The Behringer HA8000 is a value-laden, inexpensive, 8-channel headphone amplifier, featuring a pair of individual Main inputs. There are individual direct ins, meters, volume controls, and two headphone jacks for each of the 8 headphone output channels.
The direct inputs of the HA8000 are of particular interest; each of the 8 amplifier sections is able to receive a console headphone mix feed that is completely independent of the others. Additionally, each output channel provides a Mono monitoring switch, and a selector switch for monitoring program material from either of the two Main inputs. The detented level controls feel substantial and precise. The selector switches are equipped with color-coded LED illumination - a very useful feature for both studio and stage.
The HA8000 is a worthy solution for multi-user headphone monitoring amplification and distribution in the studio, or for live PA personal monitoring.
