Samson Launches New QH4 4-Channel Compact Desktop Headphone Amplifier

December 1 2016, 02:00
Samson Technologies announced the new QH4 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier, designed to distribute audio to up to four individual headphones, each with its own volume control making it perfect for tracking multiple performers in a studio, podcast recording or recreational music listening. Its compact design makes the amplifier ideal for use with any studio or desktop workstation, as well as with laptops or smartphones when recording on-the-go.
 

Samson’s QH4 includes stereo 1/4” inputs to connect with a mixing console or studio interface and a stereo 1/8” Aux In for playing music via smartphone or digital player. Individual headphone outputs allow users to connect up to four headphones, each with independent volume control over each channel and a Master volume control for overall level adjustments. Also included is a stereo 1/8” Aux Out for daisy chaining multiple QH4s together and a master Mute button for silencing all outputs.

The new headphone amplifier combines stereo channels using QH4’s key feature, the Mono button, before audio is outputted to headphones, allowing listeners to check for phase issues, mono compatibility or when monitoring tracks that are split left and right. The Mono button also allows users to take a split left and right feed from a stereo interview and send both tracks to each side of the headphones, an ideal feature for quickly monitoring a podcast or recording with split tracks.
