3. Opsætning

The Behringer POWERPLAY P16-M is designed for easy integration into your existing audio system, particularly with Behringer's Ultranet-compatible devices.

3.1 Connecting the P16-M

Strømtilslutning: Connect the P16-M to a power outlet using the provided power adapter. Alternatively, if using a Behringer P16-I Input Module or P16-D Distribution Hub, the P16-M can receive power over Ethernet (PoE) via the Ultranet connection, eliminating the need for a separate power supply.
Ultranet Connection: Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the P16-M's ULTRANET input to an Ultranet output on a compatible Behringer digital mixer, P16-I Input Module, or P16-D Distribution Hub. This single cable transmits 16 channels of digital audio and, if supported by the source device, power.
Headphone/Monitor Connection: Connect your headphones or in-ear monitors to the 1/4-inch TRS HEADPHONE output on the P16-M. For connecting to a powered monitor speaker, use the LINE OUT (L/R) jacks.

4.1 Channel Selection and Volume

Kanalknapper (1-16): Press any of the 16 channel buttons to select the desired input channel. The corresponding LED will illuminate.
VOLUME knap: Once a channel is selected, use the large VOLUME knob to adjust the individual volume level for that specific channel in your personal mix. The LED meter above the knob indicates the current volume level.
HOVEDKNAP: Press the MAIN button to select the overall master volume control. The VOLUME knob will then adjust the total output level of your personal mix.
SOLO-knap: Press SOLO to listen to only the currently selected channel. Press again to deselect.
MUTE -knap: Press MUTE to silence the currently selected channel. Press again to unmute.

4.2 Udligning (EQ)

Each channel features a 3-band equalizer to fine-tune the sound.

BAS knap: Adjusts the low-frequency content of the selected channel.
MID-knap: Adjusts the mid-frequency content.
FREQ Knob: When the MID knob is active, this knob selects the specific frequency within the mid-range that the MID knob will affect.
TREBLE knap: Adjusts the high-frequency content of the selected channel.

4.3 Panorering/Balance

The PAN/BAL knob allows you to position the selected channel within the stereo field of your monitor mix.

PAN/BAL Knob: Turn left to pan the sound towards the left ear/speaker, and right to pan towards the right. The LED meter indicates the current pan position.

4.4 Output Controls

LIMITER Knob: This control adjusts the threshold of the built-in limiter. Turning it clockwise increases the limiting effect, preventing sudden loud peaks and protecting your hearing.

6. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your P16-M, consult the following troubleshooting guide before contacting support.

Problem	Mulig årsag	Løsning
Ingen strøm til enheden.	Power adapter not connected or faulty; Ultranet cable not providing PoE; power outlet not active.	Sørg for, at strømadapteren er korrekt tilsluttet og sat i en stikkontakt. If using PoE, verify the Ultranet source (e.g., P16-I, P16-D) is powered and configured correctly. Try a different power outlet or adapter.
No sound from headphones/line out.	Volume too low; MUTE engaged; incorrect channel selected; Ultranet signal issue; faulty headphones/cables.	Check the MAIN and individual channel VOLUME knobs. Ensure the MUTE button is not active for the selected channel or the master. Verify the correct channel is selected and receiving signal from the Ultranet source. Test with different headphones or cables. Confirm the Ultranet cable is securely connected and functioning.
Forvrænget lyd.	Input signal too hot; output level too high; limiter set too aggressively.	Reduce the input gain at the source (e.g., mixer). Lower the P16-M's master LEVEL knob. Adjust the LIMITER knob to a less aggressive setting.
Cannot save/recall presets.	Incorrect procedure for STORE/RECALL.	Refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual for saving and recalling presets.
