P16-I

16-Channel 19'' Input Module with Analog and ADAT Optical Inputs

Features Product Overview

The POWERPLAY 16 P16-I Input Module is the primary

interface between your mixer and the complete

POWERPLAY 16 P16 personal monitor system. The P16-I

ts into a single rack space and can convert as many as 16

independent analog signals into 24-bit digital audio that

can be distributed over a BEHRINGER ULTRANET network

using CAT5e cable. The proprietary ULTRANET system then

allows these 16 digital audio channels to be custom-mixed

by multiple individual users equipped with POWERPLAY 16

P16-M personal monitor mixers.

The P16-I provides line-level analog connectivity through

16 balanced ¼" TRS inputs. Each ¼" TRS input channel

has individual signal (SIG) and clip (CLIP) LEDs, as well as

dedicated sensitivity switches with +22 dBu, +4 dBu, 0 dBu,

and -10 dBV gain settings.

For digital input connectivity, the P16-I provides two ADAT

IN inputs (A and B), each with 8-channel capacity, for a

total of 16 channels when both ADAT inputs are in use.

EachADAT IN channel uses optical digital cable and can

accept 16-, 20-, or 24-bit audio, at 48 kHz sampling rate

(standard) or 44.1 kHz sampling rate (if using ADAT with

44.1kHz). Regardless of the sampling rate or bit depth,

theP16-I automatically syncs to the external device's

digitalclock.

The P16-I oers 6 ULTRANET outputs to distribute low-

latency digital audio (<0.9 ms) across the POWERPLAY 16

P16 monitor system using CAT5e cable. Each CAT5e cable

carries 16 independently-mixable channels of audio, as

well as a power signal to remotely power a P16-M mixer.

The POWERPLAY 16 P16-I seamlessly integrates over

ULTRANET with the P16-M and P16-D, as well as the

powerful X32 digital mixer, to form a complete personal

monitoring solution for live, studio, or installed sound

applications.
