Millenium HA 4 Reviews

Loud and clear

I bought this headphone preamp for my recording studio, where I already have other preamps of several manufacturers.

I am very satisfied with the product because the sound is clear, no hiss or hum. Also, the preamp is surprisingly loud, compared to those of other companies, while the sound remains clean.

No complains that I can think of. I have used it for 4-5 years without a single problem. For the price, I don't think I could have made a better choice.

Live and studio use

I've got a few of these that I use onstage to feed click tracks to myself and my drummer.

I also use them in the studio to send monitor mixes to the players.

Audio quality is great, and there's more gain available than you'll ever need.

They're very well designed, the low profile and rubber end caps ensure they stay where you put them. I also have a few of the Behringer alternative, that aren't as well designed (I have to blu-tac them to surfaces and even then they tend to overturn). They both do the same job, but I'd buy the Millenium version every time, simply because if doesn't slide around.

There are very few features, just an input and 4 stereo outputs with volume knobs. I still gave it a 5 because it does what it's supposed to do.

Dodgy Inputs

The unit I received was temperamental when it came to the headphone inputs. The sound would cut out a lot of the time depending on how the 7mm adaptor plug was sitting in the inputs. I tried this with a number of different adaptors which all worked in other applications.

Other than this the sound is good and it does what it is supposed to.

Overall good for the price but it can be frustrating getting the inputs to work.

great value and it works

works very well with my Blackstar HT20 which needs an amp to be used with the line level output on the back panel, you will need a suitable mono to stereo jack to make both headphones work as the amps output is mono.

Perfect for small set up.

if you have a small setup you don't need really to buy expensive stuff one of these will do. Low noise enough gain for a good pair of headphones. bingo

Decent.

It does what it promises. And amplifies the input a good bit beyond the original signal, which is good for drummers.

Overall a good buy, especially when you take the price into consideration.

Works perfectly.

This amplifier and mixer is fine for close quarters recording situations, the limit for distance between musicians being the length of the cables on the headphones used. The sound is clean and there is plenty of gain on each channel to drive most headphones.

Comes with a two pin adaptor, so will need a passive socket converter to use in the UK.

great

I use it to send a submix during recording to different band members. No noise at all until 12 o'clock position, which is sufficient for our head sets. Also if I increase the submix level from the mixer, it does not amplify the noise. It is sturdy and good looking little device, very useful. I would buy it another 3 times if stolen.

Great Headphone Amp

I bought this headphone amp for my home studio to demo songs before recording them. This is a great little headphone and does exactly what it says on the tin. One stereo channel in and four channels out each with their own volume control. Their is plenty of gain in each channel also. I also use this to route a mix to 4 different sets of speaker when listening back which it also handles great. For the price of this unit you cant go wrong. It is a very well built unit that can stand some abuse and the rubber sides make sure it doesn't slide off of desks. I will be getting another one in the near future.

Sturdy

Well-built, was pleasantly surprised by the sturdyness and quality feeling - not at all "plastic-y". No complaints about the sound at all, and the volume knobs have a comfortable resistance which makes for quick but precise adjustments. If you don't need a rack mounted headphoneamp, get this one. The only thing I'm missing is an on/off switch.

Great piece of gear

Great price for such a super piece of equipment..does exactly what it says on the tin...handles 4 outputs superbly with no distortion or interference at all unlike cheaper headphone amplifiers in the same price range...A must have for every home studio in ear monitor set up

Got this to get easier headphone volume control for my tc-helicon play acoustic. I use it with akg k240 mkii phones and it works great! Lots of power. too bad that the power connection is on the back side. Small detail I know, but I would prefer it to be next to the jack connectors. Good price, good little product!

Very good and very affordable

You will not be disappointed here! Very well made and very affordable. You will not hear hiss or degraded sound from this. Perfect if you need an easy to carry around headphone amp and at this cost this is a no brainer! You cannot go wrong here if this is what you need.

For the price is a steal

Good price, a bit basic controls but it does the job it's supposed to do.

Would be nice to have a bit more gain, to have better plugs and to have some tone controls, but what a heck, for this price would ask way too much.

A useful tool for small studios.

Brilliant amp, does exactly what is required

I have my own home studio, although my mixer only had one output for headphones.

I required a headphone amplifier and this caught my eye.

It is very cheap and affordable, it allows for the input of four separate headphones.

This is exactly what I needed, there is no sound quality lost through the use of this amp

And each set of headphone's is given its own volume control.

The unit feels sturdy and reliable.

It comes with rubber on both sides which prevent the unit from moving around when placed on a hard surface.

Overall, for the price this amp is good. It does exactly what is required from it.

I highly recommend the purchase of this to anyone who is looking to start home recording with the idea of using more than one set of headphone's

Good headphone amp on a budget

Bought this to record a couple of songs for a project my friend was producing. Needed it as we were recording multiple tracks at the same time with mics. Very sturdy feeling unit and does what it is meant to do well with no extra frills.

Very useful pre-amp

Having multi-channels is a very useful feature and the sound quality is good. The plastic case protectors are a nice feature and the unit remains in place on smooth surfaces. Recommended

Excellent value

I bought this unit to use for working on song arrangements, rehearsing instrumental parts etc at my friend's apartment. It feels very well built with a sturdy metal enclosure. It has 4 headphone channels with individual volume controls for each. The volume knobs have a nice solid feel to them too. The rubber surrounds on the ends stop it moving about if you place it on a table or other raised surface. I'm no hi-fi expert but the sound quality seems very acceptable to me, it does the job we bought it for well and we are very happy with it so far.

To summarise I would say an excellent bit of kit and very good value for money

Where is the bass?

I'm not an audiophile, quite the contrary, I feel that whole industry is full of voodoo and placebo. Nevertheless, plugging my Beyer DT-700 or Audio-Technica AT-M50 into this amp makes it sound like there's an 12 db/octave hipass filter @80 hz compared to just plugging the phones directly into my RME interface. Useless for judging lows when mixing, which I need headphones for in my small home studio.

On the pro side this amp provides huge levels and is good for tracking! I like the ergonomics as well, it just makes me wonder what tech hurdles has to be overcome in order to accurately pass low frequencies!

solid

rubbers not holding well, can be lost easily , everything else worth the price.
