Furman Sound HDS-16 用户指南

The HDS-16/HRM-16 Headphone/Audio 

Distribution System is the latest addition 

to the Furman Sound headphone/audio 

distribution product line. The HDS-16 

distribution device sends signals to 

one or more HRM-16 remote mixers; 

the HDS-16 and HRM-16 are sold 

separately. This new system, although 

similar to our HDS-6/HR-6 system, 

offers more channels and several 

en hanced features that better meet the 

demands of both studio and live stage 

monitoring situations. 

The HDS-16 accepts eight mono and four 

stereo inputs from a mixing console and routes 

them to each HRM-16 via a 50-pin Centron-

ics cable. This cable also transports the DC 

power to each HRM-16 so they do not require 

a power cable or “wall wart.” Each HDS-16 

has six Centronics outputs on the rear panel, 

and additional HRM-16’s can be daisy-chained 

together. A maximum of eight HRM-16’s can be 

driven from a single HDS-16. Since each HRM-

16 can drive two headphone outputs, sixteen 

musicians can be supplied with eight different 

mixes from one HDS-16. 
The HRM-16 is a 16-channel mixer with a 

powerful headphone amplifi er. It also features 

a built-in microphone and talkback system that 

allows communication between each musician 

and the mix engineer in two modes:

■

  The Live/Stage Mode (default) allows the 

HDS-16 to communicate with all HRM-16’s. All 

HRM-16’s with their TALK buttons depressed 

can communicate with the HDS-16 but not with 

other HRM-16s.

■

  The Studio Mode establishes communication 

among all HRM-16’s and the HDS-16 much 

like an intercom system. The HRM-16 user 

presses their TALK button to speak to all other 

HRM-16’s and the HDS-16. This mode en-

ables discussion between the musicians and 

mix engineer between takes. Turn to page 5 to 

see how to change modes.
