  • Jackie has disappointed me once again

    I loved this product. I first bought it to split the output of my keyboard into a headset as well as the mixer. Then I discovered it would take the output of my laptop and produce a great sound out of my 200 amp speakers for watching movies. Then after only one year it quit working. This is the second Mackie electronic product that has failed in a relatively short period of time.

    The Mackie HM-4 is a wonderful headphone amp, perfect for tracking with multiple musicians. I bought one for a session I did with an acoustic guitarist where we were recording live vocals, acoustic guitar, and drum machine. The HM-4 worked perfectly, allowing us each to have our own individual headphone volume. I did not notice any coloration to the material we were monitoring and I hope to have my HM-4 for a very long time maybe forever.

  • Great product. Does it's job.

    This is a quick and easy way to distribute a single headphone signal to 4 musicians enabling individual volume control.

    Can I use this product to make the headphone out on a guitar amp sound better? Sometimes (usually) the sound through headphones is disappointing compared to the amp's sound through a proper cab, but I'd like to be able to play without waking up my neighbors… and without sacrificing too much sound quality.

    I was using a friend's HM-4 and it would only send a signal to one side of our headphones although all of us had working stereo headphone. We were using the output from a Focusrite Device. Can you advise we're weren't getting stereo sound?

    So I have the issue of recording with my band with headphones because when we use a splitter, it takes away so much clarity and volume that it's almost unbearable, will this solve that problem and power the headphones to get the clarity back? Or will it just boost volume.

    This will help with the volume and will help bring back clarity. The only issue you'd run into is when you start pushing the volume more than 3/4 of the way up, then you may end up with background hiss and noise.

    Can I connect 2 of these Mackie HM-4 headphone amplifiers to use 8 headphones if I run cable to each one from the 2 headphone jacks on my Focusrite 18i8 audio interface?
