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.

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.

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.

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.
