Behringer MA400

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 ;) .

I bought this hoping to amplify my headphones instead of having to adjust the volume on my amp when I practiced later in the evening.
This unit did absolutely nothing to amplify the signal: whatever goes into the unit comes out of the unit at the exact same level, with no perceivable amplification taking place whatsoever.
The unit has great build quality and it's cool that it has several input and output options, but it doesn't actually amplify anything.

Thankfully it's not an expensive product, so I couldn't get too upset about it not working correctly. I like to think that I simply "got a dud" but if this product works "as intended" then I'd recommend to stay away from this Headphone "Non-Amplifier" and get something else.

Such a disappointment for such a promising product.

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)

Over the past few years Behringer have been creating products at a fraction of the price to the consumer for the same rivalled quality. This is no exception - fair enough i'm using high quality in earphones but without this to get it to my ears i'd be stuck! It's a clever bit of equipment allowing you to essential mix yourself and let the sound engineer also give you a mix (and let's be honest....you probably want as much control as you can!). It's got a great volume, plenty of headroom and is quiet and does the job well in a noisy environment. Of course it won't push for studio quality sound, but then again, you don't need it in a live situation where you are simply looking to monitor yourself and monitor well. This is a great buy, a must to stick in your bag with a few leads and earphones.
