What type of headphone amps do you guys use while tracking? What I see for
sale are all in the form of 1 stereo input with X many outputs, with
individual output levels. Does anyone make a headphone amp with say four
channels, each with it's own input?

Thanks,
Sean

In this day and age, a headphone amp with one output and many inputs with
individual input levels is called a small mixer.

That's how a lot of the smaller Behringer Xenyx and Eurorack mixers are
used, for example.

Um, ok - but not what I was talking about. Individual inputs AND outputs,
like a mic preamp has.

If you mean what do I use to feed to the headphones that the players in
the studio wear, I use a plain ordinary power amplifier (a BGW, just
because I had an unused one) and I've built several breakout boxes with
a few isolated jacks on each to spread around the studio. Everybody gets
the same mix and they damn well better like it. g

I've seen lots of these. And often they'll have two inputs, one for a
main mix and one for "more me" or more something, or for reverb returns.
Behringer makes a functional one for $100 or less.

Presonus has a bunch of small blue boxes. I believe they make a small
4 channel headphone monitoring box in that series.

I think Rane and RDL both make the kind of thing you're looking for.

I use an old Hafler power amplifier run into a headphone distribution box,
personally. One mix for everyone.
