Affordable Personal Monitoring Solution

Whether you're onstage or in the studio, the dbx PMC16 16-channel personal monitor controller gives you complete control over your monitor mix. Designed to be used with the dbx TR1616 16-channel digital snake or any other BLU link-compatible device, the PMC16 facilitates monitoring with in-ear monitors, headphones, powered monitors, or classic monitor wedges. You can daisy-chain up to 60 PMC16s using readily available CAT5e cable; this allows the musicians on the network to receive 16 channels of high-resolution digital audio and customize their own mix to suit their monitoring requirements. The PMC16 includes a 16 channel mixer section with full control of levels, panning, effect send levels, soloing, and muting.

Add professional polish to your mixes

When musicians can hear exactly what they want, they perform better. To that end, the PMC16's is equipped with onboard Lexicon reverb, stereo width control, wedge monitor compensation EQ, 2-band master EQ, master level control, and dbx limiting. It also features a Setup Wizard for quick and easy configuration, full 16-channel level metering, channel grouping, and 16 preset locations for future recall of mixes and configurations. With its powerful yet intuitive user interface and clear LCD display, the PMC16 gives you the power to dial in your monitor mix in real time — exactly the way you want it.

Reviews

Flawless Performance
We've been using PMC's for three or so years now, in the rehearsal studio and on the road. They are fantastic! They are durable, have clear audio, and are easy to use and set up. No errors, no hitches (other than user error).

LOVE IT!
I've used most of personal mixers out there and this one is by far my favorite. I was shocked at how much more I like these than the Aviom and Behringer personal mixers I use so often when I travel. Crystal clear audio, super easy to setup and use and lots of simple to control effects if the user desires. I just installed 8 of these at my church and couldn't be happier!

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

After using this personal monitor mixer and its input module (the TR1616) on a recent gig, I'm in love with the special 'HyperStereo' mode on the mixer for my in-ear phones. It sounds wider and more natural, like the sound is outside your head. Also, at the end of the first set, I noticed that one of our ethernet cables was faulty, which would have normally interupted the sound, but dbx's 'BluLink' connection is a redundant loop, so it kept working through the other side of the loop. Mixing and performing for twenty years, I appreciate a well though-out design - and this system is rock solid!
