Multiple headphone sets question.
I have an Apogee Quartet interface. It has 6 regular outputs and one headphone output. I need to connect a second set of headphones. Is it possible to do this and if so, how?

There are a few multiple output headphone amps. I think you'll be able to run something like the monitor out from the Apogee to the headphone amp.
Here's a cheap example: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/deta...FdNj7AodfEkAvw

The cheap, down and dirty method is to use a stereo y-cord. Not the best. Not sexy. Good for last minute and occasional use.

It would certainly be cheaper than the headphone amp option. Forgive my ignorance but that begs the question, what is the difference between a monitor output and a headphone output other than the stereo configuration? BTW - Thanks, Bob |

My idea was to acquire a stereo y-cord, two female jacks to one male jack. Plug that into the headphone output jack and plug your two headphones into that.

Thanks! That is an exchange in my favorite scene in the books that didn't make it into the movie, when Frodo meets the elves for the first time, in the hills above Woodhall on his way out of the Shire. The reply from Gildor, which is actually the point of the exchange, is,
"'Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill." I like to help others but am always cautious because it is easy to either mislead or bind them by laying upon them your own opinion. And then there is the fact that I tend to see both sides of any issue, even if I hold to one. It can be a recipe for for some pretty diluted advice... Bob

Hey Bob, you've been very helpful to me and it's much appreciated.
Way off topic here but have you seen "The Battle of the Five Armies"? While the deletion of Tom Bombadil and your Frodo Baggins quote among others from the movie scripts may be regrettable, running out of story before exhausting the battle scenes made this last instalment less than stellar for me. I'd like to hear your take. Trevor |

I hate being negative, but after I watched the first installment of The Hobbit I got those "jumped the shark" feelings and haven't seen the rest yet. I love the books - I have read them probably more than ten times at this point. I love the visualizations that live inside my mind from reading better than those created on the screen. Sad but true.
Bob

BTW - I settled on an ART 4 channel headphone amp. Takes both 1/4" and 1/8" jacks. Like it's cheaper Behringer counterpart, no on/off switch and the volume control doesn't really kick in until the halfway point but for my purposes it should get the job done. |
