Hard wired in ear packs - Behringer P1 any good?

[Riley Casey]

Has anyone had experience using the Behringer Powerplay P1 hardwired IEM belt pack? I'm looking for some emergency crash dive belt packs to carry with my IEM systems as back up when the real world spectrum doesn't agree with the Wireless Workbench pre-show file build. Any other hardwired packs I should look at?

Didn't help to be directly under the transmitter tower but still, another reason to hate TV.

I've worked with a couple wedding bands that use the P1 and P2 on wired IEMs; they worked. One of the bands used to use the Shure wired IEM belt packs switched to the P1's; the Shure's flaw is the mini plug to dual XLRs.

You can't go wrong with the P2. I own 6 and they work great! - I also converted a couple to be used with an AC adapter. The P1 is solid as well but a little big.

We have used the P1 and the P2. The P1 is dual input so if you need stereo go with that one. It's a bit heavy and we didn't need stereo so we moved to the P2. The P2 is much lighter and has a combo XLR/TRS input. I also like that it uses AAA batteries instead of the 9 volt the P2 uses. Those that have used both have commented on the good quality but all agree that the P2 is much easier to deal with.
