control and STEREO/MONO switch. The
CUE INPUT section has a level control
and Left/Center/Right ASSIGN switch.
Features
Proprietary High Voltage
Drives multiple headphones of any
impedance greater than or equal to
8 ohms with the equivalent output
voltage of a much larger power
amplifier.
6 Stereo Outputs
Automatically adjusts output power
to match the load impedance. Can
be used as a one-input, 6-output
headphone amplifier or as 6 head-
phone amplifiers.
Unique Mono Cue Input
For feeding a mix minus or IFB from
a producer or remote talent into the
main monitor mix during a live
broadcast, or for feeding a click
track during a recording session.
Assignable to left, center (left and
right), or right.
Mono/Stereo Switch
Maintains stereo signal integrity
from input to output or, in mono
position, either or both program
inputs may be used to provide mono
program signal.
Direct Input/Output and
Allows you to interrupt the program/
cue input on each amplifier channel
and to insert a separate signal to
drive that amplifier channel indepen-
dently from the other channels. Gain
controls are provided for program
and cue inputs and for the 6 output
amplifier channels.
Internal Power Supply
No “wallwart” or “lump-in-the-line.”
Optional Headphone Remote Box
Same 6 headphone outputs are also
provided at the rear panel to provide
output to the Symetrix HR-1 Head-
phone Remote.
