Behringer MA400 Reviews

Very useful item to have in your case

I've got a few of these now (mostly the older silver version, although the only change appears to be the colour of the finish) They are a useful tool to keep with you for various 'get out of jail free' moments. I often use them to combine a click feed with a feed from the desk for a drummers in ear monitors, and have used them in rehearsal rooms for various monitoring purposes.

They feel very well made, and have a good variety of inputs etc.

The only slight drawback is that they tend to struggle to drive certain earphones / cans etc. Could do with a bit more oomph in the amp, but otherwise a great product, and certainly a very useful product for the money.

ma 400

Great peace of kit for the money, i'm a drummer and a lot of the time i need to use in ear monitors when playing with a click track, with the MA400 amp i link from an audio live player to a di box then to the desk and from the di box to the MA 400 plug in my in ear monitors and away i go, i have control over the volume and the sound is clear great for the money.

Great for studio and live use!

I use this little beauty in the studio and while gigging. I am a drummer so I need my headphones to be loud and this headphone amp delivers perfect results every time. Another superb product from Behringer!

Solid little headphone amp

I have purchased a few of these now and have been really impressed with the ease and quality from them. They have plenty of output and the extra input means that you can run an XLR in too - perfect for control of own vocals.

Great idea, but limited output

This is a great idea to get a quick wired IEM fix for a singer. I used it by tapping the singers microphone with this little box, and feeding it a stereo mix of the rest of the band from the console. Unfortunately, I find the headphone output is quite weak in comparison to similar products, otherwise this would be ideal for the live environment. I can imagine it would be fine in a studio situation (maybe not for drummers!).

Does its job

I got this headphone amp for recording purpose. If someone needs an own monitor mix, I can link this Behringer to the aux send of my mixing console and dial in the sound I need. Independent from the main mix.

The MA400 does its job well, connects to everything I need without problems, has a lot of power, no hum and the amount of hiss is tolerable. No device for hi-fi-gear-heads, but no crap either.

The housing is quite solid, the connectors are not screwed to the box, but rugged enough. You shouldn't step on it or park your car on it, but you neither have to handle it with special care. Also the pots feel solid and reliable.

The MA400 is good value for money. Give it a try!

very handy

Very useful device. We used 2 of them for our power trio for IEM with wires. Its super easy and I've used them in a few different situations. Also useful for Drummers taking a click track form a phone etc and mixing it with a return from the FOH. Also good to have on the floor for those gigs where you just don't get enough vocals in your monitors.

Very good

Very handy item. Just got one of these for our drummer and hes delighted! Wired into the desk, sit on the ground beside you, plug in your headphones and bingo! Mix heaven. And a brilliant price for what it does.

Another Behringer Rival

Over the past few years Behringer have been creating products at a fraction of the price to the consumer for the same rivalled quality. This is no exception - fair enough i'm using high quality in earphones but without this to get it to my ears i'd be stuck! It's a clever bit of equipment allowing you to essential mix yourself and let the sound engineer also give you a mix (and let's be honest....you probably want as much control as you can!). It's got a great volume, plenty of headroom and is quiet and does the job well in a noisy environment. Of course it won't push for studio quality sound, but then again, you don't need it in a live situation where you are simply looking to monitor yourself and monitor well. This is a great buy, a must to stick in your bag with a few leads and earphones.
