Omni TRS outs
Read the manual... which is vague about when you use the trs
searched the DUC..[which should be AUC now] I have HDN Omni dsub 1-2 [listed as "monitor" in the I/o]out to power amp I thought having "trs mirrors 1-2" would allow me to send the 1-2 to a headphone amp as well, from the back of the unit... makes sense I like the headphone dual control on the omni.. I need 2 or more headPh feeds with volume... Any ideas on how to do this? is trs send/return or just low imp out? what am I doing wrong?

Re: Omni TRS outs
You can use the TRS outputs that way, but they will still be controlled by the main volume (CR on the volume knob). So whatever you have the volume set to for your monitors (through the Dsub into your amp), the same volume and signal will be sent to the TRS outputs.
You could then boost the volume more (or lower) on the headphone amp. This is not really an ideal way to do this. The main reason for the TRS mirroring is for someone who only needs to use two outs for stereo monitors to not have to buy a d-sub cable. You have a couple of other options. One is to run a stereo 1/4 cable from the headphone out jack of the Omni to your headphone amp. You could then adjust the volume output to your headphone amp separately from the main CR output. The other way is to just use a couple of the other analog outputs (3-4, 5-6, or 7-8) as normal line outputs into your headphone amp. Doing it this way, you can set up aux sends in Protools to go to those outputs. |

Re: Omni TRS outs
My setup might work the same for you, despite the different hardware. My 003 has 8 analog outputs and I run 1&2 to Presonus Central station, which feeds both my speakers(2 sets and a sub) and the main inputs of a 6-way headphone amp. Each of the 6 sections has an AUX input to allow another input, instead of, or mixed with, the main signal(each section has a MIX knob). I use the other outputs(3 thru 8) to feed the AUX inputs. This means each player gets the main mix, PLUS, more of whatever they need by adding sends on any/all tracks. Usually, this amounts to "more me" or the drummer getting more click. It works well with 1 caveat. Since I am feeding mostly mono sends to the AUX inputs(which are actually stereo), I had to build special cables to take balanced mono(interface outputs) and make them show up on both sides of the AUX inputs(which are UNbalanced stereo). In case anybody needs to build cables, click the link below

Re: Omni TRS outs
Just as a quick check, try using the other "mirrored" outputs (7-8 I think) and send a signal to those outputs and then to your HP amp.
That might show you where your problems are...
