Welcome to Midwest Pro Sound and Lighting

Features:

• Every artist in the studio or on stage can have a customheadphone/monitor mix without any adjustments at theboard
• Perfect for tracking, overdubbing, rehearsal sessions, andonstage monitor mixing
• HDS­16 rackmount distribution system connects to thestudio console and routes 8 mono and 4 stereo signals toHRM­16 remote mixing stations via a single multi­pair cable
• The HRM­16 Remote Mixer may either attach to a micstand or be set on a shelf or table, allowing headphone/monitor mixes to be created on the fly
• Talkback system allows each HRM­16 mixer user tocommunicate with other users and the main mixing location
• One 25 foot (7.7m) HDS­16 to HRM­16 linking cable isincluded with each HRM­16 unit, eliminating the need for acostly "console snake"

Following up on the tremendous success of its HDS­6/HR­6 Headphone/Audio Distribution System, Furman introduces an enlarged and enhanced system, the HDS­16/HRM­16 Headphone/Audio Distribution System System.The HDS­16 Headphone Distribution System and HRM­16Headphone Remote Mixer are the logical extension toFurman's very popular headphone amp/audio distributionlineup. These models are designed to function equally well forboth live (in­ear or stage monitors) and studio applications,allowing greater flexibility and ease for both the user and theengineer.

The HDS­16/HRM­16 Headphone/Audio DistributionSystem cleanly routes 8 mono and 4 stereo signals to remotemixing locations via Centronics 50 pin cables. Up to eightHRM­16’s can be connected directly or daisy chained to a single HDS­16, allowing as many as sixteen users (two pereach HRM­16) to customize eight different mixes. A uniquetalkback system allows each user to communicate with otherusers and the main mixing location. Additionally, a SOLOsystem allows the engineer to mute all but one stereo sendfrom the mix location ­ very handy for reviewing recent takesor rough mixes. Additional HRM­16 features include localeffects send/return, line out, overall bass/treble controls,talkback level, and a master level control.

The double rack­space HDS­16 provides full patchingfunctions on its front panel via ¼"" and TT input jacks, and isintended to be installed at the mixing console location. TheHDS­16 provides power and signal conditioning to drive theHRM­16 Remote Mixers. There is no power cord or wall wartrequired for the HRM­16’s. In addition, it includes two ¼"jacks for the two­way talkback functions, and a SOLOREMOTE switch with an indicator that allows muting of all butone stereo feed at all HRM­16’s. This comes in handy forisolating tracks for critical listening without having eachHRM­16 user turn down all but one channel. The SOLOfunction also includes a ¼" jack so actuation can be donewith a footswitch. Front panel indicators include POWER ONand SOLO ON. The rear panel includes six Centronics 50 pinconnectors to link up to six HRM­16’s (more if daisy chaining isused), and the standard Furman ON/OFF and GROUND LIFTswitches.

The unique talkback system is extremely versatile. It canbe configured two different ways by moving a jumper on thecircuit board in the HDS­16. One way allows the talkback micon each HRM­16 to be fed to all of the other HRM­16 units aswell as the HDS­16. The other configuration allowscommunication to the HDS­16 only. This is particularly usefulfor stage use where the user’s talkback mic should not feedinto all of the monitors (including the user's own monitor).The HRM­16 Remote Mixer may either attach to a micstand with the included mic stand clip and hardware, or beplaced on a table or shelf. The unit requires no external power,and allows full volume/low distortion headphone mixes to becreated on the fly.

The eight mono and four stereo signals each have levelcontrols. Each mono channel also has a pan control and aneffects send control which feeds its own rear panel ¼" send/return jacks; the affected signal is returned into the mix andcontrolled via a stereo effects return knob. Also on the rearpanel of the HRM­16 is a mono line out ¼"" jack to drive stageor in­ear monitors, a jack for a talk­back footswitch, and two 50pin Centronics connectors to allow daisy chaining of up to fourHRM­16’s.

Connecting HDS­16 and HRM­16’s is easy, as each mixeris supplied with a 25­foot super­flexible interconnect cablewhich can easily be extended or routed through walls anddaisy chained to other HRM­16’s. Cable extenders and thruwallinstallation kits are available as well (see below).The HDS­16 and HRM­16 are sold separately.THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTYThe HDS­16 and HRM­16 are protected by a three­yearlimited warranty covering defects in materials andworkmanship.
