In-ear monitoring for up to five musicians
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‑H 5‑Channel Hub, available here as a standalone unit, serves as the central distribution unit for multiple performers' personal monitor mixers within this system. The PX‑H distributes the three audio channels fed into the system via a PX‑B 3‑Channel Snake to up to five Xvive PX‑A 3‑Channel Mixers simultaneously using CAT connections. In addition, the 9V power feed can be passed along together with the audio signal. All other components of the PX ecosystem are available individually and as an effective starter set.

Sound and power via CAT5
Within the Xvive PX Mixer System, the PX‑H 5‑Channel Hub functions as the central distribution unit between a PX‑B 3‑Channel Snake and multiple personal monitoring mixers. It receives up to three mono signals from the PX-B input interface and makes them available in parallel to up to five PX‑A 3‑Channel Mixers. This allows multiple performers to work with identical input signals, while still creating their own individual monitor mixes on the PX‑A. When the PX-H is supplied with power from a separate 9V PSU, the power can be passed on to the individual artists' headphone amps via CAT5 cables. This makes the PX‑H particularly well suited for band setups, rehearsal spaces or live recording environments where a shared monitor mix is required for several participants. For applications such as these, the Xvive PX‑H also comes with rack ears to ensure quick and reliable installation.

All-in-one IEM
The Xvive PX‑H is the perfect way to expand the deliberately modular Xvive PX system. Based on a flexible building‑block concept, signal input, distribution and personal monitoring are handled by separate components that can be combined as required. Starting with a basic configuration consisting of a PX‑B 3‑Channel Snake for signal input, a PX‑A 3‑Channel Mixer as the artist's personal monitoring unit, and an EC25 CAT5 cable – conveniently available together as a set – the PX‑H allows the system to be easily expanded with further PX-A headphone mixers to accommodate multiple musicians. To this end, the controls on the PX‑A, which is also available as a standalone unit, are both flexible and intuitive: Audio signal panning is adjusted via DIP switches in the battery compartment, while signal levels are quickly set using the compact unit's rotary controls.

About Xvive
Xvive Audio officially entered the market in 2012 with its compact U2 wireless guitar system. Since then, the company has also been involved in the development of wireless microphone technology. Its catalogue also includes effects pedals, such as the Signature Series, which were developed in partnership with guitarist Thomas Blug. The products are designed by an American team, based in Pasadena, California, which is composed of musicians and engineers and draws on decades of professional experience. Its lead designer, Howard Davies, was previously employed at Electro Harmonix and Pigtronix, among others. Xvive Audio's goal is to create products that deliver exceptional sound and build quality, while remaining affordable for any musician.
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.
