Precision comparison 2-channel mixing console Effect/Test

Two sources connected to Inputs A and B, precision level meter connected to Line output. Source levels can be exactly matched using the level meter and the volume controls. Then sources are alternately activated by the Chan on/off switches.

As a mixer, the HM1 can merge any two sources at Inputs A and B to create a new music programme - or simply cross-fade from one source to the other. The mix is present at the line out outputs and may be fed to an audio recording device.

By using the "A Thru" output, a sound processing or effect device can be "looped in". It is fed from "A Thru" and its output is applied to Input B. The ratio between original and effect unit is set at the A/B volume controls. Instead of the effect, any device to be tested can be looped in. The listening comparison is then made by carefully matching the volume controls and then pressing the A/B on/off switches.

Conventional Preamplifier in minimalist system

Example for a conventional setup as headphones amplifier: Your reference DAC at Input A and an analogue source at Input B

By connecting power amplifiers or active speakers to the Line Out outputs, the HM1 can be used as a preamplifier. Example of a minimalist setup: Streamer to HM1 Input A, turntable (with built-in or external RIAA amplifier) to Input B, active speakers to Line Out.

The E2x2 Pro USB Audio Interface by Topping.

The E2x2 Pro is a compact, 2 In / 2 Out Bus powered interface with quiet, powerful preamps and a class leading headphone amplifier that can power any studio headphone.

With the rise in producers working and mixing in headphones, it is surprising that the headphone output on most small interfaces is often underpowered, unable to run to a good volume with low distortion on all but the most efficient, low impedance headphones.

Topping Pro’s Interface range is designed to get the best possible results from headphones, so even for hard to drive models you won’t need an external headphone amp.

The E2x2 headphone output has up to 580mW of power and a Hi/Lo gain switch. It is equally suitable for high impedance models as ones with low impedance and low sensitivity such as HEDDphones, or many Hifiman & Dan Clark planar magnetic headphones that struggle on most interfaces and require a dedicated amp. In comparison, most similar priced interfaces have a max output power of between 25 & 150mw.

Low noise inputs Topping have implemented extremely low noise (-128dB EIN) microphone and instrument preamps that would not be out of place on high end premium interfaces, even low output dynamic mics like the SM7B work fantastically well without the need for an external preamp.

All of the Topping interface stock at Scan are revised models with the increased 1.5K input impedance.

Samples rates of up to 192kHz 24 Bit / are supported on Mac & PC, but there is also iOS and Android compatibility when using a standard external USB power supply.

The additional power supply also means that any particularly challenging, power hungry condenser mics would be no issue on any platform.

The HPA4 Headphone / Line Amplifier by Benchmark.

The HPA4 is 100% analog.

It is designed to be driven from an external D/A converter or an external analog source.

The HPA4 is designed to provide the ultimate analog signal path between inputs and outputs.

The HPA4 eclipses the performance of typical high-end preamplifiers by achieving much lower noise and distortion.

High Voltage, High Current and High Power

The HPA4 includes IR remote control and can be operated using the optional Benchmark remote.

The HPA4 is designed to work with the Benchmark DAC2 and DAC3 converters but may be driven from any high-end D/A converter.

When paired with a Benchmark DAC, a single remote control will operate both units.

The HPA4 is the perfect complement to the Benchmark AHB2. I

The HPA4 will extract the full performance of the AHB2.

In contrast, other preamplifiers limit the system noise performance because they cannot match the SNR performance of the AHB2.

The HPA4 is the only line amplifier/preamplifier that we recommend inserting between a DAC and the AHB2. The HPA4 can be inserted between a Benchmark DAC3 and AHB2 without degrading the system noise performance.

With the HPA4 inserted, the DAC3's 32-bit digital gain control is replaced by the HPA4's more-resolving fully-analog relay gain control.

Two bidirectional 12V trigger ports can be used to link the HPA4 with external D/A converters and power amplifiers. The trigger signal controls the power-up and power-down sequencing of the entire audio system. The trigger ports are compatible with most industry-standard trigger input or output ports, but can communicate bidirectionally with other Benchmark products. Touch Screen

The touch screen provides easy access to advanced features such as balance control, input level offsets, input names, screen dimming, remote control, and function locking. Help screens explain the special functions. Rotary Encoder

The volume control knob features a high-quality optical encoder that is rated for heavy use. An acceleration feature makes it easy to move through the 256 volume steps while maintaining 0.5 dB/step resolution. A press of the control knob toggles between headphone volume, line out volume, or both. Convenience Features

The HPA4 includes independent on-screen mute buttons for the headphone and line outputs. Both can also be muted with the volume knob or with the optional remote control.

The HPA4 includes an on-screen -20 dB dim button that instantly reduces the level by 20dB. This function provides a temporary volume reduction and an easy return to the previous listening level. This control makes it easy to transition between a normal listening level and a background level. The dim function is also accessible from the optional remote control.

Inputs may be renamed and unused inputs may be disabled. Input levels can be trimmed to provide input-to-input level matching.

Screen brightness is adjustable and timers can be set to dim or shut off the display. The screen can be locked to prevent access to advanced features. Casework

The HPA4 is available with a black or silver faceplate and is designed to match the Benchmark AHB2 power amplifier. It occupies the same footprint as the Benchmark DAC1, DAC2 and DAC3 converters. The case features a milled faceplate and milled sides. Top, bottom, and rear panels are made from thick aluminum and feature a brushed texture. The HPA4 is built to last and will be a fine addition to your listening space.
