Overview

The PreSonus EarMix 16M is a 16-channel personal monitor mixer built around AVB networking technology, designed to give each performer on stage independent control over what they hear. Rather than relying on a front-of-house engineer to adjust wedge mixes between songs, musicians can set their own levels, pan, and EQ directly on the compact hardware unit. Each of the 16 input channels features a 3-band equalizer and a limiter, and the same processing is available on the stereo main output — providing both tonal shaping and hearing protection in a single device.

Connectivity is handled through two AVB Ethernet ports that support daisy-chaining, allowing up to 24 EarMix units to be linked together on a single network with a StudioLive Series III console. Power over Ethernet support simplifies cabling by delivering power and audio over one cable. The unit includes signal-present and clip LEDs for each input along with an 8-segment stereo output meter, making it easy to monitor levels at a glance. With 16 locally stored mix scenes, stereo channel linking, and channel grouping, the EarMix 16M provides the flexibility performers need to fine-tune their monitoring experience night after night.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Powerful headphone amp confidently drives low-impedance in-ear monitors at stage-ready volume
  • PoE support means a single Ethernet cable handles both power and audio, reducing cable clutter
  • 3-band EQ and limiter on every channel gives each performer precise tonal control over their mix
  • 16 locally stored mix scenes allow instant recall of personalized monitor settings between performances

👎 Cons

  • Requires a PreSonus StudioLive Series III mixer or compatible AVB system to function — not a standalone device
  • Mic stand mount adapter is sold separately, adding to the total cost for stage deployment
  • No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth remote control — all adjustments must be made on the hardware unit itself
  • Limited to 16 input channels, which may not be enough for large-scale productions with extensive input lists
