Radial Power-1
The foundation of my pro rig. I trust the Radial Power-1 for its incredible build quality and low-noise performance, ensuring my digital gear stays protected on the road.
Behringer P24 Hub
The P24Hub is the universal bridge for your personal monitoring. It connects to your Behringer X32, Midas M32, or WING console via StageConnect, AES50, or Ultranet. This 1U hub supports up to 8 P24 mixers.
Behringer P16-D (alternative option)
This is a less costly alternative to the P24 Hub. It distributes 16 channels of Ultranet audio and bus power to up to 8 personal mixers over a single CAT5e cable. No extra power adapters on stage. Simple, clean, and proven. This is the budget-friendly path to personal monitoring that thousands of churches and bands already trust.
Behringer P24
The P24 gives musicians total control over 24 channels of digital audio (each channel is stereo). It receives both high-resolution audio and bus power over a single 3-pin DMX cable (High quality XLR cables can work but are not recommended for long runs). With a built-in limiter and an intuitive interface, it鈥檚 a great way to provide professional, high-channel monitoring for your band.
Behringer P16-HQ (alternative option)
The P16-HQ is the personal mixer side of the Ultranet ecosystem. Each musician gets 16 mono channels of control with volume, pan, and 3-band EQ per channel. The upgraded 114dB converter keeps things clean even at high output, and the backlit buttons mean your team can actually see what they're doing on a dark stage. I installed it recently for a client and I absolutely love it!
EliteCore Custom Panels
Aside from amazing cables, EliteCore creates custom-branded rack panels in several rack sizing options. They are a great way to personalize your rack while keeping them neat.
1U Rack Brush Panel
My secret to a clean-looking rack is hiding the mess. These 1U brush panels allow you to pass cables through to the back of the rack while keeping the front looking sleek and organized. Essential for both mobile rigs and home studio setups.
Behringer S32
This is how I get all my inputs from the stage to FOH without dragging a heavy analog snake. The S32 gives me 32 Midas-designed preamps and 16 XLR returns, all over a single Cat 5e cable up to 328 feet. I control every preamp remotely from my console. It also has a built-in Ultranet port, so if you're running P16 personal monitors, it connects directly without extra gear. If you're on an X32, M32, or WING with AES50, this is the stage box that ties the whole rig together.
Shure SLXD4D
Dual-channel digital wireless that just works. The SLXD4D provides 24-bit audio clarity and 120dB of dynamic range, making it a professional standard for touring rigs. Its efficient RF performance allows for more wireless channels in less space.
SKB 1SKB-R8UW
Protection meets portability. This 8U wheeled rack case with a handle & heavy-duty wheels, making it easy to move a fully loaded rig into any venue. Roto-molded for maximum durability, it ensures your I/O, power, and wireless systems stay safe during transport.
EliteCore ProCAT5E Reel
I LOVE this thing!!! The ProCAT5E is the tactical lifeline of my digital rig. This 100ft shielded cable is built specifically for the road, featuring a rugged SuperFlex jacket and a high-quality integrated reel. It鈥檚 the only way I trust to maintain a fail-safe AES50 connection between my rack and the console. Honestly, I love all the cables EliteCore Audio makes! Check out their site for custom cables.
