Famed designer Paul Wolff has a brand new, all-analog headphone system that’s expandable to accommodate any variety of musicians with their very own, private 12-channel headphone mixer. This system has eight mono channels, and two stereo channels organized in a familiar-looking audio mixer format measuring solely 13-inches broad. It requires no directions or talent to make use of and MeMore can sit on a desktop or use its threaded mount to connect it atop any microphone stand.

It is powered by an included exterior energy provide related by a 5-pin XLR connector; MeMore’s wonderful audio constancy that’ll drive any impedance headphones louder than loud together with my energy hungry Audeze LCD-X Planar Magnetic pair.

All analog line degree audio is available in through db25 (d-subs) connectors. Each mono channel has its personal Level management, Pan Pot and T-Q (Wolff Audio’s model of a Tilt-like EQ)—a single tone management knob. Increasing brightness lowers the bass on the identical time and if the sound is just too vibrant, flip the T-Q management CCW takes down the highs and brings up the bass. These are light, “touch-up” EQs with middle (flat) detents.

Channels 9/10 and 11/12 are stereo enter channels that use each d-subs and rear panel XLR inputs; 11/12 has 1/4-inch TRS inputs as nicely. These stereo channels even have a single quantity management, Pan/Balance, and T-Q management.

MeMore’s different options embrace: a built-in Talkback mic with its personal (2:1 ratio) compressor and its personal separate XLR output jack and lighted push button with a hands-free 1/4-inch footswitch jack. When MeMore models are linked collectively, talkback audio is mechanically routed to all of them and may also function a “hear me” feed blended into the headphones.

All db25 sockets are “multed” or copied on the rear panel in addition to on the underside of the MeMore for comfort. In addition, there are two extra db25 connectors for linking practically limitless MeMore models collectively with out lack of constancy.

In a stay monitoring session, you might have a stereo monitor combine going to Channel 9/10 after which every participant might modify the extent of himself utilizing the person monitor quantity controls for his or her explicit instrument or vocal monitor.

Channel 11/12 might play a very completely different stereo combine on the identical time comparable to for a drummer with click on monitor, an orchestra conductor or for any stereo supply that you simply want particular person management over. The potentialities are practically limitless particularly for commercials or post-production work the place simplicity and pace are crucial.

Soon there will likely be a Direct Digital interface that runs at 96kHz with solely 2 SAMPLES of latency (measured at 48kHz). This interface would reside within the management room and current Dante or Cat-5 cabling could possibly be repurposed. MeMore Headphone Systems begin at $1,299 MSRP.
