The SM5-HP allows you to distribute a single source – the headphones output of a mixer, the line outs of a recorder, the monitor output of a sound board, etc. – to up to five separate pairs of stereo headphones, each with its independent level control, with-out degradation of signal quality or interference between phones.

1. Headphone Output Jack: Each channel of the SM5-HP has a stereo (T/R/S) 1/4" jack for connecting to a pair of stereo headphones. The signal level at each jack is determined by the setting of that channel’s output level control (#2), as well as the level of the input signal.

2. Output Level Control: Each channel of the SM5-HP has its own output level control. Each channel operates independently from the others – an adjustment to the level on one channel will not alter the level of any of the other channels

3. Power Supply Jack: Plug the small metal barrel connector of the AC power adapter here.

4. Cord Cinch: Use this clip to secure the cable of the power pack to the chassis of the SM5-HP.

5. Left (Stereo) Jack: This stereo (T/R/S) 1/4" jack feeds a stereo signal (such as from a Headphones Output jack) or the left channel of a stereo signal (such as from a tape deck line out) into the SM5-HP.

6. Right (Mono) Jack: This mono (T/S) 1/4" jack feeds a mono signal (such as from a Monitor Output jack) or the right channel of a stereo signal (such as from a tape deck line out) into the SM5-HP.
