OPERATION

External Input connection

10)For each of the headphone channels, connect the artist’s instrument direct out from your DAW or Mixer to the Stereo Ext. In connection on their respective channels.

(For Example: If a vocalist is on headphone channel 5, take the direct output of their vocals from your DAW or Mixer and connect it to the channel 5 Stereo Ext. In. Likewise, if a guitar player is on headphone channel 2, take the direct output of their guitar from your DAW or Mixer and connect it to the channel 2 Stereo Ext. In.)

Stereo Output Connection

11)If you have additional headphone amplification or monitoring systems or need a copy of your mixes for any reason, connect a stereo ¼” TRS plug to the Stereo Out connections of the mixes being copied and to the input of your additional system.

Headphone Connection

12) Connect headphones to the six Phones outputs on the front of your HP60.

Adjusting the HP60 for the “Optimum Listening Level”?

A common situation when setting up monitor mixes is when an artist’s headphones are turned all the way up and they still feel they don’t have enough level. If you turn up the Input A/B source, the other headphones will need to be turned down or remixed. So, what do you do?

By pre-setting the Input level to be loud enough at the “12 o’clock position” (step 7), you ensure if an artist needs more level, you will have plenty of room to compensate for their needs. This also gives you a good, generic point to which you can set an artist’s headphone level before learning their desired listening volume.

An alternate method is to set the HP60 to reach its maximum attainable volume. To do this, repeat steps 7-9 with the headphone level fully clockwise. Instead of paying attention to the volume of the headphones, turn the Input level up until just before the signal distorts. This means if an artist needs more volume, you can politely tell them you are already maxed out.
