jameskerr87 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hello all I'm currently looking for somthing like this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/911510-REG/rolls_hv6_headpohone_volume_control.html preferrably built in the UK with XLR or 1/4" Jack input to 3.5mm output. This has come around due to a band I'm working with going on IEM's but not wireless. They will have personal monitoring systems on top of their amps (P16) and I'm just looking for A) a neat way to extend the heaphone cable B) being able to clip to their belt and C) give them a volume knob to use if needed. I'm quite happy to build myself too as Imagine its not too tasking. If anyone has any thoughts about what boxes and components to buy, I'm all ears.

GaryNattrass Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Thomann do these with XLR or jack inputs: http://www.thomann.de/gb/fischer_amps_mini_bodypack_mit_lsregler.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBogg Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 you will find the fusser amps unit great but they do need a little mod if your going to stick just a line level signal into them. they are intended for an xor carrying left and right headphone signal so we just opened ours up a passively split the line signal to both led and right of the phones.

henny Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 if cost is an issue how about something like http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/headphone-extension-cable-with-volume-control-l43af Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.spoons Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I had one one those but the build quality was seriously cr@p. The Fischer will last 100 X as long for 4 X the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadingle Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I've used one of these in the past - unbalanced jacks but have useful thoughts like a channel to feed the cable into preventing it from being pulled from the socket, basic gain adjustment, volume control... plus it gives the option of going wireless at a later date?

jameskerr87 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thanks peopleI don't need headphone amps with the P16-m, so just want a neat belt connection and a passive volume knob would be perfect. Completely forgot about the Fischer Mini body pack, perfect... Anyone have preference to Jack or XLR input, I would have liked a male XLR socket as I reckon a female XLR is easier to unplug at the angle it will be sat on the belt. Or maybe I'm over thinking and I'm not giving the band enough credit ha ha James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryNattrass Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I think the jack version is locking too! http://fischer-amps....en-eingang.html If the Behringer has jack outputs I would get the jack version as it saves using converter cables.

Or maybe I'm over thinking and I'm not giving the band enough credit ha ha may want to think if a "quick break" solution is required in line, or will they always remove headphones and belt pack before they walk away too far, or someone else trips over the cable.
