Furman HDS6 Headphone Monitoring System

FURMAN HDS6 Details

The Furman HDS-6 Audio Distribution Amp offers a great-sounding, cost effective, and flexible way to provide custom mixes for up to 16 people in recording and live sound environments. The combination of unique functions adds unprecedented functionality and convenience to any multiple-user audio application.

Features
Every performer in a studio or live sound setting can have a personalized mix without any adjustments at the board.
Perfect for use as a headphone system in the studio, plus drives powered monitors in live sound applications.
HDS-6 rackmount audio distribution system connects to the mixer/console to provide interface and power supplies to drive a group of HR-6 remote mixers.
HDS-6 to HR-6 linking cables are included with the HR-6, as is a universal mic stand clamp.
Provides gain trims and overload LEDs for each input, ground lift, and on/off switch, and system status LEDs.

The system consists of 2 components: the rackmount HDS-6 Audio Distribution System, and one or more HR-6 remote mixers (please note that the HR-6 remote mixers are sold separately). Linking the distribution unit and remote mixers is as easy as plugging in cables — multiple HR-6s are simply daisy-chained together. A pair of 25 ft. linking cables is included with each HR-6, and other lengths are easily obtained at your local computer store or through mail order. For applications where daisy chaining is not practical, a 12-port or larger ethernet patch panel can be wired to allow multiple HR-6 units to connect from a central location. Up to 8 HR-6 remote mixers can be linked to an HDS-6, and 2 pairs of headphones may be plugged into each HR-6.

The HDS-6 rackmount distribution system connects to the mixer/console to provide interface and power supplies to drive a group of HR-6 remote mixers. Trimpots are provided on the HDS-6's front panel to match the console output levels to the HDS-6's inputs.

The HDS-6 is ideal as a low distortion headphone driver for the most critical listening situations. In addition to providing high current differential buffered signals, it also provides power and ground to the HR-6 remote mixers.
