Furman HR2 Headphone Amplifier

Furman HR 2 Headphone Remote Stations sometimes called satellites are passive devices intended for use with the Furman HA 6A HeadphoneMonitor Amplifier, to increase the number of headphone stations beyond the six provided, andor to locate them more conveniently. With the use of a simple adaptor, HR 2s may also be used successfully with any stereo power amplifier of 50 watts per channel or less to convert them to use as headphone distribution amplifiers. The Furman SP 20A Half Rack 20 Wattchannel Power Amplifier has the required adaptor built in. Each HR 2 box can accommodate two sets of headphones, each with its own volume control.

The musicians doing the overdub hear the already recorded tracks in their headphones, and play along with them. Because of the presence of open microphones, headphones are much preferred to speakers for cueing overdubs. In many situations, it may be sufficient to plug all headphones directly into an HA 6A or other headphone amp. However, in a larger studio, or when each musician must have easy access to his or her headphone volume control, it is more practical to use several HR 2 Remote Stations at strategic locations around the room. In this case, the HA 6A or the stereo power amplifier substituting for it would most likely be installed in the control room. The HR 2 Remote Stations connect in daisy chain fashion to the SPEAKER B SATELLITEREMOTE output on the rear panel of the HA 6A. This output is a male 3 pin XLR connector, so that ordinary microphone cables can be used. The HA 6A connects to the first HR 2 box; another mic cable connects the first HR 2 to the second HR 2; a third mic cable connects the second HR 2 to the third HR 2; and s
