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

Product Information

If you’re an Apple user, you probably don’t need a headphone splitter to use two headphones on a Mac. macOS has a Multi-Output function that lets you simultaneously play audio through multiple outputs. Tchad agrees: "I prefer, even at moderate levels, the whole-body feel of the low end with my monitors." 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. They feature robust drivers, passive noise isolation, and even smartphone compatibility. This makes them an ultimate multi-use mixing headphone. The Listen Professional headphones are made with low distortion Mylar and titanium drivers, giving you world class audio with ease. One of the things that separate a good engineer from a great one is the quality of the headphone mix that he or she provides for their musicians. Do a session with one of the A-listers, and you’ll be surprised at just how much time is spent on the headphones, even if the musicians have the capability of setting their own mix up for themselves. Why? A happy musician or singer means a better performance. So, here are a number of things to consider when creating your next headphone mix, especially as it pertains to singers.

The sound quality of the Behringer Microamp HA400 was not the focus of this product’s function, but it is not bad. This amp’s increased audio signal quality is minimal but offers great value as an affordable splitter amp. If you are trying to power just one pair of headphones, this is not the product for you, as you can find alternatives more suited to using one pair of headphones that offer better performance.Michael Brauer sees headphones as a tool to help illuminate potential issues in a mix, like edits and excessive sibilance. Others agree, and there's also a consensus around the perception of effects. "I seem to hear my effects more with the headphones," Tchad says, "and I like the 'close' sound of headphones sometimes." What I appreciate as well is the balance knobs. Not everyone wants the same level on the master volume and this allows you to remove or add more of it while still independently controlling your own mic or instrument volume.

Much of the diverse career of David Bottrill (Peter Gabriel, Tool, Muse) has been spent in this nomadic lifestyle, leading him to believe that "You just tune yourself to your environment and the tools you have on hand. If a client has a deadline you just have to make it work."

Going for a cheap splitter usually means getting sub-par audio quality since most don’t have gold plating on the connectors or double-shielded cable. Both of these things are important to ensure electric signal conduction.
