3 channel mixer for in-ear monitoring
With the Xvive PX Mixer System, band members, vocalists and stage technicians can freely decide which elements of a three‑channel monitoring mix they want to hear. The Xvive PX‑A 3‑Channel Mixer, available here as a standalone unit, serves as the personal mixing and monitoring hub within this system. Using the PX‑A, three mono signals or a stereo signal plus an additional mono signal can be combined and mixed directly on the unit to suit each performer's individual preferences. As such, this compact headphone amplifier functions an additional output device to expand an existing in‑ear monitoring setup. The PX‑A 3‑Channel Mixer can be powered by two AAA batteries or via a 9V DC power supply, which is connected either to the separately available PX‑B 3‑Channel Snake or to the PX‑H 5‑Channel Hub.

Sound and power via CAT5
Part of the modular Xvive PX Mixer System, the PX‑A 3‑Channel Mixer is the final link in the chain, the musician's personal monitoring unit. It's connected via a CAT cable to a PX‑B 3‑Channel Snake or a PX‑H 5‑Channel Hub, receiving both the audio signals and 9V DC power through this connection. The PX‑A 3‑Channel Mixer features level controls for the master output and each individual channel. In addition, audio signal panning can be adjusted using DIP switches located in the battery compartment, with left, right or centre options available. The integrated headphone amplifier delivers a maximum output level of 2 × 150mW at 16 ohms. Thanks to its sturdy clip, the PX‑A 3‑Channel Mixer can be comfortably attached to a waistband or belt, making it ideal for musicians who like to move around on stage.

A scalable monitoring solution
The Xvive PX System is a flexible, wired personal monitoring solution for anyone working on or around the stage. The Xvive PX‑A 3‑Channel Mixer, offered here as a standalone product, allows multiple monitor signals to be mixed individually and monitored directly via headphones. The PX‑A is connected via CAT cable to a PX‑B 3‑Channel Snake or a PX‑H 5‑Channel Hub and can be operated either on batteries or powered through the system. In addition to the PX‑A, the PX‑B 3‑Channel Snake provides the appropriate signal input unit, while the optional PX‑H 5‑Channel Hub offers distribution and expansion options. This makes the Xvive PX system easy to scale – from simple individual setups to supplying multiple musicians during rehearsals or live recording sessions in the studio.

For individual monitor mixes
Singers often need to readjust the balance between their voice and the other musicians in their monitor mix during a performance. A typical setup in this case would be vocals on the first input, guitars and keyboard mix on the second, and finally bass and drums on the third. For drummers, hearing the drums, bass, guitar, and vocals loud and clear is crucial in order to navigate the song structure, subtly interact with other band members and of course remain in lockstep with the bassist at all times. In this case, a typical setup might be bass on the first input, drums on the second input, and finally guitar and vocals on the third input.
