Samson Q5 Headphone Amplifier

When you're putting together a studio you're going to have to deal with headphone amplification. You never know what group will walk through that door — maybe a 6-piece Mariachi group jamming with a string quartet and a couple of DJs...who knows?

What you know is that being prepared is 3/4 of the game. A lot of other engineers know it too: that's why the Q5 Headphone Amplifier is one of Samson's biggest selling products. The Q5 puts 5 stereo channels (each with a separate output gain) into a small half-rack package. It's big, crystal-clear sound with a small footprint. Voltage doubler circuitry maintains exceptional audio fidelity, even at higher output levels.

And the Q5 has a cool balanced stereo link output that allows several Q5s to be "daisy-chained" together — perfect for when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir drops in to cut their new Electronica CD.
