ART MyMONITORII Headphone amplifier

The MYMonitorII allows blending of any microphone source with any stereo source in a convenient personal monitoring solution. The microphone thru provides direct connection to any mixer and will pass phantom power from the board for powering condenser microphones. Built for maximum flexibility, the ARTcessories MyMonitorII can be powered with the supplied 12vDC power supply, or from an internal 9v battery.

The pop-less microphone on/off switch lets you locally mute the microphone. The headphone section has independent 1/8-inch and ¼-inch TRS outputs with plenty of drive for both.

Overview

With Sennheiserʼs HDVD 800, sound is perfect. The HDVD 800 is able to connect with digital sources and is equipped with a high-quality Burr-Brown digital/analog converter (DAC) that converts digital audio data into analog signals with a resolution of 24 bits and a sampling rate of up to 192 kHz. This enables the HDVD 800 to transmit the entire frequency spectrum of high-end audio sources without any loss of frequencies.

In addition to the symmetrical inputs, the HDVD 800 also has an asymmetrical input socket; incoming signals are symmetrized before further processing takes place. Digital sources can be connected to the rear of the unit via an XLR (AES/EBU) input, optical and coaxial (S/PDIF) digital inputs or USB. All digital inputs accept signals up to 24 bit at 192 KHz*. Designed and manufactured in Germany, this high-end, solid-state amplifier harmonize perfectly and deliver an ultimate acoustic performance when paired with any of Sennheiserʼs audiophile headphones.

MyMONITOR - Personal Headphone Monitor Mixer Overview

Problem: A performer needs to hear him/herself through headphones exclusively or mixed
with the output of a mixer, CD player, tape deck, or other stereo line level source. Only the
mic signal, however, should be going to the main mixer.
Solution: Connect MyMONITOR between the mic and line source, and the mixer. The Mic
and line Monitor levels can then be adjusted for mix and volume through the headphones.
Only the mic signal will go to the board. And since MyMONITOR can be AC or battery powered,
the unit can be used on a large stage or wherever there is no AC outlet nearby. Dynamic or
condenser mics can be used since phantom power would come through the Mic Thru jack from
the mixer or other source.

The amPlug Night Train perfectly simulates the high-gain sound of the compact VOX Night Train tube amp. Just as with the actual Night Train head, you can switch between the two preamp sounds. The BRIGHT position boosts the high-frequency range; the THICK position offers a chunkier, heavier sound. The emulated speaker cabinet circuit accurately recreates the sound of the Night Train amp being played through the matching V112NT single 12" Night Train speaker cabinet. As a finishing touch, amPlug Night Train share some of the cool looks of its namesake amplifier.

The PHDA02 - a reference class headphone amplifier with Stereo, Mono, and Dual Mono operation modes.

In Stereo mode, the L/R input signal is fed to the left and right earphones while the volume level is set by the Stereo/Left control. The front panel inputs provide simultaneous connection of two headphones in parallel. In Mono mode, the left and right channels are summed, and the resulting mono signal is fed to both the left and right earphones. Again, volume is governed by the Stereo/Left control. In Dual Mono mode, the left and right channels can be used independently with individual level controls for the left and right earphones.

The PHDA02 operates with all headphones with an impedance of 8 up to 200 Ohms. Impedance matching is achieved by a specially designed switchable transformer. Uncommon and costly, this solution provides superior performance, dynamic range, and signal-to-noise ratio at all loads.

Combo input sockets allow for balanced XLR and unbalanced TS headphone connection while parallel XLR outputs facilitate daisy chaining multiple units. The integrated power supply operates with mains from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.

The PHDA02 is equipped with low-noise op amps, and the output amplifiers' discrete power transistors are mounted on heatsinks. Dimensions are 1 U 9.5“.
