Furman HDS6/HR6 Headphone Distribution System, Main
Deliver personal mixes to up 16 people with this flexible and affordable headphone distribution system.

The Furman HDS-6/HR-6 Audio Distribution System offers a great-sounding, cost effective, and flexible way to provide custom mixes for up to 16 people in recording and live sound environments. The combination of unique functions adds unprecedented functionality and convenience to any multiple-user audio application.

Features
Every performer in a studio or live sound setting can have a personalized mix without any adjustments at the board.

Perfect for use as a headphone system in the studio, plus drives powered monitors in live sound applications.

HDS-6 rackmount audio distribution system connects to the mixer/console to provide interface and power supplies to drive a group of HR-6 remote mixers.

HDS-6 to HR-6 linking cables are included with the HR-6, as is a universal mic stand clamp.

Provides gain trims and overload LEDs for each input, ground lift, and on/off switch, and system status LEDs.

The system consists of 2 components: the rackmount HDS-6 Audio Distribution System, and one or more HR-6 remote mixers (please note that the HR-6 remote mixers are sold separately). Linking the distribution unit and remote mixers is as easy as plugging in cables - multiple HR-6s are simply daisy-chained together. A pair of 25 ft. linking cables is included with each HR-6, and other lengths are easily obtained at your local computer store or through mail order. For applications where daisy chaining is not practical, a 12-port or larger ethernet patch panel can be wired to allow multiple… read more HR-6 units to connect from a central location. Up to 8 HR-6 remote mixers can be linked to an HDS-6, and 2 pairs of headphones may be plugged into each HR-6.

The HDS-6 rackmount distribution system connects to the mixer/console to provide interface and power supplies to drive a group of HR-6 remote mixers. Trimpots are provided on the HDS-6's front panel to match the console output levels to the HDS-6's inputs.

The HDS-6 is ideal as a low distortion headphone driver for the most critical listening situations. In addition to providing high current differential buffered signals, it also provides power and ground to the HR-6 remote mixers.

The HDS-6/HR-6 Audio Distribution System and HR-6 Remote Mixer are designed for high-end audio applications, yet are affordable enough for home studios and general live sound applications. read less

This should last a good while - fits our needs
Sound
Very good sound - used with an in-ear set. Easy to operate.
Features
Individual volume controls, both at the transmitter and the receiver give great flexibility. Mic stand clip for receiver is nice.
Ease of Use
Does require 2 ethernet cables (2 25ft ones included). Reciever end does NOT require a power cord - I assume that is what the second ethernet cable is for. Controls are reasonable sized and spaced.
Quality
Solidly built, good controls. All steel construction.
Value
Great value, especially in the combo transmit/receive kit, as long a 4 mono and one stereo channel is sufficient.
Manufacturer Support
Not needed
The Wow Factor
Must have for in ear mixing - technically sexy but not esthetically so.

Musical Background:

12 years mixing church and small groups
