Canford release M & S upgrade for Headphone Amplifier

Canford Audio have launched an updated version of their popular Headphone Amplifier, which allows the user to monitor MID & SIDE signals in addition to mono and stereo signals.
The unit, used in conjunction with a pair of headphones, allows audio signals to be checked quickly and easily in many situations, but is particularly useful in the broadcast environment.
A three-position slide switch enables the user to choose between Mono, AB and MS, expanding the list of situations this already versatile unit can be used in.
The inputs are by two high impedance XLR sockets on the top of the device, both electronically balanced and both with DC protection. The headphone outlet is via either a 6.35mm A-gauge jack or a 3.5mm jack and the maximum output has been increased from +8 to +13 dBu. There is a dual gang volume control located on the top panel while on the rear of the unit, adjacent to the DC input jack, a three-position toggle switch selects between internal battery power, external power and off.
The unit is housed in extruded aluminium and a beltclip is provided.
Combined with the battery compartment's location beside the headphone socket, this is a very compact and extremely portable little gadget.
