Adorable kid!! I installed the system tonight. This system is an absolute game-changer. It seems that I would spend 30% of my studio time adjusting headphone mixes from the sends of my board and it still would not sound that great. With 4-5 musicians all wanting constant changes, it was frustrating as I wanted to concentrate on getting the outboard gear set. Tonight I plugged in the 16 direct outs of my mixer to this and I almost cried it sounded so good. It is so easy to use I just can't wait to get my friends in the studio to get their reaction. We have a really nice pro studio in the area and the engineer was asked what his favorite piece of gear was that he uses and he said this. Now I see why.
Here's my P16 pro-tip. When the mixers are first powered on, the MAIN button on the left is linked to the volume encoder (lower right knob) and pan encoder. If a client immediately starts turning those encoders it will turn up or down (usually down) or pan the overall mixer output. These two knobs offer an opportunity to completely confuse a client and the engineer. It can even lead to making you think the unit is broken. Should there be a complaint that the mixer volume won't go loud enough or is only coming out one side, push the MAIN button and check the volume encoder and or pan control. Ask me how I know.
I use the same system - it’s great! I mirror the 4 Apollo cue busses to the first 8 channels on the P16, then have 8 more cues I can drive from the DAW for already recorded tracks. It’s a nice setup!
The Powerplay system is absolutely the best and a relieving sight anytime I walk into a studio with one installed. Both on the engineering end and artist end.
Hi Andrew, in case you didn’t notice; when you connect the P16M straight to the P16i or P16D with the Ethernet cable you don’t actually need to use the power supply as the P16M will be powered over Ethernet :) just a quick tip in case you didn’t know. Great stuff as usual!
Dude, the most priceless and precious piece in your studio , is that little person! Lol 😂 I have 16 of those and one on the way! (Grandkids) cherish that! Love your channel! Thanks 🙏🏾
TIps - 1. If you use a behringer digital mixer, you can run a long ethernet cable to another part of the house (porch!), hooks up studio monitors to it, and do a live mix using powered monitors or cans with the pc/Mac/iPad controlling the mixer. 2. If you are using something like an ATEM video switcher and you need to get a stereo feed to it from some distance, you can have the stereo feed on the mixer and output that to the ATEM. Maybe not ideal, but it works.
I think this is great that you are implementing a monitoring system into the home studio. This is something I to am planning on utilizing in my home studio ( once my new home is finished being built). I have several years of experience w/ Aviom systems and have researched all things “personal monitoring systems including the P-19 and it’s big brother the Midas DP-48 which is in an entire other class of its own. Although I have not experienced the p-19’s myself have read up on the features and it’s capability and believe it will be a great tool for you and am looking forward to your review of this system!!
Is Ultranet the only AoIP you're using? Have you used Dante for anything yet? Also, Jack is fantastic! Can't wait to hear what he laid down on the drums. 😎
Cable Management drives me crazy in my little space and I’m 100% ITB, must be a full time job with your place. New stuff going in and coming all the time!!
Trick tip with p16s: the stereo out limiter is garbage so I tend to just leave it off lol (knob all the way to the right). the eq is pretty bad too so all monitor mixing should probably be done prior to reaching that big module in my opinion!
If you can commit to 48khz, ADAT is a great way of connecting it to your x8p! Then you're not using your expensive converter channels for the headphone system. and you have more room for other things like hardware inserts!
I was hoping you were going to show how you did the routing out of Pro Tools.... I have this system, and currently only using master out of PT. Any tips on how to do that routing?
I’m using 8 line outs from one of my interfaces, patched into the first 8 channels of the p16’s. If I want “click” on channel 1, I “send” click to output 1 (pre fader). Guitar to channel 2, I “send” the guitar track to output 2, so on and so forth.
A question I've been struggling with for a couple years now: Do you know why when I get my tracks to the loudness of one of my reference tracks, it will sound fine in my studio monitors and my headphones, and even my couple sets of crappy speakers I keep in my studio in order to get a feel for what it sounds like on cheaper speakers, but on a phone or via my phone's bluetooth in my vehicles, I always have to turn my phone down 2 notches because at full volume it will be distorted?
This is a little above my pay grade. So the DAW runs each separate track to your patch bay? The Patch bay runs into your headphone "brain"? And the brain runs into headphone boxes around the live room? Are we saying the guitarist could change his headphone volume feed between his own guitar, a guest vocalist, and a drummer? Or can these headphone boxes dive DEEP into the mix.... and the guitarist could change how much kick vs snare he is hearing from his drummer across the room? I got confused because the headphone boxes didn't look like endless rotary encoders? How much of the mix can they alter might be my main question haha
There are 16 line inputs, what you send and how much flexibility you give is up to you. But yes whoever has a mixer next to them can independently adjust whatever is being send to the box to their own taste, having no effect on other mixers or the daw.
Does your son realize his shirt is inside out? XD Also, doesn't the Console system in your Apollos allow you to make custom headphone mixes already? I realize these Behringers let the player do it themselves, so I get how it's more convenient.
You are correct I forgot you used the Jumper db connector. Sorry. I’m using cue mixes in my apollo8p I’ve got the p16i interface just haven’t seen how to route the 16 channels back out through adat. Thanks Andrew your the best. Also fast response !
Yes sir I did. On each channel strip where it says monitor right above the fader. Click that and it will let you choose adat as an output. You can stereo link as well but remember you loose two channels when you do. Lastly make sure the channel strip is not muted as it won’t send the audio to p16i if it is muted
Andrew your son is gonna be a audio Engineer just like you And I would love to calab with you at some point and do a video together for each other’s channels
We had our first jam in the studio with these and boy was it awesome. Going to have to do some live sessions!
Please do
This is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen. Being a good dad is one of the great things in life. Love this!
Dude, you are an EXCELLENT dad! Your wife, and your house are surely blessed.

