In addition to the full range of SM Pro Audio products (Analog Series, Red
Valve, Value, & Microphone Series), the new "HP6E" multi-channel headphone amplifier is to be showcased at the
NAMM 2008 International trade show. Visitors are welcome Thursday Jan 17 - Sunday Jan 20 2008 at the SM Pro

Simply stated, the HP6E is a high-quality, powerful, flexible, and reliable six (6) channel headphone amplifier housed in a
sturdy 1RU 19" standard rack-mountable metal chassis.
The HP6E boasts a variety of improvements over the original HP6 including improved frequency response, additional power,
digital control of input selection, and a fifth mix input. Built in flash memory has also been added to allow for last state
memory recall of the input selection for each channel...perfect for saving critical studio time.
The HP6E's flexible design allows any of the four (4) available audio input source signals can be routed to any of the 6 Class
A headphone amps provided on the HP6E. An additional fifth stereo signal can also be mixed into each individual headphone
channel. This allows for endless application support including studio monitoring, live monitoring, in ear individual mixing,
signal distribution, and more.
