MOTU Ultralite Mk4 -- headphone mixes?

Post by JES »

Hi,

For those who have an Ultralite Mk4, it looks like it has only one headphone out. Is there a kludge to get two different headphone mixes, or would I need a different interface for that? And is there enough power on the headphone out to drive two sets of headphones?

Also, I'm sorry for the density, but does it make a difference if you run it off bus or mains power?

Thank you.

An external headphone amp is the solution... do you have an old Hi Fi receiver or amp with a headphone jack laying around? Added bonus: External head amp may have more power than the built-in MOTU one.

Route an unused pair of outputs to your headphone amp and buss audio as required using CueMix.
