General Description
The Rane HC6S is one of the most indispensable products in
today’s audio industry. Featuring six stereo headphone amplifiers,
the HC6S performs a number of necessary tasks, not all of which
are headphone related.
The HC6S provides Master stereo Inputs which can be used
to drive any or all of the 6 stereo headphone amplifiers. A Mono
switch is provided on the front panel to drive both channels of
all 6 amplifiers from a common mono source. Six individual
unbalanced stereo Inputs are available to drive any individual
amplifier from a separate stereo source. These Inputs can be
converted to mono balanced Inputs through internal jumpers
if required. Outputs for all six channels are provided on the
front panel and on the rear panel so that headphones may be
connected on either side based on the requirements of a given
installation. Two pairs of headphones may be driven from each
channel, one pair connected to the front and one to the rear.
The HC6S is capable of delivering up to 500 milliwatts into
headphones with rated impedances between 32-600 ohms. The
precise amount of power depends on the exact impedance of
the headphone in use and the number of headphones connected
to the unit. Under most conditions, the HC6S produces sound
pressure levels in excess of 120 dB. This level is more than ad-
equate for most listeners.
