Perfect product with badly designed accessories
No complaints about the device itself it's a lifesaver. Handy, useful and what not. It works flawlessly. Recommend it big time to anyone who still uses stage wedges (really, just cut this already - it's just a bad habit).
My only gripe is about the way Behringer / Thomann have worked out the transportation issue: the aluminium case that Thomann recommends with it is only 50% useful - you see PM16 needs a "shoe" that connects to it underside. This metal plate , once screwed onto the device, makes the whole case unusable (read: it will not fit into the case anymore. So I have been srcewing and unscrewing this plate EVERY FREAKING GIG and it's driving me crazy! The tiny screws that come with it are almost unique - I have no idea what to do if I lose them (tbh already lost one). So somebody should pay more attention to the transportation issues next time. So far I have not been able to find a ready-made, 100% fitting solution for this problem. But again, this has nothing to to with the product directly, although it affects directly the user experience...

Excellent value
This little mixer just works. It's small, rack-mountable and has all of the basic features you need in a mixer. I am using it as a sub-mixer for the drum set to that I can mix the whole kit down to a 2-channel mix. For this price, you simply can't do any better. The sound is a bit on the brighter side, but with the built-in eq on each channel, this can easily be fixed by rolling off some the highs.

Great
Excellent product for those who use in-ear monitors and need an enveloping sound.
Each mixer channel is sent through the appropriate port and the musician can then mix every single channel. The ability to choose the eq, pan, volume, groups, link and change channels puts the musician into a detailed sound immersion.
The aluminum casing makes the mixer light but robust at the same time.
Easy to use!

Compact and very useful for small set-ups
My band has now gone studio-digital, so I had to get one (as in: don't be the only Luddite, not as in: I-gotta-get-me-one-of-these). The effect on my playing, our tightness, my ears, and the poor guy who didn't get one yet has been phenomenal, electric even. Within a couple of days we are in a new performance league. Without exaggeration, the new set-up (1 x P16-I and 4 x P16-M) has transformed the quality of our rehearsals and recording sessions. With good quality noise-blocking headphones, the P16-M allows individual mixing to suit each player's taste and prevents the external reflections bouncing around the studio from masking the purity of the sounds being recorded and played to. Fine adjustment of the instrument channels takes a bit of time, but the effort is worth it. All in all, a nice bit of gear and well worth the investment.

Wie im Studio!
Wenn man bis herausgefunden hat wie es funktioniert hat man Stuidiokomfort in der Probe und auch Live, genial! Tip: Da die BDA sehr bescheiden ist, bei Youtube nachsehen ...

If you use ultranet then these are brilliant
I now own 4 of these which I have used for bands, theatre, church - basically they are great. Your own personal mix under your own control. Putting the band on headphones give me the control I need in a theatre environment. So many complaints about the beand being too loud for the singers now gone completely.

Brilliant for the money
A brilliant piece of kit for the price, much cheaper than other alternatives and works absolutely fantastically! Great quality and easy to use for myself and clients.

flawless
Have been using it on the road for the past 7 years with my jazz electronics band and it has never failed.
It has all the features you'd expect from a studio monitor mixer but at this price point it's a great setup for live bands that want to do their own mixes for monitoring. You could even connect it to an active floor monitor if you don't like in-ears.
I have a 2U rack with the central module and a cheap focusrite 8 channel soundcard. I then get the channels I need from the FOH, hook them to the soundcard which is then connected to the behringer central module via adat. That allows to easily send 8 channels digitally to the behringer card and allows me to accept XLR from the venue (with the possibility of adding gain if needed). If you need more channels it's easy to hook up two adat connections for 16 channels. You don't need a sound card for this to work, but it makes it easier and more flexible to do the routing.
This setup also allows me to record the gigs multi-track easily.
An easy thumbs up for this one, great job by behringer.

Solution for noisie stage :)
Ofcours this working only with Behringer mixers but if you have additional gear for the P16-M you can use it for every mixers. I buy it because I'm usuly play on club that I know that they have Behringer mixer. Very simple to use. EQ, panorama, pairing LR signals, everything what I need
