2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
The AMP800 is a headphone amplifier that includes 4 Headphone Channels, so you can share the
AMP800 with other musicians. In addition, each musician can choose between 2 audio channels: Input Channel A and Input Channel B.
Ensure that only qualified personnel set up and operate the AMP800.
2.1 Front panel
This section describes how to use the front panel of the AMP800, illustrated as follows:
Fig. 2.1: AMP800 front panel
In the previous illustration, each control element is associated with a callout, for example . In this section, use these callouts to identify details about each control element.
For each Input Channel (A and B), the front panel includes control elements and . To manage the signal in each of these Input Channels, use these control elements:
LEVEL control: To adjust the input level of a signal, turn this control toward 0 (minimum level) or, alternatively 6 (maximum level).
MINIAMP AMP800
BALANCE control: To adjust the stereo image of a signal, turn this control toward L (left) or, alternatively R (right).
A + B meter: To monitor the combined level of both signals (A and B), use this meter. An LED glows next to the value that identifies the combined level (-24dB to 0 dB). If the signal is too strong, the CLIP LED glows. Most of the time, the optimal level is 0 dB (a full signal).
For each Headphone Channel (1, 2, 3, and 4), the front panel includes control elements through
. To manage each Headphone Channel, use these control elements:
(headphone) connector: To connect a headphone, use this stereo, ¼' TRS connector. For details about TRS plugs, see 4. AUDIO CONNECTIONS.
INPUT button: To select an Input Channel, push this button. When you listen to:
Input Channel A, this button is not pushed in and not lit Input Channel B, this button is pushed in and lit
PHONES LEVEL control: To adjust the level of a headphone signal, turn this control toward 0 (minimum volume) or, alternatively 6 (maximum volume).
CH meter: To monitor the level of a headphone signal, use this meter. An LED glows next to the value that identifies the headphone volume (-24dB to 0 dB). If the signal is too strong, the CLIP LED glows. Most of the time, the optimal volume is 0 dB (a full signal).
(power) button: To turn the AMP800 on and off, push this button. When you turn the AMP800: on, this button is pushed in and lit
off, this button is not pushed in and not lit
When you finish using the AMP800, unplug the power supply unit from the power source. As long as the power supply unit is connected to a power source, the power supply unit consumes energy.
2.2 Rear panel
This section describes how to use the rear panel to set up the AMP800.
The following illustrates the rear panel of the AMP800:
Fig. 2.2: AMP800 rear panel
In the previous illustration, each control element is associated with a callout, for example . In this section, use these callouts to identify details about each control element:
POWER connector: To power the AMP800, connect the power supply unit to this connector.
This power supply unit is delivered with the AMP800.
PHONES OUT connectors: For each Headphone Channel (1, 2, 3, and 4), the rear panel includes an additional headphone connector, which is a stereo, ¼' TRS connector.
MINIAMP AMP800
LINK OUT A connectors: If you need more than the 4 Headphone Channels that a single
AMP800 provides, connect these balanced, ¼' TRS connectors (Left and Right) to the inputs of another AMP800. The LINK OUT A connectors send only the signal of Input Channel A, without any LEVEL or BALANCE settings.
INPUT connectors: For each Input Channel (A and B), the rear panel includes 2 balanced, ¼' TRS connectors (Left and Right). Connect them to the outputs of a mixer, a CD player, or a soundcard. For mono signals, use only the L connector.
If the output is balanced and you insert unbalanced, ¼' TS plugs in the INPUT connectors, the signal level will decrease 6 dB. To raise the signal level, use the relevant LEVEL control ( ).
SERIAL NUMBER: To register the AMP800, use this unique serial number. For details about TS and TRS plugs, see 4. AUDIO CONNECTIONS.

Excellent customer service!
Even though I changed my mind and returned the product, I was given a hassle free refund!

