Professional recording quality, desktop-size amp with high-performance headphones.
This group monitoring kit bundles the PreSonus HP4 Discrete 4-Channel Headphone Amp with four pairs of Audio-Technica ATH-M2X Stereo Headphones.
HP4 Discrete 4-Channel Headphone Amp
The PreSonus HP4 Discrete 4-Channel Headphone Amp features 4 headphone outputs on the front panel, each with its own volume, and 150mW of amplification per channel extremely loud output with a low -98dB noise floor. It also allows control over control room monitors with a separate volume knob that can be muted using the Monitor Mute button. 1/3 rackspace. Accepts balanced/unbalanced inputs and outputs (1/4" TRS). Input can either be set to stereo or mono (the mono selector button on the front channel simply copies both inputs to both sides). Powered by an external wall-mounted supply.
The HP4 represents a tremendous value as echoed by this email received by PreSonus:
"To my amazement, your HP4 sounded as good as both of my hi-fi stereo heaphone amps. Very very clean and loud. I can't believe you put 150 mw per channel, @52 ohms, to four headphone outputs and offer such a quality unit for very little over $100." (M. Burke via email)
ATH-M2X Stereo Headphones The Audio-Technica ATH-M2X Stereo Headphones have high-performance 40mm drivers and an open-back design that delivers the wide-frequency response and extended dynamic range demanded by digital sources. Bass response is exceptionally smooth and full for a modestly priced headphone. The ATH-M2X has soft leatherette ear pads, adjustable headband, and light weight (4 oz.) for extended comfortable listening. Frequency response 20Hz to 20kHz, 11-1/2' cable with mini-plug (1/4" adapter included).
