Headzone Hardware

Rear
Digital audio input (IEEE1394)
The digital IEEE1394 (Firewire) port provides input for 6 digital audio streams up to a sample rate of 96kHz. Furthermore, the
Firewire connection is used for exchanging configuration data between the Headzone hardware and Headzone software control
panel.
Headzone utilizes a standard 6-pin Firewire connector and supports the IEEE1394-A standard. Use an appropriate adaptor cable
to connect a 4-pin Firewire port (common on notebooks) or an 8-pin Firewire port (IEEE1394-B standard).
Note:
- The labelling of the Firewire connection can differ, e.g. it can also be “iLink” or “1394” etc
- Headzone does not support bus power via Firewire1394 and can only be powered by the beyerdynamic power supply included.
Power switch
Switches power on or off while the power supply is plugged in. Please always plug in the power supply before turning Headzone
on and turn the Headzone device off before unplugging the power supply.
Power connector
Connector for providing 5V DC power supply. Connecting any power supply other than the beyerdynamic device included can
damage your hardware.
Input sensitivity switch
Switches the input sensitivity of the analog audio inputs (RCA) between -10dBV and +4dBU.
Analog audio inputs
- Analog, unbalanced audio inputs (RCA). Use these jacks for feeding in analog 5.1 surround signals.
- Use the input sensitivity switch for adapting Headzone to the output level of your 5.1 playback device.
- Please take care not to overload the analog inputs by levelling the output signals of your playback device in a way that the
clipping LED on the Headzone front will shortly light up when signal peaks occur.
Headzone can use the digital or analog audio inputs. Both serve as inputs for the surround processing. The analog inputs can not
be routed to be fed into a PC via Firewire (to be used as recording inputs). Headzone is a playback device that replaces surround
speakers, not a recording device.
Head tracker connector
Connector for the “Headzone rail” (head tracker receiver).
