Glensound Signature HA2+ Twin Stereo Headphone Amplifier

The Glensound Signature HA2+ is a 1U twin stereo headphone amplifier with one stereo programme input, two mono cue inputs, individual source mix and volume controls, 32-1000 ohm headphone support, and dual AC/DC power options.

The Glensound Signature HA2+ is a professional twin stereo headphone amplifier designed for broadcast studios, commentary positions, and production control rooms. The 1U rack-mount unit provides two independent headphone amplifiers with a stereo programme input on balanced XLR and two mono cue inputs on 6.35mm jack connections. The programme input can be configured for stereo or mono operation, and the front panel includes recessed left and right gain controls with a coarse gain range of 20dB.

The Glensound Signature HA2+ features individual source controls for each headphone output, allowing operators to adjust the mix between programme audio and cue input. Full left selects programme only, full right selects cue only, and intermediate positions provide a variable blend for flexible off-air, studio, or presenter monitoring. Each amplifier has its own volume control, while a master volume control adjusts both outputs together and can be disabled via a rear panel DIP switch. The output stage supports headphone impedances from 32 to 1000 ohms for compatibility with both low- and high-impedance headsets.

Both headphone outputs are available on front panel 6.35mm TRS sockets and in parallel on rear panel XLR connections for flexible installation. Audio performance includes frequency response of -2.0dB at 20Hz and -0.5dB at 20kHz, maximum output of +19dBu into 600 ohms and +8dBu into 32 ohms, distortion below 0.02% THD at 100Hz, and noise better than -83.3dB referenced to line-up level. Power is supplied from an internal 100-240VAC switch-mode supply or external ±12V DC via 4-pin XLR for redundant operation.
