Talking A Little Pro-ject

While meeting with Pider earlier today (more on that later, he gets to start first with the thread) I purchased a small Pro Ject Head Box S headphone amplifier.

After consulting with Dan (jdandy) about how to hook this up, I gave it a try. Thanks to Dan for his advice.

I basically have two ways to hook this up, either within the Main Zone where everything that comes into the pre/pro comes out of the speakers or goes to the TV, or, work a Zone 2 scheme in which all outputs to the amplifiers muted by using the trigger scheme to turn off all the amplifiers.

The Main Zone scheme basically allows me to connect the headphone amp to a simple audio line level out and mute the pre/pro main outs.

The Zone 2 scheme would entail having a second analog out from every source running to the pre/pro. Lots more wiring.

So I tried the Main Zone scheme using the line level out and muting the pre/pro. It worked!!! Well....mostly worked. If you adjust the pre/pro volume, manually or with the remote, the pre/pro Mute function disengages and the speakers once again put out sound.

In order to adjust the sound using the pre/pro vs. the manual volume control on the headphone amp, it looks as if I will have to implement the Zone 2 scheme.

In any event, Phase 1 of my headphone amplifier implementation "pro-ject" is complete.
