Extra Corner Behind Recording Studio

recording studio

It's been a few years since being in need of a new headphone amp. I've owned an older version of a Rolls headphone amp and I really liked it for my professional recording studio... so much so that I bought 4 of them for all my sound rooms. It's been several years since I left the recording industry but over the last year I've been podcasting with some friends of mine and I'm getting my new (tiny) home studio up while upgrading equipment when I have the extra cash to do so. I ran across this beauty that has everything I need, plus more! This is a major step up from the ones I owned in the early 90's. The biggest plus and difference is being able to use other 1/4 or 1/8 jack on the front. It saves me from making sure I have the correct adapter if someone brings his or her own headphones or earbuds. It also has the LINK/JOIN capability of which I have used on previous models and comes in super handy if daisy chaining more than one box together. Works in either mono or stereo. You can't pan but that's not really the purpose for which this was designed. If you need more individual control as opposed to a stereo or mono headphone signal, I'd suggest buying a small 4 channel mixer. It's quiet and discrete, I don't hear any extra added component hum or buzz even when linking two or more boxes. It's not having to drive a bunch of wattage so the unit itself doesn't radiate any measurable heat to the touch. My signal chain: I have my Soundcraft Signature 12MTK headphone out (stereo) TRS 1/4 to 1/4 split L/R into the headphone amp. I drive the Soundcraft headphone out gain about three-quarters to full. The headphone amp takes care of the rest of the gain. No hesitation in purchasing another one of these. No hesitation in recommending this headphone amp to others. I've owned other and less expensive headphone amps but none of them have all the functionality and solid workhorse longevity as the Roll RA53B.

If your needs are anything less than a professional recording studio, these are the headphones for you.

A must have for on site and in studio video recording.

used for TV studio recording

This Cable has fulfilled my needs in my home recording studio.

First one I've ever purchased. It does what I want it to do. I use it in my recording studio.

Nice addition to my Mac for studio recording.

Created and released for those individuals who currently do not have their own studio... or even a decent corner to simply produce photographs, in a dignified way. Assembly was swift, and this product gets the job done. Although handlers at FedEx may have taken their anger out and/lack of concern on/for the package, the contents of the package were still OK. !![[B&H may want to get their money back from FedEx, since the delivery was waaayyyyyy over 1-day]]!!

Great for studio recording, sturdy, well-made, and stable
