Standalone Reference-Grade Headphone Amplifier
Even without using C.A.S.T., you can still use N22H as your new standalone, reference headphone
amplifier in the studio or on stage whilst benefiting from its superior performance. You can
connect N22H to devices such as mixing consoles, audio interfaces, keyboards, CD players, 500
series racks, outboard hardware - any device with line-level outputs.
You can also use unbalanced connections such as from guitar pedalboards and FX processors.
However, please ensure the level is line-level for maximum volume and best performance.
This hardware setup diagram will get N22H configured as a standalone, reference-quality
headphone amplifier.

audio interface or preamp.