This is a very over priced underpowered amp for home use
I bought this thing from best buy yesterday, it is the only heaphone amp i could find in town. I went to Sears, Target, Radio Shack, and even wal mart too. Nothing. I took this baby home and i tried to love it so much. You can tell by the inputs that this is more for stage and studio use, for home use its pretty crappy. :( First thing I did was a quick headphone out test from my iPhone to it on my Senn PC 350's. It did make the sound louder, that was for certain. But it added NO extra power. As far as im concerned the iPhone's output to my senn's were good enough to not worry about ever using this again. And yes, my senns through the iPhone sound like CRAP. Now to test it on my TV, which has no headphone output. After I got back from vomiting I hooked the tv's rca audio outs to my av receiver and used its headphone jack, which is a great headphone amp by the way. With this amp my tv sounded distorted at loud parts, I was testing it with COD black ops and a bassy ninja gaiden 2 demo which apparently I still had. CoD was ok through this thing, and audio porn on my own receiver. Ninja Gaiden was nothing but distorted bass the whole time, but again on my receiver pure audio heaven. At first I took my Senn's off to make sure I wasn't hearing my loudspeakers. I wasn't. And I fiddled with the gain and volume controls for quite a bit, the only way to get it loud enough to even hear would also distort the sound a LOT. I took it back to best buy within 4 hours and got less than full refund, stupid restocking fees!!!! One thing i did notice, and gave it an extra star for, was that with my iphone paused if I turned the gain and volume to the max it was pure silence. No hiss, no crackle, and no buzzing. I live in a fairly old house with bad wiring, i hear noise in my audio a lot from this. But the Behr picked none of it up. Would i recommend this product? Yes, but only to musicians, and maybe video gamers using the turtle beach xlc's. This thing is REALLY good for splitting a headphone signal and giving 4 people separate volume controls. I thought about keeping this thing and buying a few more turtle beach xlc headsets, the cheap ones (lol) and that way me and my roomate could both use them and have our own volume control. But in the end I said the hell with him. I wanted this thing to push my Senn's better than my 24/96 soundblaster usb soundcard on my laptop when I played wow, and this just wont. And no that soundcard isnt good for good headphones. regular ones yes, but my iphone can push the Senn's better.

Works Great lacks cables
We assumed this item would come with cables because they are a little odd (1/4 inch). The correct looking cable available at Radio shack was not correct (Y for two headphones and one source) would not give stereo using it for input to amp. Ended up purchasing Radio Shack 1/4 inch stereo phono to individual RCA outputs and using adaptors. Not a real problem but there will be those who purchase the Radio Shack Y (has right sized jacks) but doesn't give stereo output.

Quality Behringer product from a quality seller!
The quality of Behringer speaks for itself, the pricing, shipping nad honesty of the sale speak for the seller. I am thrilled with the product and the smooth transaction with the seller made it a pleasure.

Great cheap solution
This is a great solution for whiny performers who want to hear what's going on. Or to create a mini-distro network for multiple people to hear the same audio coming out of a SRE Board

I just bought it today but be warned..
I just purchased this item today. That's why I could only give it 4 stars. I am satisfied with it so far. I'm using it to amplify my Roland Keyboard to get more sound out of my headphones. As many of you know, the Behringer brand is not synonymous with quality. I've talked to several music store people about this and most of them have the same opinion. However, there's something to be said for getting a less expensive product if you don't mind sacrificing quality. If you buy this item 'BE WARNED'. It specifically says in the user's manual. 'When you finish using the AMP800, unplug the power supply unit from the power source. As long as the power supply unit is connected to a power source, the power supply unit consumes energy.' That's probably why Behringer's products tend to 'burn out' as some people have said because they leave these items plugged up when not using them. Unplug it when you are not using it. It's obviously not like most small electronics that we're used to just pushing the off switch when we're done using them. Or, do what I did and plug it into a power strip so that you can switch it off instead of having to reach behind the unit and unplug it every time. It's not for professional use in my opinion but as another reviewer said it gets the job done.
Alexey
Decent for the price.
Generally, this thing is a bit noisy, but bearable for maybe a home theater system or something like that where you sit farther away from the speakers. The mixer's main volume has some extra gain to it, and going past halfway causes a lot of extra noise. This mixer seemed to interact with my sound card and cause ground loops, which it weird because my soundcard isn't even direct plugged into an outlet. Anyways, I ended up returning mine and upgrading to the Samson matrix mixer. We'll see how that goes.
