  JeffTadashi's review "Great rack-sized headphone amp!"

  Overall Opinion

  The Behringer Powerplay Pro-XL HA4700 is a 4 channel, high powered headphone mixer and distribution amplifier. It features a stereo 1/4" input on the front, 1/4" and xlr left and right inputs on the back, 1/4" and xlr left and right outputs, and connections for headphones (in 1/4 stereo form) on both the front and the back of the unit. There are four independent headphone amplifiers here, although you can certainly hook up multiple headphones to the same amp, which allows this unit to be used with 12 headphones, or 12 destinations. Each headphone amp channel also has an aux in, which allows you to independly mix in a second signal for a specific headphone channel. This is great if a certain user wants a certain instrument louder in their headphone mix. Notably, I used the aux feature to mix in my vocals louder in my headphone mix.
  
  
  
  There is a master level input control, but I find for most sources, you can max this knob, without any clipping on the input. There is a nice meter on the input that shows if the signal is clipping. This same meter exists for all 4 amp channels as well. At times I find that the headphone amp doesn't get loud enough (mostly for drum applications), and I have to force it to clip in order to get loud enough. This is a big worrying, and I feel like I may be damaging the headphones.
  
  
  
  Each channel also has independing bass and treble controls, to help tailor the sound to a specific set of headphones, or to a specific user. I generally do not have to fiddle with these settings, but turning treble down when putting guitars though the headphone mix can be very useful, as guitar tones can be very piercing.
  
  
  
  Overall, the HA4700 is a versataile headphone amplifier that is suitable for studios, live bands, and for personal use. It's affordable and solid.

  bobkorn's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " A try before you buy ..."

  Overall Opinion

  To put it simply:
  
  
  
  What is significant:
  
  Rack-
  
  -4 Independent channels
  
  -3 Outputs per channel (including 1 front)
  
  -1 Aux in independent for each channel
  
  2 band EQ -1 independent for each channel
  
  -The possibility of a "mix" by adjusting the balance between the hand and in the in each channel.
  
  
  
  Parcontre:
  
  Portard-notched (which do not allow precise adjustment of volume). It is often being readjust the volume
  
  From breath-
  
  A-Buzz disgusting that intensifies the channels closest to the power supply
  
  SAV-A UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE FAILURE OF THEIR PRODUCT ON SEVERAL KEY FAILURE TO HA 4700 ...
  
  
  
  In conclusion, despite the benefits it can bring, if it were to do again, I will not take this product with the basic use is simply undermined by a buzz deplorable.

  Smouffy's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " I like"

  Overall Opinion

  IL 4 years ago, the first I bought was a ARTcessories 4, it was okay but not enough function and too small, so I bought the Behringer HA 4700, and I like it. For the price it is very affordable and I will make the same choice, and who knows maybe a second soon. My rating 10/10

  How long you use it?
  
  About two weeks.

  No, this is my first.

  nan3200's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a few weeks, I tried a samson before, but they are based on the same operational amplifier, only the channels change.
  
  opportunities are attractive, Front AUX, 12 headphones manageable
  
  
  
  it is not expensive, and frankly for a small home studio, it's really very good!
  
  course, we feel that the quality of manufacture is not a standard utlisation intense and caution, but a headphone amp does not troll around!
  
  
  
  I carefully considered my choice and knowing I'd do it again!
  
  you just know what lo'n wants is a product intended to be fixed, manage headphones, and not of HP.
  
  I did not notice any saturation or breathing, even pushing the knobs. I drive the Sennheiser HD560 (old high end), hd 477, hd 515, hd 201, hd 450, hd 435, and no problems, we come easily to match the levels.
  
  
  
  short, a very nice vehicle to advise! but being aware that for the accurate recording, you need a more accurate monitoring than him.
  
  Me, I plug my best headphones directly to the mixing desk to monitor, since the powerplay connects the output line, he!

  Blue Jester's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  Behringer, there are many bad, but when there is good ... it's very good!
  
  
  
  Let me explain my use of this device that I use for about six months, with in-ear headphones and extension jack 5 meters ... (Except for me: UHF: p)
  
  
  
  I first enter every instrument in the rack Behringer DI-DI Pro 800.
  
