Product Description
Tired of straining to hear the headphones? The HP4’s four 130 mW headphone outputs are clear, clean, and screaming loud, all packed in a compact, 1/3U chassis.

From the manufacturer
Crank Your Headphones to 12!
HP4: 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier
Now hear this!
Are you and your session players and bandmates tired of straining to hear underpowered headphones? We were too, so we created the HP4 headphone-distribution system. These headphone amps are louder than you’re ever likely to need for session and stage use, so be careful with that level control! Yet the sound is clear and clean, with a wide dynamic range. At last, everybody will be able to hear!
Simple and versatile.
Simplicity is the HP4’s hallmark. You get left and right line inputs, left and right line outputs with level control, and the four headphone outs. You can sum the stereo signals to mono, adjust the individual headphone levels, and mute the rear-panel Monitor outputs while leaving the headphone outputs active. So while the HP4 is simple to set up and use, it has all the features you need to create a versatile headphone system.
Compact and expandable.
The compact HP4 can sit on a tabletop or can be screw-mounted to a standard rack tray (not included), where it requires just 1/3 rackspace. And if your needs grow, you can use the line outputs to feed the inputs of a second HP4 or the larger HP60 headphone amplifier. So quit struggling with mediocre headphone amps. Get the HP4 and hear everything loud and clear. You owe it to your music.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I originally had the Behringer MicroAmp HA400. First of all, don't buy that. The power supply chirps VERY loudly, and the sound quality is eh. Put that $25 towards something like this instead.
Presonus makes quality stuff at a great price point for those still pretty early on in their gear collecting journey (such as myself). The HP4 looks nice, has a small footprint, sounds good, and most importantly is versatile and does its job perfectly.
This thing actually solved several of my problems:
-I had that stupid chirping HA400 that just needed to go asap.
-I have a hardware issue on my Focusrite interface involving both of the headphone jacks, so I needed something that would accept L/R input and allow me to run from the Scarlett's monitor outs instead until I can get that fixed.
-The power adapter is along the cord, rather than having a brick plug, which is SUPER helpful when it comes to tight real estate on the power strip. (Fewer bricks on the strip=more outlets you actually have access to).
I highly recommend this item for anyone working on a home studio setup.
I also use the HP4 for watching movies or listening to music (or playing video games) with friends when someone else in the room doesn't want to be bothered by the sound. It's great to be able to hand out headphones and let everyone listen at a volume that is comfortable for them.
A few more things:
- Durability is great. This has a metal case and can take some abuse, although I'd be careful with the knobs because they stick out pretty far.
- No sound (hiss, static, pops, etc.) when adjusting volume, unlike many other headphone amps.
- Separate left and right inputs, not a stereo plug, making this perfect for use with a mixer or audio interface.
Overall I'd highly recommend this to anyone who needs either more headphone channels or a nice-sounding amp to drive a pair of power-hungry higher-end headphones.
I use it with my iPOD Classis 80GB along with a FiiO L3 Line Out Dock (LOD) Cable and a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm Audio Coupler Female to Female. To connect to the XLR cable that comes with the Presonus to your iPOD or similar device will require a Hosa CYX402M Stereo Breakout 3.5mm TRS to Dual XLR Male 2 Meter cable which Amazon didn't carry but can be had from American Musical Supply. Expect nothing but the best from Presonus you won't be disappointed.

Les qualités s'arrêtent là malheureusement.
D'abord sur mon exemplaire le niveau sonore d'une sortie à l'autre, à réglage égal de potentiomètre, était différent. Je ne comprends même pas comment c'est possible. Mais passons.
Ensuite sur un boîtier à ce prix, ne pas avoir de bouton on/off?! Au lieu de ça, un minable interrupteur (type lampe de chevet) sur le câble d'alimentation...? Ça fait camelote. Et c'est tout sauf pratique. :-/
Mais le plus grave c'est que le son est coloré. L'appareil retire du haut medium, et privilégie un peu les graves. Je suis catégorique: cela a été détecté en A/B très soigneux, avec plusieurs personnes, après équilibrage des niveaux etc. J'avais lu des commentaires dans ce sens, mais sans l'avoir testé moi-même je n'y croyais pas trop. Malheureusement c'est avéré...
Bref appareil pas du tout pro, vendu au prix du pro.
Acheter du Presonus pour n'avoir pas mieux que du Behringer... pfff.
