Summary information about this HDS-6, created by Furman:
Furman HDS-6 Furman HDS-6 Headphone Distribution Amp Wonderful for studio, rehearsals, and use as a powered monitor system on stage. The rackmount HDS-6 connects to the console and provides the interface and amplification to drive a chain of up to 7 HR-6 headphone mixers (available separately). HDS-6 to HR-6 linking is provided by inexpensive Ethernet computer cables (1 set is included). The HDS-6 also provides Ground lift, on-off switches, power-on LED, Overload LEDs for each channel, and a Link Cables Reversed indicator. 3-year warranty. 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 6teen people in recording and live sound locations. The combination of functions add unprecedented functionality and convenience to any multiple-user audio application. The system consists of 2 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 or through mail order. 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 2 pairs of headphones may be plugged into each HR-6. The HR-6 is a compact 6-channel, 5-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 4 mono pots and one stereo pot. The 4 mono pots allow each user to create a custom mix of 4 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 4 mono pots, allowing only the stereo source to be heard, without having to alter the HR-6's 4 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.
