Xvive PX-B 3-Channel Snake for PX System

The Xvive PX is a 3-channel personal monitoring system designed for stage and studio use that allows performers and musicians to create custom monitor mixes for their in-ear monitors—right from a convenient lightweight beltpack mixer. The portable system includes the PX-A beltpack mixer, the PX-B snake that delivers audio from your console and PoE to the mixer, a 25-foot Cat 5 Ethernet cable, and three XLR to 1/4″ TS adapters. All you need to supply is your favorite set of headphones or in-ear monitors.

Xvive Audio PX-A Three-Channel Mixer/Headphone Amplifier for PX Personal Monitoring System

The PX-A from Xvive is a three-channel beltpack mixer and headphone amplifier designed for in-ear monitoring applications when used with a PX-B snake (available separately). The PX system allows musicians, vocalists, and performers to dial in their own preferred blend of the three input signals for a custom monitor mix.

Choose Your Sources

Singers

You choose what you need to hear and adjust as needed during performance. Singers, for example, need to control their own volume, but will also need to hear whatever instruments they rely on for a pitch reference. So, Input 1 might be an aux mix including only their vocal, or a mix of all vocals with their voice loudest; Input 2 could have a mix of guitar and keyboards, and Input 3 could be a mix of bass and kick drum.

Instrumentalists

If you play an instrument, you want to hear what you’re playing loud and clear, so you don’t wear out your fingers, and so that the subtleties of your playing matter. But you need to hear the vocals to keep you in touch with the structure (and the emotion) of the song; and you need to hear the drums, so you not only play in time, but groove well with the group.

Drummers

If you’re a drummer, you want to hear the drums well enough to have an accurate sense of your balance within your kit, and so you can feel the impact of your kick and snare. You need to hear the bass in order to function well as a rhythm section; you need to hear the vocals to help keep you oriented in the song structure; and you need the energy and rhythm of guitars and keyboards.

Versatile and Reliable Monitoring

Use with PX-B Snake

The PX-A mixer receives audio from a mixing console via the separately available PX-B 3-channel snake. Use a Cat 5 cable such as the 25-foot EC25 (available separately) to send the audio to the input of your PX-A mixer.

Power Options

The PX-A mixer can be powered by two AAA batteries—or, more reliably, a 9V/2A center-negative power supply connected to the PX-B snake (the Xvive A2 power supply is recommended). An Ethernet cable, which can be up to 200-feet long, conveys both the audio from the console and the PoE (Power over Ethernet) from the power supply.

Mix and Pan

Not only can you adjust your master earphone/headphone volume and the levels of your three chosen channels, but you can also pan the channels (left, right, or center) using DIP switches located inside the PX-A’s battery compartment. This can help you hear better by isolating the channels.

Reliable Signal and Sound Quality

The locking Cat 5 cable connector on the PX-A ensures that your Ethernet cable stays connected during performance. Audio signals are transmitted digitally up to 200 feet, without degradation, via Ethernet. And thanks to the PX-A’s high-quality preamp and internal circuitry, you will enjoy pristine audio at all times.

PX-H Hub: Expand for the Band

If you’re performing, recording, or rehearsing with a band of up to five people, you can expand your PX system with the PX-H 5-Channel Hub (available separately). Each additional band member would need their own PX-A mixer and Ethernet cable, but only one PX-B snake and one power supply would be needed to send audio to the hub and supply all connected mixers with power.

Xvive Audio PX-B Three-Channel Snake for PX Personal Monitoring System

The PX-B Snake is part of the Xvive PX three-channel personal in-ear monitoring system for musicians and performers. Use it to supply three channels of audio and PoE to a PX-A beltpack mixer (available separately). The snake’s three balanced XLR inputs (three XLR to 1/4″ TS adapters are included) connect to outputs (typically aux outs) from the console or other audio sources. Then simply connect the snake’s Ethernet output to the Ethernet input on the PX-A (the separately available 25-foot EC25 cable is recommended) and performers can dial in a custom 3-channel mix for their headphones or in-ear monitors.

If you’re performing or rehearsing with a band, the PX-B snake also supports the PX-H five-channel hub (available separately). The hub accommodates up to five PX-A mixers via Cat 5 cables. Conveniently, only one PX-B snake and one power supply are needed to send audio to the hub and supply all connected the mixers with power.
