Instructions for use and installation

Welcome

At DACS we are very pleased that you have chosen to purchase one of our products.
We take pride in our work and are sure that this HeadLite2 will give you years of
exemplary service. If you have any suggestions or comments about this product
please call, fax, write or e-mail us with your thoughts. Thank you.

Introduction

The HeadLite2 is a four input, four output headphone amplifier, with a six position
self cleaning monitor select switch for each amplifier. It is designed to be as flexible
as possible without introducing needless complexities. The input buffering ensures a
flat frequency response down to below 1Hz.

Its outputs are capable of driving virtually all headphones; we know of none it has
problems with. The outputs are also designed to drive down long lines to cubicles
with little or no loss of quality. The unit is compatible with -10dBV and +4dBu inputs
(see next page - “3&7 Inputs”).

For power users who require the ultimate power output, we offer the Power
modification, which significantly increases in power output. The Power modification
is fitted to one channel as standard (look for the blue cap), but can be fitted to two,
three or all four channels of the HeadLite2. It has built-in limiting (soft clip) to help
protect low impedance headphones from burn out. Additional power modifications
can be retrofitted any time after purchase. Please speak to your retailer or direct to us
for details.
