Stereo Headphone In and Thru
The
H
eadpHone
I
n
on the BOOM-1 is designed to accept the unbalanced stereo headphone output from a
personal mixer or similar audio device. This signal becomes the audio input to the BOOM-1 DSP processor.
An exact copy of your headphone input is available at the
H
eadpHone
t
Hru
jack. This provides an easy way
to feed your personal mixer’s stereo mix to the BOOM-1 digital signal processor while retaining the use of
its unprocessed stereo output for your headphones or earbuds.

:
The Headphone In and Thru are duplicated on the BOOM-1’s front and rear panel for
convenience sake. It is recommended that only one audio source be connected to the
BOOM-1
H
eadpHone
I
n
at a time.
When setting up your system it is important to remember that the front and rear
H
eadpHone
I
n
will interact
with each other if improperly used and should not be thought of as a passive audio mixer, or in the case of
the
H
eadpHone
t
Hru
connection, as a way to connect multiple headphones/earbuds. Connect one source to
the
H
eadpHone
I
n
and one set of headphones/earbuds to the
H
eadpHone
t
Hru
for optimal results.

Headphone Thru jack on the BOOM-1.

1/4-inch jack on the BOOM-1 is designed to accept a left-right stereo, unbalanced audio
signal as its input. A standard TRS stereo plug is configured as follows:

connect mono, balanced TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) 1/4-inch line-level audio signals to the BOOM-1
headphone input; phase-induced cancellation of the source audio signal will occur. Connect line-level
audio sources to the XLR Line In on the rear panel; use a TRS-to-XLR adapter cable if necessary.
