A selection of ARTcessories headphone amplifiers for home, studio, or stage use. Each one has it's own unique feature set with different input and output connection counts, and controllability.
MYMonitorII
Discontinued
ART MYMonitorII is a headphone amplifier that allows blending of a microphone source with a stereo source. The microphone thru provides direct connection to any mixer and will pass phantom power from the mixing console for powering condenser microphones. The ‘pop-less’ microphone on/off switch lets you locally mute the microphone, whilst the headphone section has independent 3.5mm and 6.35mm TRS jack outputs.
ARTcessories MyMonitorII can be powered with the supplied 12vDC power supply, or from an internal 9v battery.
Included accessories: 12V DC power adapter
Optional accessories: SM1 stand mount

ART HP-1 is a rugged, belt-worn, 2x AA battery cell-powered headphone amplifier designed as an in-ear or personal monitor solution. A ‘heavy-duty’, locking 6.35mm/XLR combination input connection is positioned at one end of the HP-1, whilst a rotary output volume control is positioned at the other end with associated 3.5mm jack headphone output. A belt clip is positioned on the long side of the headphone amplifier.
Included accessories: 2x AA alkaline batteries.
Input connections: Locking 6.35mm/XLR combo jack. Input impedance: 5kOhms. Maximum input level: +6.6dBu. Output connections: 3.5mm jack. Gain: +9dB. THD: Less than or equal to 0.02%, at 1kHz typical. Maximum output: 105mW, at 0.1% THD. Typical run time: 40hrs, alkaline batteries. Power requirements: 2x AA batteries. Dimensions (HxWxD): 137 × 43 x 40.6mm. Weight: 0.23kg
ART HeadTAP has been designed for instances whereby there isn’t enough room for floor monitors on the stage floor, or for when an additional performer can’t hear the monitors. HeadTAP is also a handy tool for the rehearsal room, negating the need for floor monitors.
HeadTAP is a passive device with an input to connect the PA or monitor amplifier, and an output to connect the headphones. A rotary volume control regulates the headphone level while internal resistors keep the unit’s impedance high enough to protect the headphones. The unit also protects the amplifier from encountering too low a load impedance while powering tap units, the speaker system or several tap units by themselves. HeadTAP will also work with a stereo headphone amplifier for use in recording situations when you want to add headphones for additional performers.
Input impedance: 100 ohms. Power amp loop: Paralleled 6.35mm stereo TRS jacks. Max power input: 20 - 50W maximum. Output: 2x 6.35mm stereo/mono headphone jacks. Controls: Headphone level, mono/stereo switch. Active or passive: Passive. Dimensions (HxWxD): 43 x 93 x 70mm. Weight: 4.6 kg.
ART HeadAmp4 has been designed for home or project studio. The ARTcessories headphone amplifier provides additional headphone outputs to any mixer, computer audio interface, workstation, iPod, media player or laptop without creating any additional load on the existing headphone source. HeadAmp4 offers 3.5mm and 6.35mm jack inputs and a total of four outputs, each with an independent volume control and option of 3.5mm or 6.35mm output jack.
Included accessories: 12V DC power adapter
Optional accessories: SM1 stand mount
Maximum input level: +14dBV. Input impedance: 90.9kohms. Maximum output level: +14dBu. Maximum gain: 20dB. Output impedance: 47 ohms, each output. Frequency response: 20 - 20 kHz. Signal to noise ratio: Greater than 90dB, ref 0dBu. THD: Less than 0.01%. IMD (SMPTE): 0.01%. Power requirement: 12V DC. Dimensions (HxWxD): 47 x 117 x 104mm. Weight: 0.61kg
ART HeadAmp6 PRO is a six-channel stereo headphone amplifier with six-channel auxiliary input section. Each output channel also has a dual function balance control which will pan between left and right sides of the main signal bus, or vary the mix between the main signal bus and the aux input for that respective channel.
Bass and treble controls are included on each output channel for fine-tuning the tone. Outputs include both front and rear panel stereo 6.35mm TRS jacks for ease of installation and quick patching capability. Two mono select buttons on each channel select between four operating modes which include stereo, mono left, mono right, mono left and right. The main outputs for each channel of the headphone amplifier are rear mounted 6.35mm stereo TRS jack sockets, and are wired in parallel with the corresponding output jacks on the front panel. Front panel, rear panel, or both front and rear panel outputs can be used simultaneously to drive headphones or be used as feeds to additional headphone amplifiers in a distributed audio network.
Input options include balanced 3-pin XLR and 6.35mm TRS jack inputs with matching ‘thru’ jack sockets for bridging multiple HeadAmp6Pro units. An additional front panel stereo 6.35mm TRS jack for quick patch override of the rear panel inputs is included for quick insertion of any stereo source. Eight-segment LED level indicators provide visual feedback of the signal level on all channels as well as the main signal bus.
Power requirements: 105-125 VAC AC 60 Hz. Maximum input level: +21.5dBu. Input impedance: 40k ohms, balanced. Maximum output level: 500mW at 32 ohms. Maximum gain: 25.6dB, with tone controls set flat. Frequency response: 20Hz - 50KHz +0, -2dB. CMMR: 40dB. Dimensions (HxWxD): 44.5 x 482 x 190mm. Weight: 3.1 kg.
