LiteHeaded And HeadMaster Headphone Amplifiers

Digital Audio and Computer Systems Ltd (DACS) is introducing LiteHeaded and HeadMaster, two distinctly different headphone amplifier products, at this year's AES Convention in New York.

LiteHeaded is a simple, low cost amplifier specifically designed for use in recording studios. Featuring two rear inputs (A and B), the unit has six rear headphone outputs that are mirrored by six front-mounted headphone outputs, each with its own volume control.

Despite its low price tag, LiteHeaded offers high price tag quality and functionality by incorporating conductive plastic pots, low noise high output ICs and a Source switch that can be set to two positions. In the OUT position, all six amplifiers are stereo AB, while the IN position gives engineers and producers the option of splitting the amplifiers between three A mono (1-3) and three B mono (4-6).

Recording, mastering and mixing engineers will appreciate the range of features offered by HeadMaster, a high-quality amplifier that delivers superb sound and exceptional clarity and detail.

Designed for critical listening from a variety of analogue and digital sources, HeadMaster offers AES (Gold XLR) and SPDIF (Gold Phono) digital inputs and balanced (Gold XLR, THAT InGenius™ input stage) and unbalanced (Gold Phono) analogue inputs. These can be easily selected via switches mounted on the front panel.

HeadMaster's outputs include two headphone amplifiers on the front panel with headphone out and volume control with conductive plastic pots. The rear panel features a fixed level balanced analogue output of the D-A input, with FSD at +18dBu.

Both LiteHeaded and HeadMaster will be on show at the AES in New York in pre-production format, alongside the new HeadLite 2 headphone amplifier.
