The MH-8 is a solid, workhorse headphone amp for tracking and mixing. Its individual channel direct outs are a real boon for recording multiple instruments simultaneously, and the power is more than enough for even high-impedance headphones. This is ideal for studios and serious home recordists needing reliable, flexible headphone management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Each channel can be assigned to a different input, allowing you to monitor drums, vocals, and guitars independently.
It’s a pre-EQ signal, meaning it’s the raw input signal before any level adjustments are made on the headphone channel.
The ground lift switch generally helps reduce hum and buzz caused by ground loops, but effectiveness varies depending on the specific noise source.
