Swissonic Quadphone 5-stars Reviews

awesome for outdoor headphones projections

I use this to watch films on the terrace in the summer days, and it does exactly what it should!

Excellent product

Using a USB interface with one headphone socket meant it was awkward to work with other people in the room - this little box was just the thing we needed and everyone can set their own level

excelente producto

cubre todas las expectativas acorde a su precio, sonido de calidad, muy practico a la hora de movilizarte, facil de usar.

best bang for the buck

I'm using it in a home studio on my desktop for monitoring through different headphones.

The way it sounds is great and after taking a look inside to see how it's build, it is very well designed.

for pro's it just does what it needs to and is very sturdy.

The only negative I'd give it the lack of a on and of switch. But I just made an extension cable for the power supply with a switch built in, so it's not really a negative if you can work a soldering iron.

Cheap and good !

Really cheap and small, that can drive simultaneously four headphones at individual level. Not very much hum or any noise until the output pot. is not maxxed (actually carrefully to not overload the input) but this is a rule of thumb. Compared to Behringer HA400 this unit has a slighty more output. A very important thing is the otput impedance on each channel wich is only 10 Ohm, and thats mean you can use any type of headphones (16 Ohm to 64 Ohm or more) without sacrifice tonal response ( bass loosing or distortion).

Does the job well for the money

Well-built package, stable volume control, standard +12VDC power supply (500mA) with a pretty common coaxial (5.5mm OD, 2.1mm ID, 10mm depth, likely IEC 60130-10 Type A; 2.5mm ID seems to fit too) barrel connector, and although the sound isn't comparable with the best, it's not terrible either. With my 62 ohm AKG K-701 I still use only lower volume levels, so the saturation at high volume isn't concerning me too much, and the sound is clear enough (better than most PCs/laptops I tried).

Even after a year of use I wouldn't change much about it, for home use it's definitely worth the money! My only caveats are with the potentiometers:

- the handles could use some rougher edges, so your fingers can grip them easier

- the more you use them the smoother they become; it's a good idea to use all ports to wear the inside of the potentiometers equally

After a year of 3-4 times/week use, the play in them is minimal (sub-1mm) and when used across the range (I turn them down when unplugging) they still feel quite precise.

Tip: if you want to use the 6.3 mm jack input, make sure you have a stereo cable - most 6.3 mm cables on the market are mono only (for connecting guitars to their amplifiers), so you will only hear one channel.
