Introduction
The Nowsonic Hexacon is a headphone amplifier with 6 separate output
channels. Each channel derives its signal from the stereo MAIN INPUT
on the rear panel. For a flexible routing you can replace the input signal
at the MAIN INPUT and feed the attached headphones with the signal
at the DIRECT IN jack on the front panel. In addition, each headphone
channel has its own stereo input for monitoring an alternative signal.
Each output channel features a BALANCE knob which controls either
the panning between the LEFT and RIGHT channel in the MAIN bus or
the MIX balance between the MAIN bus and the AUXILIARY input in the
channels output.
Each output channel features separate controls for BASS and TREBLE for
optimizing the output signal as needed. For a simplified setup and a fle-
xible wiring the headphone outputs are in parallel as 1/4" TRS jacks on
the rear and the front panel. Using the two MONO buttons, each chan-
nel can individually be toggled between the four operating modes Ste-
reo, Mono Left, Mono Right and Mono Left & Right for providing various
monitoring options.
On the rear panel you will find balanced inputs (XLR and 1/4" TRS) for
the MAIN bus. The input signal is looped through via normalized THRU
sockets (XLR, 1/4" TRS). This allows to drive additional Hexacon units if
needed. The output level is metered via the 8-segment level meters per
channel and in the MAIN bus.
Operation
Hexacon is recommended for the following applications and environ-
ment: normally, Hexacon is used in recording studios to drive the artist
monitor. For this purpose, Hexacon can be installed in the control or
recording room as required. Thanks to its standard size (19", 1U), Hexa-
con can be mounted in every 19" rack. Since the housing of Hexacon
is made of sheet steel and aluminum, it is largely insensitive to inter-
ferences. However, you should not install Hexacon next to a power
amplifier or any other device that can generate high temperatures or
electromagnetic fields.
Power supply
Hexacon has an internal power supply. Connect Hexacon to the mains
using the appropriate power cord. Please take care that the specifica-
tion on the rear panel matches the mains power.
Hexacon is grounded via the ground pin of the mains plug: Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.
