There are enough headphone amps that measure and sound great loaded with a high impedance (300 ohms or more) but measure and sound flat out ugly when loaded with 32 ohms that this is worth taking into account if you want to run 32 ohm headphones off of whatever it is you are testing. If you are testing a headphone/power amp this way be sure to load the output between the output of the 'amp under test' and the 'distribution amp(s)' with a realistic load. At least everyone is listening to the same amplification chain. They are generally kind of cheap, but if you are trying to get a consensus of how a certain change to the circuit sounds from a bunch of people at once it may work. 1 input, and several headphone amps built in, each with its own volume control (before the amp) and every headphone gets its own actual amp. You can buy fairly inexpensive amplifiers designed for studio use like this. As long as you keep the variables to a minimum and the splitter amp is good enough to get the differences through you should be reasonably OK. Or is it prefered to have one input & amp each output seperately? but drawback if one wanted to use it for testing out another amp so everyone could listen to it, then you would be amping the signal twice and not directly listening to the source amp.Īmplifying the signal twice is as you mentioned not ideal, but it may be the only way to get a consensus from a group. Depending on the headphones it could be harmless or it could be pretty important. The problem with putting a volume control on the output of the amp is that the output impedance of the amp is conditional on where the pot is parked and generally quite high no mater what you do. The headphones are in parallel, so a few sets of low impedance headphones may be too low of an impedance for the amp to drive well. If everyone has the same headphones this works out OK assuming everyone likes the same levels and the amp can drive the combined load properly. From that point on do you split the amps output and put potentiometers to each audio output? so that each device can get the correct drive? I assume if one attempted this method you need a powerful amp turned up high?

I was curious on how to split music with one music source, and amp to 2-3 headphones. I was curious how audio splitters work, but im not exactly talking about Y-cables. On the game I'm trying to play with the headset, Fortnite, people are saying that they can hear me but it's a bit low.Originally Posted by igotyofire /img/forum/go_quote.gif what's strange is if I do a voice recording on my computer, i can hear it play back and it sounds fine. The microphone levels have been maxed at 100. Even knowing it has 2 ears, I still can't deduce whether it's a TRS headset or a turtle beach earforce xo one If the above didn't help, it would help to know your specific model of headset if you can list that, or show a picture of it and its plug. It may also be that your headset's microphone is defective If it's already maxed to 100 or the volume of the mic is still too low, then you probably need a different connector. Then switch to the levels tab and see if you can raise the levels slider or number any higher. Right click on where your headset's microphone is listed and then click properties. You'll want to right click the speakers icon on your computer and then either click on recording devices or sounds then switch to the recording tab on the window that pops up.

To have full functionality of 2 ear stereo headset, then you would've needed a cable with a female TRRS connector, otherwise a 1 ear headset might work fully with a cable like the one you of the mic could be affected by an improper connector. But a 1 ear headset just might use a TRS connector. Saying it was a Turtle Beach Headset wasn't specific enough. Headsets that have a speaker for each ear instead of just one ear, typically have a TRRS connector so that it has stereo audio. I think the issue here is whether your headset was made to have stereo audio or if it's just a 1 ear headset with just 1 chanel or mono audio. The splitter I have, with TRS plugs - works! Once I plugged it into the mobo opposed to the front I/O panel, it works. You are wrong in insisting that it needed to be TRRS. Although the splitter I have says they are TRS plugs, they say they are specifically for a headset/microphone combo.

Information was incorrect and mislead you? you insisted that I need a TRRS plug for it to work, and I'm telling you that is not true.
