Integrating an HPA headphone amplifier into
the WMS 4000 system makes life a lot easier
for the FOH engineer. During the performance,
the audio output signals of each receiver can
be monitored directly, without having to bother with an extra mixer. This feature
proves an invaluable advantage, particularly if
the WMS 4000 system and the mixer are
located in different rooms, with the audio
connection as a potential error source. The HPA 4000 comes with eight jack inputs
and one jack output for headphones.
Channels can be routed to the headphone
output using a rotary control. A clearly visible
display indicates the currently active channel.
