Sonifex RB-HD1
Stereo Headphone Amplifier
The Sonifex RB-HD1 range of stereo headphone amplifiers accept balanced-line signals and provide one, two or six separate outputs to drive professional headphones.
All models are housed in red-anodised aluminium cases with apertures for fixing screws, they can be attached to any flat surface, or rack-mounted from the front with the standard front panels, or in reverse, with the rear panel facing out of the rack, using accessory panels.
RB-HD1 Headphone Amplifier – One Output
A rack-mounting stereo headphone amplifier for driving up to two pairs (in parallel) of professional stereo headphones from a single stereo or mono input. An additional mono input (for example, talkback) can be mixed into the main headphone feed. The level of the headphone outputs may be controlled by local or remote controls and the mono input can be switched on and off remotely.
The front panel has a power LED, a 6.35mm stereo headphone socket, and a volume control. This controls the level of the signal sent to both headphone sockets.
The main stereo input is from electronically balanced XLR-3 connectors on the rear panel, which can be wired un-balanced. Mono or stereo operation may be selected by an adjacent switch. The mono input is also an XLR, and has a screwdriver-operated local level control. A 6.35mm, A-gauge, stereo socket provides the second headphone outlet. It is connected in parallel with the connector on the front. A 9-pin D-sub connector provides access to the remote control ports; a switch selects local or remote operation. Power is connected to an IEC inlet. The red-anodised case has apertures for fixing screws to mount the unit to a flat surface, such as the underside of studio furniture.
Main inputs: +28dBu maximum, 20 kohms, balanced. Mono input: 20kohms, balanced. Output: 150mW into 32 to 600 ohm headphones. Volume control: -80dB to +11dB gain. Power source: 110-120V or 220-240V AC, 9W maximum. Dimensions: 1U, 108mm deep. Weight: 1.6kg.
Included accessories: Handbook, AC power cordset with plug.
Optional accessories: The RB=RK2 (1U) rear-panel kit allows the device to be rack-mounted in reverse. The RB-FR2 front-panel kit allows the device to be used without rack-mounting ears.
