In purchasing the BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO HA4600 you have acquired a headphone amplifier of the high end-class. The equipment was developed for the most demanding uses: professional recording, radio and TV studios, CD and digital production equipment etc. Its extensive capabilities make the POWERPLAY PRO universally applicable. It was developed for use both as a reference unit, to assess the quality of a final mix, and as a distribution amplifier for the comfortable addition of playbacks in studio use. The POWERPLAY PRO has a range of switching possibilities and a sound performance, which are found in few headphone amplifiers. Besides its extremely powerful amplifiers the HA4600 also has an ingenious signal-source distribution system. Improving on the well-known POWERPLAY PRO unit was a big challenge. We are proud that we have been able to develop further the innovations we introduced in the preceding models and to have developed an even more high-value headphone amplifier, which can meet professional expectations in every type of application. The HA4600 includes for example bass and high-EQ in each channel, making possible an even more individualized audio setup. An 8-segment LED display gives you exact information on the performance of each channel and makes it possible to control the level precisely, at any time.
This manual first describes the terminology used, so that you can fully understand the POWERPLAY PRO and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
The POWERPLAY PRO was carefully packed in the factory, in order to ensure safe transport. Nevertheless, should the box show signs of damage please check the equipment itself immediately for any signs of external damage. Please also take the time to complete and return the warranty card within 14 days of the date of purchase, otherwise you will lose the right to the extended warranty. Or simply use our online registration under www.behringer.com. 5
Before connecting the POWERPLAY PRO to the mains, please carefully check that your equipment is set to the correct supply voltage!
The fuse holder on the female mains connector has 3 triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite each other. The HA4600 is set to the operating voltage shown next to these markings. It can be set to another voltage by turning the fuse holder through 180°. CAUTION: this does not apply to export models, which were designed e.g. only for a mains voltage of 120 V! Connection to the mains is made by means of a mains cable with an IEC receptacle which complies with the appropriate safety regulations.
Please note that all units must be grounded properly. For your own safety, you should never remove any ground connectors from electrical devices or power cords or render them inoperative.
It should be pointed out, that extreme output volumes may damage your ears and/or your headphones. Turn down all LEVEL controls before you switch on the unit. Always pay attention to an appropriate volume.
The DIRECT IN socket is used to apply external signal sources. Use of this input automatically cuts off the MAIN signal applied on the rear panel. The INPUT LEVEL control adjusts the sound level of the input signal, which is fed in via the rear panel MAIN INPUT socket.
The 4-digit INPUT LEVEL display shows the input level over a range from -24 to +12 dBu. The ON LED lights up when you switch on the HA4600.
The HEADPHONE OUT socket is connected in parallel with the output sockets on the rear panel and provides an additional means of listening to the individual channels. This function is particularly useful when the equipment has been permanently installed in a rack. A further input signal can be mixed in to the MAIN or the DIRECT IN-Signal via the AUX IN-input. The L MUTE switch mutes the left input signal. The R MUTE switch mutes the right input signal. The MONO switch can be used to switch each of the amplifiers from stereo to mono operation. The BASS control can be used to increase or decrease the lower frequencies (+/-15 dB). The TREBLE control can be used to increase or decrease the higher frequencies (+/-15 dB). The BALANCE control sets the ratio level between the MAIN or DIRECT IN signal and the input signal, which was applied to the AUX input. The OUTPUT LEVEL control is used to set the sound level of each individual amplifier. At the same time it also controls the left and right channels. The 8-digit OUTPUT LEVEL display monitors the output level of each individual channel over the range from -24 to +12 dBu. If the Clip-LED lights up, please reduce the gain of the current channel, otherwise distortion may result.
The rear panel control elements
FUSE HOLDER /VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Before connecting the equipment to the mains supply, please check that the voltage displayed on the unit conforms with your mains voltage supply. When replacing the fuse, make sure you use another one of the same type. The mains connection is made via a standard IEC RECEPTACLE. A suitable connecting cable is supplied with the equipment. MAIN IN. These are the POWERPLAY PRO audio inputs. They are available both as balanced 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors. MAIN OUT. These are the POWERPLAY PRO audio outputs. The matching 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors are wired in parallel. HEADPHONE OUT 1. These are the headphone outputs of channel 1. HEADPHONE OUT 2. These are the headphone outputs of channel 2. HEADPHONE OUT 3. These are the headphone outputs of channel 3. HEADPHONE OUT 4. These are the headphone outputs of channel 4. 7
The AUX IN inputs are basically used to mix in an additional input signal with the master signal, while the corresponding BALANCE control adjusts the volume ratio between the two signals. The Aux function replaces the monitor mixer which was necessary up to now, and so allows for a type of use which occurs frequently in practice. Suppose e.g. that a singer has to add a vocal track to an existing playback. Up till now it was usual for the singer to listen to the playback by pressing a headphone pad against one ear, while using the other ear to control his/her own voice. With the POWERPLAY PRO this application becomes much simpler and much more comfortable. The playback signal is played in via the MAIN IN inputs and the pre-amplified vocal signal added via the AUX connector. The associated BALANCE control is adjusted so that the singer hears a perfect sound volume mix of both the playback and the vocals, with the OUTPUT LEVEL control determining the overall volume level. The four independent channels permit the separate recording and mixing for four musicians. Should this not be enough, you can interface and link as many POWERPLAY PRO machines as desired using the MAIN OUT outputs.
Fig. 3.1: Example of a playback application in a studio In addition to the joint control of all channels via the MAIN input, each of the four amplifiers can also be used completely independently. The AUX IN inputs are used here, together with the BALANCE controls. When the BALANCE control is set fully counterclockwise (AUX position) the MAIN signal is suppressed and only the input signals set up via the AUX IN input are fed through to the appropriate power amplifier. By using each amplifier separately you can now play in up to four independent stereo programs. This means that you can play in different, individual mixes for four musicians at the same time. As with a stage monitoring system you then have the advantage of being able to play a specific configuration of instruments for each musician, giving him a musically inspiring mix; or you can (e.g.) in a conference system set up different signal paths for the interpreters. Create sub-groups, or set up premixes using the effects and monitor facilities of your mixing console. To do this, turn the BALANCE control fully counterclockwise and connect the AUX inputs of the BEHRINGER 8 3. APPLICATIONS
Using the DIRECT IN input
Using the MONO function
For some monitor applications, especially in live operation, a stereo program can often sound irritating. This negative effect becomes particularly clear if the two channels show a large channel separation, i.e. they have different information content, linked with significantly different impressions of sound volume. The MONO switch permits mono operation, that is, the linked operation of the left and right channels without having to use a Y adaptor or a special cable.
If the MONO switch is in the depressed position, the unit works in mono operation. Pressing one of the two MUTE switches mutes the corresponding input signal (left or right input) and the non-muted signal can then be heard over BOTH (left and right) headphone outputs. This routing option means that you can set up two different programs via the left and right inputs and make just the one or the other audible as desired. The Mute function is particularly useful if playback is to be combined with the simultaneous recording of a vocal track. Whereas before it was necessary for a singer to hold one headphone pad away from his/her ear during a music recording in order to hear his own voice better, with the HA4600 the playback can now be switched to stereo mode and the unused channel switched to mute. The previous normaland uncomfortablepractice of moving one headphone pad away from the ear is now a thing of the past.
Connecting several headphones
Please ensure that only qualified persons install and operate the POWERPLAY PRO. During installation and operation the user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth. Electrostatic charges might affect the operation of the unit.
