Controls

The POWERPLAY P1 features several controls for managing your in-ear monitor mix:

  • 1. PHONES Output: Accepts a 1/8" (3.5 mm) TRS headphone plug.
  • 2. BATTERY STATUS LEDs: Indicate the current battery life. A green LED lights up when a new battery is installed and power is on. As battery life decreases, both LEDs light up, indicating a voltage between 6.8 and 7.3 V. When only the red LED is lit, the battery needs replacement.
  • 3. VOLUME Knob: Adjusts the overall output level to the headphones.
  • 4. BALANCE Knob: Adjusts the panning of a stereo source connected to both inputs, or the balance between mono sources connected to inputs L/1 and R/2.
  • 5. MODE Button: Determines if audio connected to inputs 1 and 2 is mixed in stereo or dual mono.
    • STEREO Mode: Audio from INPUT (L) goes to the left headphone, and audio from INPUT (R) goes to the right headphone.
    • MONO Mode: Audio from both INPUTS (L) and (R) is routed to both headphone sides, with the BALANCE knob adjusting the volume level between the two sources.
  • 6. ON/OFF Button: Turns the power on and off.
  • 7. DC IN: Accepts a 9 V power adapter.
  • 8. INPUT (L): Accepts signals via XLR cables, routed to the left channel in stereo mode, or channel 1 in mono mode.
  • 9. INPUT (R): Accepts signals via XLR cables, routed to the right channel in stereo mode, or channel 2 in mono mode.
