C|24 built-in headphone output
I'm now almost definitely going to buy a C|24 and I'm looking at patchbay design and stuff I might not need to have on the desktop any more.
So my question for C|24 users is this: can the built-in headphone output go seriously loud with 80 ohm headphones, and do so without being noisy? A lot of my work is audiobooks, which are always tracked on headphones and at what would be ear-bleedingly high levels if you were tracking anything else (because you're punching in on the ends of breaths and so forth). At the moment I'm plugged into my Behringer 8 channel rack mount headphone amp, and it goes stupidly loud without any noticeable noise. If I have the C|24 in front of me, can I use that instead? Also, where exactly is the headphone socket? I can't find a picture of it. If I want to 'sink' the C|24 slightly into the desk surface and have keyboard and trackpad in front of it, can I still get at the socket?

Re: C|24 built-in headphone output
C|24 does not have headphone amplifier. Its monitor section is line-level, uses DB25 connectors, and assumes you have external headphone amp or speakers

Quote:
"Headphone Output C|24 provides a headphone output with a 1/4- inch TRS connector on the front of the unit. Headphone source is switchable between Control Room outputs L and R (channels 1 and 3, pre-fader) and the Cue send (post-fader)." and there's a headphone level knob in the monitor section.

Oh it is under the wrist level then. My bad. Never use it anyway, but good that you found it.

Re: C|24 built-in headphone output
Cool, Janne. So now I just need to hear from someone who can tell me if it's a usable feature or a waste of space...

Re: C|24 built-in headphone output
I use C24 for FOH so it is not important for me.
C8 however I use for monitor mixes, so it is essential there. And I can say Sennheiser HD 280 (64ohm) and Sennheiser HD 650 (300ohm) are just as usable. If the two headphone amps are at all related, don't worry about it.
