Mackie HM Series, 4-Way Headphone Amplifier Mixer Accessory 1-ch x 4 Headphones (HM-4)

Product Information

Mixing a mastering can often be a lengthy process and the neighbors might not be pleased about hearing the same part of a tune on repeat at unsociable hours. The ear cups are made out of high-density, heat sensitive memory foam ear cups and coated in microfiber, and the headphones sport a silicone lined headband that conforms to your head to provide the ultimate comfortable listening experience when in the studio for long periods of time. While size and volume isn’t the whole story, it does serve to illustrate the point. Headphone amplifiers are designed to supply enough voltage to power headphones that need it. There are more headphones, even in the professional studio world, that don’t need it than do.

Depending on the model you decide to buy, the VOX amPlug 2 could sound completely different. The amPlug model you use will vastly change the sound you get, but overall, each model has its own strengths. Your best bet is to go with the style of amp that you think fits your guitar/bass playing style the best and give it a try. Given the affordability of this amp, it can even make sense to have multiple types for different purposes. Don’t get me wrong. These aren’t amazing relative to others on this list but they are aeons beyond others not on the list and you get four amps that out-perform other single channel units that cost twice as much. PreSonus doesn’t play around. The SP-5s come with Ultrasone’s S-LOGIC Plus technology, which places sonic objects in the expected spatial field, giving your audio very natural, accurate spatial imaging and making it easier to mix. The S-LOGIC Plus technology also reduces ear fatigue quite significantly by reducing the sound pressure levels on your eardrums by 40%, reducing the potential for hearing loss. For greater sonic control, S phone also features a 2-band equalizer on each of the four channels. A master Stereo Aux input on the front panel is also supplied for inserting a second signal to all headphones. This amp’s ability to provide audio to multiple pairs of headphones makes it ideal for group listening or for passionate audio enthusiasts who enjoy switching between several pairs of headphones. It will also prove useful to those with home recording studios.A longer splitter lets you move freely, but it can get tangled and take up more space in your bag. On the other hand, a shorter splitter is easier to store and less likely to tangle. But it also limits your movements while using it. The imaging is excellent, and when paired with the amazingly accurate sound of the crisp highs and smooth yet punchy bass frequencies, you get an utmost enjoyable listening experience.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. They move a lot of units which allows them to extend price breaks deeper than other companies are willing to. This is what you want if you’re in a “Give me something now with at least four channels that’s decent, won’t break, and doesn’t cost too much” situation. The Behringer Microamp HA400 is a 4-channel output headphone amp with an extremely compact and simple design. It is smaller than a cell phone and can power four pairs of headphones. It is easy to use with a simplistic design and controls. This adaptability has cultivated a resourcefulness in most engineers that I've met, driven by the will to ultimately do whatever is needed to get a job done. Ali Staton (Seal, Madonna, Turin Brakes) exemplifies this in how he's managed to balance his life as a mix engineer with the work he does as Ableton programmer for artists like Madonna, Richard Ashcroft and Snow Patrol. "I did a record with George Ogilvie which started at Real World Studios, but then I had to be in the States with Snow Patrol and Ed Sheeran for nearly five months. That's when I started trying to mix on headphones, because I had to carry on working."