  <a href="http://fr.audiofanzine.com/boite-direct/behringer/ULTRA-DI-PRO-DI-800/avis/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://fr.audiofanzine.com/boite-direct/behringer/ULTRA-DI-PRO-DI-800/avis/
  
  </a>
  
  On the bottom of each channel of the DI-Pro 800, an XLR cable from the console to join the mix.
  
  In front of each channel of the DI-Pro 800, an output "unbalanced out" jack fate, exactly the same signal that what comes with XLR I thus connects each channel of the DI-800 to Pro each channel of HA4700.
  
  
  
  Ass of HA4700, I have 2 jack inputs / XLR which I connected the output "Control Room" from my mixer so that each headphone mix receives general.
  
  
  
  The 2 XLR / jack located next door, return exactly the same signal that what goes into these entries (even off camera), thereby bringing in a second string HA4700 if you have more than 4 zicos, or so simply plugging the speakers back in addition.
  
  
  
  <strong>Each</strong> of the 4 channels of HA4700 therefore receives <strong>generally</strong> the mix, <strong>and for each</strong> instrument connected to it (via the DI-800 Pro for my part, which allows me to further equipment connected to each channel).
  
  
  
  Result: not only is each musician <strong>hears mostly his own instrument, and the main mix</strong> (ie all other instruments) referred to by the mixer, but in addition, each musician may, for his headphone:
  
  
  
  - Determine a preference between [+ instrument] / [+ Mix]
  
  - Determine the bass made in his headphone
  
  - Test for Acute
  
  - Determine the volume of his headphone
  
  - Have an overview of its volume, each channel being provided with an LED VU meter.
  
  
  
  And it's not over! Far left of the facade, an instrument input "general" will be returned to all headphones. Me, I plug in a metronome for musicians that are all square <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> And it does not pass in front ^ ^
  
  
  
  The use of the DI-800 in addition to Pro as I do is not essential, but without it, your instruments are not connected <strong>to the headphone amplifier,</strong> and thus does not pass in front (well, each output headphone is split, one forward one aft, you can use it to swing back the sound, but suddenly if you increase the volume on your headphones, then inevitably you increase the volume of your instrument).
  
  
  
  Then level sound quality is not great, but that's not what we want: the listening volume is rendered still more than enough to get along despite a battery, an electric guitar and a whole mix , and using it with in-ear earphones and a UHF system, its just the foot in comfort for every musician get along perfectly, and still hear the music perfectly as well.
  
  
  
  So, even pregnant need to rehearse, or even pregnant back on stage, which considerably reduces the risk of feedback, and lets you mount the volume of the microphones!
  
  
  
  It's a purchase I do not regret: to repeat or do a concert, the difference in comfort with / without, literally day and night.

  rammanson's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for some years. This is the first headphone amp I had and I must admit that as far as I am I think it will last. I paid 45 €-hand because I had money to throw. I do not regret at all, in fact this thing is awesome, a two bands EQ, pan, mute output L / R while that for each headphone (4) Then, in the (useless I know ...) and a Masters with direct sound in general (also useless). I use it for clicks and for records of all kinds and from 2h00 to not wake my neighbors. Well at that price it is very good.
  
  on the other hand, we get along well, I do not recommend any steps for mixing and mastering.

  Q_'s review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  I use it to grate returns and in-ear headphone rptition from 6 months (I'm not the sr MODEL roughly half that of I-2007).
  
  
  
  No lie about the possibilities, many. But:
  
  
  
  -Its really a dnatur ... trs's really not beautiful: the breath, or even big buzz, bass disappear (there rcuprent eq Intgr but not fte, not pr cis), treble aggressive ... I used to serve me a small table to prampli behringer headphones, and it is incomparable!
  
  >>> On its ear fatigue much faster than normal.
  
  
  
  -The notches on the volume of output headphones are not practical ... can not rgler in precision is not practical ...
  
  >>> On in-ear, one passes easily from too low to too high a notch!
  
  
  
  Obviously the price has made the service his small, but it really dcevant, and I am yet prt dfendre behringer on other products (including mx8000, a little less brave recently after 10 years of loyal service, but even when, or BCF2000 so convenient to not have a round or small consoles, some compressors ...)
  
  
  
  short, I do not know what we can find honnte good prices, but it's even uglier this product ...
