Last time, we talked a little about reference and near field studio monitors.
Today, let’s chat with Marvin Caesar – President of Aphex Systems. You probably know Aphex as makers of the very popular model 230 Master Voice Channel.
The quality and versatility of the HeadPod is catching on. I had an opportunity to check out the early prototype HeadPod a while back. As soon as the production models were available, we started using them in our broadcast and post production studios. For studio, stage or even home audiophile use, the HeadPod is hard to beat for clean, responsive sound.
The HeadPod is a headphone amplifier and distribution box. Dressed in unassuming white and sporting ’230′ style discrete level controls, the HeadPod is compact, while having a solid feel (and ample shielding against noise) thanks to the thick metal cover and body.
Feed the HeadPod either a line or headphone level signal via a 1/4 inch connector. With 3 physical 1/4 inch inputs, you select either 1 stereo input or 2 discrete mono connections. The master level sets the overall input feed level, while 4 potentiometers allow you to fine-tune the output of each guest headphone.
Listen in as we talk with Marvin about the little amp with big sound…