It's crazy to think that just a few videos ago there was nothing in that room, and now it's absolutely stacked haha. Jack is so dope!
Good family fun!
It’s the best thing in the world man, We have hours of fun at home recording ‘found sounds’ and then playing around with them.
I use the same system - it’s great! I mirror the 4 Apollo cue busses to the first 8 channels on the P16, then have 8 more cues I can drive from the DAW for already recorded tracks. It’s a nice setup!
Lil man rocking the clothes inside out.. love it!
Put that boys shirt on right side out!! 🤣 Awesome video been looking this set up too thank you for doing it. Love your channel.
your kid is so gentle with the equipment, my nephew is his age and when he comes to the studio, he has to touch EVERYTHING hahaha
I just got mine going yesterday in my studio. We also use them for the worship team at church. Great, affordable choice, and great video. Thanks.
Really hope jr. follows in his dads footsteps! could be a future engineer for sure!
I need you & your son's help! Job well done Dad!
So AWSOME having your son there!!! Enjoy brother they grow so fast!! And that headphone setup is crazy!!!
We have this system in our studio and we really like the way it streamlines the work flow when tracking.
The Powerplay system is absolutely the best and a relieving sight anytime I walk into a studio with one installed. Both on the engineering end and artist end.
Your kid is the best kid on the internet right now

damn these things realy seem to be convenient ^^
Jack is the master of the studio!!!
little dude is boss
I feel like our setups are heading in the same direction, because this is the exact system I want for my studio!
your son needs a channel for kid musicians reviewing gear! lol
wow hes so smart!!! love this!
Dude, the most priceless and precious piece in your studio , is that little person! Lol 😂
I have 16 of those and one on the way! (Grandkids) cherish that! Love your channel!

Great rundown! The new space looks fantastic, and Jack's awesome! Cheers from Toronto.
Great wholesome video! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the system after some time 🤘🏾✌🏾
BRO!!!! I have these set up in my studio now and its such a critical piece of my workflow. So, very happy to see getting in installed in yours!
yeah buddy! We did a little jam together (drums and bass) it was so cool.
@@AndrewMasters So dope! That's awesome!
Great video....our church uses this system for monitor mixes...pretty fantastic.

Great demo, and the cutest kid on TH-cam award goes to .....👌
Thank you for your great videos!
Love it! Used these in a studio in Ireland and they were seriously handy
I'm pretty surprised with the sound quality for an ethernet system. They've been fun to use.
He is the Best home studio fixer upper!😍

The way the chairs were positioned…are you starting a podcast?
I was just looking at this system. I’m trying to wrap my head around how to use it with my x8p. Maybe a video on that in the future?
adat out, or db25 out into the input module and your set!
If you can commit to 48khz, ADAT is a great way of connecting it to your x8p!
Then you're not using your expensive converter channels for the headphone system.
and you have more room for other things like hardware inserts!
I need this thanks this solves a problem I have
Awesome video. How do you send headphones signal From your UAUDIO interface, to Behringer individually plz ??
My guys!!
Come on man, you're giving away all our secrets!
Wicked video mate. Would be great to see your UA console setup as well.
Best assistant EVER!!! :)
was actually looking into getting that exact system (minus the converter cause I track with an x32) with some of my tax return!
Great video like always :)
Btw u had 2 ua rack interfaces right?
Got rid of 1?
I have the x16 and the x8p, the x8p is in the sidecar and the x16 is in the center of the desk. For now... haha
I just got this system as well!!
Can you explain how you route this in the computer using your Apollo?
More videos with Jack please!
I was hoping you were going to show how you did the routing out of Pro Tools.... I have this system, and currently only using master out of PT. Any tips on how to do that routing?

so how is the "brain" getting signal in? from the interface outs? I wish that was explained further.
Yes
Does your son realize his shirt is inside out? XD
Also, doesn't the Console system in your Apollos allow you to make custom headphone mixes already? I realize these Behringers let the player do it themselves, so I get how it's more convenient.
Did you have to do any routing or did adat from Apollo just show up 1-8 and 9-16 right away on the P16i?
I’m using the 1/4” inputs from my patchbay. If you connected via adat you would just send your outputs to the adat outs of your interface.
You are correct I forgot you used the Jumper db connector.
Sorry. I’m using cue mixes in my apollo8p I’ve got the p16i interface just haven’t seen how to route the 16 channels back out through adat.
Thanks Andrew your the best. Also fast response !
@@jay_palacios2314 Hey man Im gettin ready to purchase the p16 and use with the uad 8p. Did you figure out how to route it out via ADAT? thanks

killer
9:38 what happened to your nail?
4:25. editing error. LOL
Dang!
Super cute, but I'm calling OSHA. Child labor.
When you realize you over-bought and you say “but it’s cool”.
It'll come into play in the big room.
Sweetwater get this man a headphone stand so he can stop hanging them from his mic 😬 I cringed so hard
Cringe studios. It’s official.
