Reviews

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Elite Core Audio PM-16-CORE Personal Monitoring Mixer.

Features and functionality

  • The Elite Core Audio PM-16-CORE uses an XLR to 1/4" TRS cable for sturdy connections, suitable for rackmount headphone amps.

    Source
  • The XR18's headphone output is not recommended for customizable drummer's monitor mixes due to software limitations; consider using the X32 Rack for better flexibility.

    Source
  • The X32 Rack offers significant expandability and improved sound quality over the XR18, with additional inputs and outputs suitable for larger setups.

    Source
  • The P16-HQ features rotary encoders for EQ control, providing separate adjustments per Ultranet channel, unlike the P16-M's overall mix EQ.

    Source
  • The P16-M's EQ requires knob alignment with preset settings to activate, indicated by a red light changing from dull to bright.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Elite Core bodypacks are praised for their durability and compatibility with systems like Behringer P16s, providing reliable connections in live settings.

    Source
  • Elite Core headphone amp and bodypack extensions offer robust XLR connections for long cable runs, maintaining signal integrity for wired IEM setups.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Some prefer the rackmount headphone amplifier over the Behringer Powerplay P1 due to the complexity of managing two XLR cables and battery replacements.

    Source
  • The P16-HQ has a quieter headphone output than the P16-M, due to the P16-M's constant max gain analog amp setup.

    Source

User experience

  • Users value the P16M system for allowing personal mix control through ethernet, reducing reliance on sound technicians and minimizing cable clutter.

    Source
  • Wired IEMs are considered a reliable choice for bassists, preserving low-end quality over long cable runs, particularly when using devices like the Behringer Powerplay P1.

    Source
  • Users note the P16-M's limiter can be set incorrectly, causing volume loss during loud sections, due to its reverse operation where fully clockwise means off.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Running stereo mixes into personal monitors can require complex adapter setups, potentially leading to unbalanced cable issues over long runs.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • Users recommend using industrial-grade WiFi, like Ubiquiti or Mikrotik, to avoid connectivity issues and ensure stable control of the XR18 or X32 mixers.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • The ART S8 mic splitter is highlighted for its performance-saving features, making it a worthwhile investment despite higher costs compared to less reliable models.

    Source

Build quality

  • P16-HQ's buttons are semitransparent rubber, quieter and less tactile than P16-M's clicky plastic buttons, but with backlit feedback for channel status.
