Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the headphone output is quite decent for casual monitoring, though it's not a dedicated high-end headphone amplifier.
It’s more of a hard left/right panning – not a true center-to-side stereo sweep. It's functional, but keep that in mind for subtle positioning.
The levels are well-matched to other 4ms modules, maintaining a consistent sonic character and avoiding gain-staging headaches – a big plus for a cohesive system.
