Recording Studio Amp For Monitor Speakers

Great for recording combo guitar amp in my home studio.- Good audio quality.-

Clean sounding amp with excellent transient response and fidelity. I'm using it in my recording studio to run 4 - 12 3-way JBL studio monitors, and the sound is superb. The little automatic fan fires up occasionally when the temp rises, but the noise is minimal, and it only runs for a couple of minutes, then slows back down. Quality of build seems very good.

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.

We have a home recording studio and on ocassion we need to provide mix monitoring to more than the 2 headphone outs available on our audio interface. This little headphone amp is exactly what we needed. I was surprised by the quality and power of this little headphone amp.

I bought this mic to use for studio recording but tried it on my amp at a gig and that's where it stays now. The clarity is awesome! It is a little big and heavy but that's not a problem to me. Well worth the money for many applications!

Using these in a small recording studio. They are paired with an integrated amp and a Sony SAW-2500 subwoofer. They are dedicated to a Korg Kronos-88 syntheisizer and sound great. Only negative thing is they are 6 ohms impedance.This is awkward as most amps and receivers are 8 ohm. Would suggest that anyone considering these speakers also spring for the sub-woofer as well (it is also 6 ohms so no mismatch.........

I'm using the amp I'm three different racks in my studio.

I recently purchased the Kali Lone Pine Studio Monitor V2 speakers and I am blown away by their performance. The sound quality is crystal clear and the bass response is impressive. The compact size makes them perfect for my home studio, but they pack a punch that can easily fill a larger room. The build quality is top-notch and they look great on my desk. I highly recommend the Kali Lone Pine Studio Monitor V2 speakers to anyone in need of an upgrade to their studio setup.

I previously purchased the Hercules DJ Monitor 42 speakers and was quite impressed by their sound and quality. I wanted a little more power even though they are both 80 watts but the Hercules Monitor 5 has a separate amp in each speaker while the Monitor 42's have one amp supplying both speakers. They sound great, the bass rolls, the mids are excellent and the high's are clear. Much recommended for studios and what I use it for is my laptop to hear music and games.

Purchased this amp to drive a small set of monitor speakers. I wasn't sure it would have enough power for my application but the size caused me to give it a try. I'm very satisfied with the results. It's very clean and clear and generates very little heat, another great feature. ...
