Behringer HA6000 6-Channel Headphone Amp

The Behringer Powerplay HA6000 is a powerful, six-channel headphone amplifier for connecting up to twelve headphones. The six individual amplifier channels have independently adjustable volume, regardless of whether headphones with different impedances are connected. Each channel has two headphone outputs, and both outputs can be used simultaneously, allowing for a total of up to twelve headphones to be powered. The routing options are particularly impressive: in addition to the main signal, a second signal can be added to each channel via the AUX input. The Behringer HA6000 occupies one rack unit, while the power supply accepts voltages between 100V and 240V.

The Behringer Powerplay HA6000 can handle headphone monitoring in a recording studio or the in-ear setup for an entire live band. For level control, there's an LED meter for the main input and an LED meter for the output level of each channel. Behringer specifies a minimum headphone impedance of 8 ohms, so the HA6000 should be prepared for any situation. Each channel has its own tone control, allowing you to boost or cut bass below 80Hz and treble above 12kHz by 12dB. The AUX input allows you to quickly create a "More Me Mix," combining the playback and solo signals. The balance control then allows the musicians to adjust the volume ratio between these two signals themselves. Since the input signal of the main input is looped through to the main output, multiple Behringer HA6000 units can be connected to form a multi-channel monitoring setup.

The Behringer HA6000 can be used in a variety of settings, from band rehearsal rooms to professional broadcast studios, because the requirement is usually the same: to deliver a clean and sufficiently loud monitoring signal, regardless of how many or what type of headphones are connected – and the HA6000 reliably fulfills this task. The HA6000 features dual inputs and outputs, one on the front panel and one on the rear. This is extremely helpful if you want to permanently install the headphone amplifier in a studio or live sound rack. Some singers and many DJs prefer to monitor with one side of the headphones – for this, the HA6000 offers individually switchable mono operation for each channel, allowing you to select whether you want to monitor the left, right, or a summed mono signal.
