Behringer MA400 5-stars Reviews

A bit flimsy, but does the job

The build quality is a bit flimsy, but the sound is pretty good for the price.

Extremely useful

A great little headphone amp, with tons of useful features. Highly recommended This is my second one. (Not because there was anything wrong with the first, I just needed another). It's used in a small studio setting). As others have mentioned, it doesn't really work all that well if you for instance plug your microphone directly into it, you need a preamp in between.

Perfect for monitoring

Low noise, good power. No complains.

Perfectly works

Easy way to hear better what mic is taking.

Very useful mixer

I like this tiny personal mixer. It allows to have a good monitoring mix on stage. The only feature I miss is the belt clip.

Cheap & durable

Use this for visitors in a home for the elderly. Visitor speaks in a mic and inhabitant listens through a closed headphone. Only device that allows this for this price. Decent sound quality but headphone amp isn't very strong.

Great for pedalboards

I use this headphone amp on my pedalboard so i can practice around my house without having to drag my amp or my interface with me. It works like a charm but since the signal coming from the pedals is quite weak and i had some space available on my pedalboard, i put an old ART Tube MP that i had laying around between the pedals and the amp. Now my pedalboard sounds amazing by itself.

My signal chain is:

Bass > Zoom MS60B > EHX Deluxe Bass Big Muff > Booster/EQ > Boss DD3 > TC Electronic Hall Of Fame > ART Tube MP > Behringer MA400 > Beyerdynamic DT-770 PRO

(It's a weird set of pedals and a even weirder placement, but that's how i like it =D)

Expected more output

I didn't made any measurements but for example you have a set of Behringer drums as the XD80USB which have a low headphone output and are expecting this amp to use the monitor input connected to line outs in order to get a better level, forget about it. There is not enough gain. Output power is reasonable with sensitive headphones, I used German Maestro GMP8.35 Monitor.

Does what expected

It's a sturdy metal thing that does exactly what it's supposed to. And it does a good job too.

My only little complaint is that the bottom surface is lacking any rubber feet and the unit is a bit slippery. I solved it by buying adhesive rubber feet for 0.6$ and now it's purrfect

Excellent

I have 3 of them, very handy, and great sound.

solid and do what is expected

good quality, nothing to complain about. solid and load.

Very small and useful stuff

You can mix a stereo and a mono signal with this box for your headphones.

The quality is fairly good, the sound as well.

Good thing that you can plug the monitor signal into the mic input (you should moderate the level to avoid distortion).

It can be useful for drummers, or for vocalists.

If you have phantom power on your mixer or audio interface, you can use condenser microphones as well although the equipment doesn't have own phantom power.

The only complaint is about the power because it won't be loud enough with headphones which have a high impedance.

Great addition to our studio.

Allows the vocalist to set their own headphone balance which in turn helps them perform at their best.

VERY GOOD

Really good, compact headphone amplifier. It has jack and XLR input and also one XLR output which is perfect for stages as you can use it as monitor and continue the line into the next one without any problem. I use it as in-ear monitor + metronome. Yes you can have 2 things in at once which is pretty cool for me. You also have jack and aux output for headphones. You can also change output signal to MONO or STEREO which help's me a lot with metronome because it has mono output. There is actually no bad things about this amplifier. It is very compact so you can store it anywhere you want. It a must-have for every drummer who hits the drums hard ;) .

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.

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.

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.
