Behringer Powerplay P2

Behringer has been producing good equipment for some time now, and this is no exception. I use this as an in-ear amp at band rehearsals and it does the job just fine as the actual sounds depend on a multitude of other equipment, so it's hard to really weigh in on that.

The build itself is good and it's really robust with an accessible battery for quick changes, however, I think that the buckle is a poor design, not the quality, that's good, but the design and the placement are not really functional. That might not be an issue for everyone, but it is for me and I would like to see a better option in some newer designs.

The build quality is good, solid and the housing made of metal is a good feeling. The overall product is in my opinion a bit on the rudimentary side. I know it doesn't have to be fancy as it is functional but it is very rough and ready, clicky, like a toy almost. Changing the 2 AAA batteries is a bit nerve-racking as you have to actually slide open the body pack, revealing the electronics inside. Yikes! It has made me nervous a bit. There's a mono/stereo switch inside the casing also next to the logic board, and it is a bit basic here too.
Sound is solid. Overall there's nothing fancy in this product and the price tag is very attractive for what it is. It does the job, well, but if you need a bit more refinement and probably extra features, like a second output, or a better belt clip, or a "less scary" access to the battery compartment, look somewhere else. If you however are looking for a cheap and cheerful, ready to go simple body pack for your In-ears, this will do a grand job !

Pour ceux qui ont un budget limité (et encore,..)

Point positifs :
- Léger, compact, tient bien à la ceinture, son ok pour le prix (utilisation en live)
- Le switch permettant de passer en mono (utile dans certains cas où le son n'arriverait que dans une seule oreille par exemple)
- l'entrée combo : plus besoin d'adaptateur.

point négatif :
- Besoin de piles

Evidemment, cela signifie être raccordé par câble pour son retour, ce qui n'est pas aussi confortable que les boitiers HF. Mais on n'est pas dans la même gamme de prix.

Bon produit fiable, jamais eu de problèmes.
