Furman HDS6/HR6 Headphone Distribution SystemThis system offers a great-sounding, cost effective way to provide custom mixes for up to 16 people in recording and live sound environments. The system consists of two components: the rackmount HDS-6, and one or more HR-6 remote mixers (one is included in the package). Linking components is as easy as plugging in cables -- multiple HR-6's are simply daisy-chained together (cables included). Up to eight HR-6 remotes can be linked to an HDS-6, and two pairs of headphones may be plugged into each HR-6. The HR-6 provides four mono pots and one stereo pot for full, custom remote control. This system is designed for high-end audio applications, yet is affordable enough for home studios and general live sound applications.
The Furman HDS-6 / HR-6 Audio Distribution System offers a great-sounding, cost effective and flexible way to provide custom mixes for up to sixteen people in recording and live sound environments. The combination of unique functions add unprecedented functionality and convenience to any multiple-user audio application.
The system consists of two components: the rackmount HDS-6 Audio Distribution System, and one or more HR-6 remote mixers (please note that the HR-6 remote mixers are sold separately). Linking the distribution unit and remote mixers is as easy as plugging in cables -- multiple HR-6's are simply daisy-chained together. A pair of 25 foot linking cables is included with each HR-6, and other lengths are easily obtained at your local computer store. For applications where daisy-chaining is not practical, a twelve port or larger ethernet patch panel can be wired to allow multiple HR-6 units to connect from a central location. Up to eight HR-6 remote mixers can be linked to an HDS-6, and two pairs of headphones may be plugged into each HR-6.
The HDS-6 rackmount distribution system connects to the mixer/console to provide interface and power supplies to drive a group of HR-6 remote mixers. Trimpots are provided on the HDS-6's front panel to match the console output levels to the HDS-6's inputs.
The HDS-6 is ideal as a low distortion headphone driver for the most critical listening situations. In addition to providing high current differential buffered signals, it also provides power and ground to the HR-6 remote mixers.
The HR-6 is a compact six-channel, five-pot remote mixer that clamps to any mic stand. When used with the HDS-6, the HR-6 allows musicians to customize their own headphone or monitor mix, and the engineer doesn't have to touch the board.
The HR-6 provides four mono pots and one stereo pot. The four mono pots allow each user to create a custom mix of four console channels or busses. The stereo pot will most often be used for a main control room mix, or for a stereo effects return.
The HR-6 also provides a Submixes Included/Excluded button, which mutes the four mono pots, allowing only the stereo source to be heard, without having to alter the HR-6's four monaural settings.
The HDS-6 / HR-6 Audio Distribution System and HR-6 Remote Mixer are designed for high-end audio applications, yet are affordable enough for home studios and general live sound applications.

About Furman Power and Sound Products
Furman Sound has been producing high-quality, professional products since 1974. Our products fall into two broad categories: the audio and video signal processors (on which the company was founded) and the innovative AC power conditioning and distribution products for which we have are best known. Applications for these products are no longer limited to music, but also span a wide range of markets. Our highly acclaimed CE line, established in 2001, incorporates a complete line of AC power management products specifically engineered for today's home theater systems. Additional applications for our Professional Audio/Video products include sound reinforcement, home and professional recording, post production, broadcast systems, telecommunications, and data processing.
Recently we were proud to introduce the next generation in power conditioning technology: Series II. All Series II units feature our revolutionary Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus (SMP+) circuit. Developed over a period of two years by our highly skilled team of engineers, our new circuit incorporates our exclusive Linear Filter Technology (LiFT) and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (E.V.S.), making it the most advanced power-conditioning system available. SMP+ can be found in all Series II and Power Factor units.
We at Furman are proud of our 32 year history, but are focused on the future and our commitment to stretch the bounds of technology to provide the most advanced power purification solutions for any application.
