Power Dynamics PD810 - Professional UHF In-Ear Monitoring System
The Power Dynamics PD810 is a professional-grade wireless in-ear monitoring system designed to deliver a flawless listening experience for musicians, vocalists, presenters, and sound engineers. This system provides complete freedom of movement on stage or in the studio, eliminating the need for floor monitors and allowing artists to hear their personal mix with exceptional clarity and precision. Thanks to its advanced UHF wireless technology and digital audio quality, the PD810 ensures stable, reliable, and interference-free performance, even in congested radio frequency environments.
The system operates in the UHF frequency band of 863 to 865 MHz, a band that is unlicensed across much of Europe, simplifying setup and operation without the need for additional licenses. With 15 selectable channels and a PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) oscillator, finding a clean frequency is quick and easy, ensuring a solid, uninterrupted signal transmission. Audio quality is superior, with 24-bit/48 kHz digital sampling that captures every nuance of sound, delivering a full frequency response of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Furthermore, the system offers the flexibility to operate in either stereo mode, for immersive and detailed listening, or mono mode, adapting to the needs of each user.
Both the half-rack transmitter and the bodypack receiver are built with a robust metal housing, designed to withstand the demands of continuous use on tours and at live events. Both units feature backlit LCD screens that display crucial information such as channel, frequency, and signal status, making them easy to read in low-light conditions. The set comes in a practical and durable plastic carrying case and includes closed-back headphones, a 19-inch rack mounting kit with antenna extension cable, and all the necessary accessories to get you up and running right away.

Benefits for the artist
Using the PD810 system transforms the live performance experience. It gives the artist complete control over their listening, resulting in better pitch, a more confident performance, and less vocal fatigue. By eliminating reliance on wedge monitors, the overall stage volume is significantly reduced, creating a cleaner sound environment for the musicians, the audience, and the front-of-house engineer. Furthermore, the isolation provided by the in-ear headphones helps protect the musician's hearing from excessive sound pressure levels.
