Product Description
The POWERPLAY P1 Personal In-Ear Monitor (IEM) Amplifier puts control where it' most useful right at the artist' fingertips. Whether on stage or in the studio, the P1 provides performers and recording artists with a dependable and affordable personal monitoring solution. Drummer-Proof Output The P1' high-power headphone output ensures that as the band gets louder, you'll still be able to hear every nuance of your performance. And the P1' simple user interface makes it easy for everyone to dial in a perfect mix every time. Using the P1 also helps protect your hearing in two ways. First, thanks to a built-in current limiter, unexpected peaks in signal level won't get to your ears. Second, the simple act of wearing headphones or earbuds helps isolate your ears from loud stage volume of instrument amps and monitor wedges. With the P1, you can clearly hear your own performance and blend in the ideal amount of the rest of the band. The Perfect Monitor Mix Dual XLR inputs allow 2-channel, mono or stereo operation with a convenient mix function which allows you to run two sources into the P1 and dial-in exactly what you want to hear as you perform. Two simple controls, Level and Balance, help you achieve the perfect mix in an instant. The P1 lets you take control of what you hear and allows the engineer to concentrate on providing the audience the best listening experience. Plus, setup is so fast and easy, letting you concentrate on putting on the best performance when you hit the stage. Power to Last One little 9 V battery lasts up to 12 hours, so the P1 will go as long as your next show or studio recording session! Or, use the optional PSU-SB DC power supply for the ultimate in dependable power. And the P1's metal chassis is built like a tank to handle even your most- demanding and energetic performance. Small enough to hang on your belt or mount on a mic or drum stand.

Update 11/28/2023 - I have had this unit for 6 years, used almost weekly, without a failure. Even with the shortcomings mentioned, it deserves a 5 star rating for reliability alone so I have updated this review.
Some have criticized the battery box. I think it's perfect actually, and here's why. Others want more room in the box to change the battery instantly. I like that the unit houses the battery snugly with no rattle or wiggle. This makes the unit seem more solid because nothing rattles around, even when you shake it. I have worn many wireless units with larger battery boxes, and the rattling of the battery can be felt when I'm moving around. It's minor, but annoying.
Changing it is still very simple, and done without tools. It's just that the battery doesn't come falling out when you open the case.
EDIT OCTOBER 12 - One of the wires which connect the battery snap-connector broke when changing out a battery mid show. No abuse, it's just too thin a wire to hold up to repeated changes. I soldered in another battery clip inside, and all is fine now. No biggie for me with a soldering set and the know-how, but a major hassle requiring warranty exchange if you don't have soldering ability.
Also, While I still like the snug battery compartment as opposed to other reviewers, the door is flimsy. It falls off if the box is jarred, as in dropped from a short height. Battery stays in though. a fresh Duracell 9V battery lasts just barely one 4-hour show using Westone dual-driver IEM's. I will be thinking of ways to power the unit externally now.
For these minor annoyances, I deducted a star from my original 5-star review.
But the rest stands, it is loud, versatile and sounds great.

Like - quality and rugged and compact
Great for wired onstage monitoring with IEM
Pros:
+ Good build quality
+ Good quality switches
+ Power on/off saves battery
+ Low battery indicator
+ clear sound
+ I can easily clip it on my pant/belt in the back easily
+ 3.5mm IEM out
+ amplifier produces enough sound for the IEMs
Cons:
-- Battery slot is very tight, Its takes time to remove and place a new battery. I have envie rechargeable 9v battery. Its too tight. I heard Duracell fits perfectly but need to try. Once it put the battery, to lock the battery cover , I need to put magic tape else it comes out after locking as it has a tight foam pad. But this is not a deal breaker considering all other features.
I am very much satisfied. It does its job.
