GENERAL

The FP22 is a battery-powered stereo headphone amplifier that

provides headphone feeds from any audio input source. It has the
unique capability of monitoring mono, stereo and mixed mono and
stereo inputs. The FP22 monitors and combines these signals in
the headphones without affecting the original signal. Stereo or
mono headphone outputs appear on

-inch phone or mini 3.5 mm

stereo jacks. The FP22 can drive headphones to very loud levels.
It is ideal for anyone in the broadcasting, sound reinforcement or
audio recording fields who needs a flexible, high–quality head-
phone monitor.

The FP22 is excellent for:

•

Line checking applications

•

Providing multiple headphone feeds

•

On stage in-ear monitoring

•

Boosting headphone circuits

•

Headphone foldback in recording studios

•

Practicing musical instruments or mixed vocals through headphones
while monitoring a stereo source

Features:

•

Exceptionally wide frequency response and dynamic range

•

High-impedance bridging inputs do not load signal sources

•

Capable of mixing mono and stereo inputs in headphone outputs

•

Complete user control of headphone volume

•

Loopthrough
