HMX-56 Features
Front Panel
All six headphone amplifiers share the same features:
• Four sources plus L/R main input for each channel
• Effects return for each channel
• Individual front panel level controls
• Rear panel phone outputs for each channel
• Balanced inputs
1. SOURCE A-D Level Controls
These controls adjust the source signal levels coming
into the SOURCE INPUT [13] jacks on the rear panel.
2. EFFECTS RETURN Level Control
This control adjusts the effects return signal level
coming into the Left and Right EFFECTS RETURN [12]
jacks on the rear panel.
3. PHONES LEVEL Control
This adjusts the volume for each individual
headphone output [14].
4. EFFECTS SEND A-D
These controls adjust the signal level being sent to
the EFFECTS SEND [11] jack on the rear panel for
each source input.
5. L/R MIX EFFECTS SEND
This adjusts the Left and Right MAIN INPUT [10] signal
level being sent to the EFFECTS SEND [11] jack on the
rear panel. The left and right main mix signals are summed
together and sent to the mono effects send output.
6. POWER LED
This lights up when the HMX-56 power switch [9] is
turned on.
7. INSTRUMENT LABELS
Your HMX-56 came with a set of nine magnetic
labels that you can place adjacent to the SOURCE level
controls to indicate which instruments are connected to
the SOURCE INPUTS [13].
