Tascam MH-8 – 8-Channel Rackmount Headphone Amplifier

Product Overview

The TASCAM MH-8 is a 1U rack-mount 8-channel headphone amplifier providing 250mW per side to each of eight stereo headphone outputs, designed for studio monitoring, live stage in-ear monitoring distribution, broadcast monitoring, and any application where multiple listeners need independent headphone feeds from shared or individual source signals. Each of the eight outputs accepts its own direct stereo input or draws from two shared stereo source inputs, with three switchable source options per output channel.

Product Description

The MH-8's flexible routing gives each listener the ability to select from up to three available sources: two shared stereo inputs that any channel can access, and a dedicated direct stereo input unique to that output channel. This architecture suits installations where most listeners share a main mix but individual performers need a customized in-ear monitor blend on their dedicated input. Per-channel volume controls adjust each headphone output level independently, and front-panel 1/4-inch headphone jacks on each of the eight channels accommodate standard studio headphones. All source inputs are on the rear panel for clean rack integration. The MH-8 is available at Creation Networks.
