INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Fur- man Sound HA-6AB. You have chosen the most versatile headphone amplifi er available. The HA-6AB is a unique combination of a headphone amplifi er and a conventional power amplifi er, which can save the expense of an extra power amplifi er in many situations. Its high power capacity provides adequate head- phone listening levels without distortion in any environment. Additionally, the HA-6AB’s toroidal transformer assures noise-free performance. It eliminates electrical hum and mechanical noise from the unit itself, as well as leakage into other sensitive equipment, such as mic preamplifi ers, video monitors, etc. The HA-6AB is designed for recording studios, rehearsal studios, lan- guage labs, and for use in demonstrations of audio tracks or audio equipment.

When used for overdubbing or rehearsal, this provides more than adequate volume in all headphones (even low- impedance models), and allows each musician to set his or her own listening level. When overdub- bing is complete and the musicians remove their headphones, the HA-6AB can power the tape playback through a set of studio monitor speak-
