move around on stage Ideal for drummer.

This item is not battery powered despite the numerous comments and answers others have entered. This is a passive device. Would recommend the Powerplay P2 which is battery powered. Well made , robust but requires an amplified signal source.

It's fine, but be aware this Does Not amplify the signal. Think of it more of a 3.5mm to XLR interface with a volume knob for reducing the volume.

This thing is ridiculously useful. As long as you have a good level coming to it from a headphone amp it’s simple and it works no fuss. I’ve used it at gigs and recording and it’s perfect to get your own level. I also got the model up as it had a built in amp but as yet I haven’t had to use it as this has suited my needs.

Very good product. Solid and does the job. Of course you need a cable and some in ear PA / headphones.

Happy with this item

Underbart att kunna justera volymen, vilket inte var möjligt när jag bara hade en förlängningssladd till mina in ears.

Por alguna razón que desconozco, al momento de conectar mis InEars solo escucho de lado derecho. Uso una consola donde conecto un cable con entrada Plug a XLR tanto en monitores mono como en salida de audífonos y solo sale sonido de lado derecho.

パッシブ音量調整器＋ステレオバランスを一つのXLRオス変換ケーブル、は別途必要ですが、どうしてもパッシブ（アンプアンプで色付けされた音を聞きたくない）でなければ意味が無いので購入しましたが、大正解でした。 原音のまま聴けます。（音量に気を付けないとヘッドホンや耳をやられます） オール金属で頑丈です。 もう生産終了の様なので追加で購入します。

Compacte, léger et sans pile! J'ai longtemps hésité à cause du coté passif mais le prix et le fait qu'il fonctionne sans avoir à gérer des recharges de piles m'ont poussé à prendre celui ci. Je l'utilise avec des écouteurs à faible impédances (KZ) et c'est amplement suffisant bien qu'étant batteur.

コスパは最高ですね。ドラム叩きながらイヤモニ使うので購入。ZOOMのR16でTOPにコンデンサ２本とキックに１本立てて自分の音のモニタしてみましたが十分です。価格も安いし。どこかで見たレビューにノイズが乗るとありましたが、私の場合はノイズはありません。快適ですよ。
