LD Systems HPA 6 4-stars Reviews

One of the best among the budget ones!

The LD HPA6 is not unlike the comparable ART or Samson or Behringer units (probably sourced from or manufactured by the same Chinese companies & plants) or the now discontinued excellent Alesis unit, but it has a somewhat better set of features, like the separate L/R earphone mute switches or the mono switch and actually informative level meters instead of poor sounding eq or weird "contour" controls etc.

The AUX input, for easy "more me" ego&performance enhancing headphone mixes is super useful, as is the presence of twin extra headphone outs for each channel on the back of the unit, meaning one can drive 3 sets of headphones from each of the 6 channels, for a total of 18 - and it actually CAN handle it, with no noticeable loss of level or power.

Sound quality is good and clean, but not spectacular (i.e. this is not a LittleLabs/R.Neve or SPL phones amp), build quality is good and clean although the pots seem a bit frail ... time will tell if they are rocker-proof!

Price/quality considered, it's a definite winner.
