POWERPLAY PRO HA4400  
1. INTRODUCTION  
In purchasing the new POWERPLAY PRO HA4400, you have acquired a headphone amplifier of the high-end  
class which meets all the demands and requirements of studio work. Due to its extensive functions and the  
new design the POWERPLAY PRO is an extremely efficient and universal headphone amplifier. It has been  
designed above all as a reference unit for the sonic evaluation of the final mix as well as a distribution monitor  
amplifier for musicians in the studio.  
The unit features switching possibilities and a sound quality few headphone amplifiers can offer. Apart from its  
extremely powerful amplifiers the unit also offers a ingenious signal distribution system.  
Advanced BEHRINGER Technology  
Since its announcement of the first POWERPLAY several years ago, it has caused a sensation. This high-end  
headphone amplifier is based on our many years of experience and discoveries in the field of professional  
studio technology. The POWERPLAY finds widespread application throughout the world, in renowned studios,  
sound reinforcement systems as well as in broadcast and TV studios.  
The task to improve our famous POWERPLAY was a big challenge. We are very proud that we succeeded.  
Compared to its predecessors, the POWERPLAY PRO offers several advanced features and we have suc-  
ceeded in dramatically refining the audio qualities. The unit features now additional XLR input and output  
connectors and LED displays for each channel, which give you exact information about the output gain.  
Moreover, there is an input level meter, which helps you to set up the correct level.  
State-of-the-art production processes  
For the first time ever, the POWERPLAY PRO is now manufactured with SMD components (Surface Mount  
Device). Using these sub-miniature components known from aeronautics does not only ensure extreme pack-  
ing densities, but also improves the POWERPLAY PRO’s reliability.  
The additional AUX input  
In addition to its high-quality amplifiers, the POWERPLAY features a variety of professional switching and  
mixing options: each of the four stereo amplifiers is equipped with an independent AUX input, which allows for  
adding a further audio signal to the master signal. The musician can therefore control the volume of his/her own  
instrument in the master playback signal as desired. This built-in mix function supersedes the external monitor  
mixer required up to now.  
The BEHRINGER distribution matrix  
A extremely interesting feature is the intelligent and clearly arranged distribution matrix which allows each  
channel to be switched over from stereo to mono whilst activating the mute function of the left and/or right input  
signal source.  
In mono mode, two different mixes can be fed into the left and right MAIN inputs on the rear panel. By muting  
a channel, the signal of the channel which is not muted will appear on BOTH headphone pads. Thus, two  
completely different mixes can be routed to the headphone set in mono mode.  
In stereo mode, any muting action in a particular channel automatically mutes the corresponding headphone  
output. As a consequence, it is possible to route the playback signal, for instance, to the left channel only, so  
that the vocalist can hear his/her voice directly via the right channel of the headphones. So moving the unused  
headphone pad away from the ear – uncomfortable but common practice up to now – will be a thing of the past.  
MAIN output jacks are available to link several headphone amps, or to control external power amplifiers.  
All power amplifiers are equipped with front and rear panel headphone outputs. Even if the unit is permanently  
installed in a rack with fixed cabling, additional headphones can be connected without difficulties, which allows  
for pre-monitoring the individual mixes for the musicians. Each power amplifier features three parallel output  
connectors for the connection of up to three headphone sets per amplifier, or a maximum of 12 headphones per  
unit.  
The DIRECT IN input  
A so-called DIRECT IN connector can be found on the front panel. For instance, it is often necessary to replay  
a song for the musicians in the studio via a cassette recorder. This can be done easily and rapidly using the  
DIRECT IN connector. When using this input, the master signal applied on the rear panel will be interrupted  
automatically.

1. INTRODUCTION  
 
POWERPLAY PRO HA4400  
WARNING!  
+
+
It should be pointed out, that extreme output volumes may damage your ears and/or your  
headphone set. Turn down the LEVEL controls before you switch on the unit.  
The following operational manual will introduce you to the BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO  
and its various functions. After reading the manual carefully, make sure it is always on hand  
for future reference.  
2. THE DESIGN CONCEPT  
2.1 High quality components and design  
The philosophy behind BEHRINGER products guarantees a no-compromise circuit design and employs the  
best choice of components. The operational amplifiers NJM4580 which are used in the POWERPLAY PRO,  
are exceptional. They boast extreme linearity and very low distortion characteristics. To complement this  
design the choice of components includes high tolerance resistors and capacitors, detent potentiometers and  
several other stringently selected elements.  
2.2 Inputs and outputs  
2.2.1 Balanced MAIN inputs  
As standard, the BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO is installed with electronically servo-balanced MAIN  
inputs. The new circuit design features automatic hum and noise reduction for balanced signals and thus  
allows for trouble-free operation, even at high operating levels. Externally induced mains hum etc. will be  
effectively suppressed. The automatic servo-function recognizes the presence of unbalanced connectors and  
adjusts the nominal level internally to avoid level differences between the input and output signals (correction  
6 dB).  
3. INSTALLATION  
Your BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging was designed  
to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging  
and ist contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred in transit.  
+
If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to us, but notify your dealer and the shipping  
company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted.  
Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.  
3.1 Rack mounting  
The BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO fits into one standard 19" rack unit of space (1 3/4"). Please allow at  
least an additional 4" depth for the connectors on the back panel. Be sure that there is enough air space  
around the unit for cooling and please do not place the POWERPLAY PRO on high temperature devices such  
as power amplifiers etc. to avoid overheating.  
3.2 Mains voltage  
Before you connect your POWERPLAY PRO to the mains, please make sure that your local voltage  
matches the voltage required by the unit! The fuse holder on the female mains connector has 3 triangular  
markers, with two of these triangles opposing each other. Your POWERPLAY PRO is set to the operating  
voltage printed next to these markers, and can be set to another voltage by turning the fuse holder by 180°.  
CAUTION: this instruction does not apply to export models exclusively designed, e.g. for 115 V  
operation!  
2. THE DESIGN CONCEPT

The DIRECT IN stereo input is used to apply the signals coming from an external source. When using  
the DIRECT IN input, the MAIN signal applied on the rear panel is interrupted automatically (fig. 3.2).  
The INPUT LEVEL control adjusts the level of the input signal inserted via the rear panel MAIN INPUT  
or DIRECT IN connectors.  
The 4-digit INPUT LEVEL meter informs you about the current input level within a range from -24 dBu  
to +6 dBu.  
The HEADPHONE OUT is connected in parallel to the rear panel output connectors, and provides an  
additional option to monitor the individual channels. When the unit is permanently installed in rack, this  
proves to be a useful function.

5. APPLICATION  
5.1 Using the main inputs  
Connect a program source to the rear panel MAIN inputs and connect the headphone cable to one of the  
appropriate outputs. Turn up the INPUT LEVEL and the BALANCE controls to center position. The INPUT  
LEVEL control is used to increase or decrease the general volume of all headphones controlled via the MAIN  
inputs, while the individual OUTPUT LEVEL controls are used to adjust the desired channel volume.  
5.2 Using the AUX IN inputs  
Basically, the AUX IN inputs are used to add an additional input signal to the master signal, with the corre-  
sponding BALANCE control determining the volume ratio between the two signals. The aux function supercedes  
the previously required monitor mixer and allows for an application that is frequently used in practice.  
Example: suppose a vocalist wants to record a vocal track that is to be added to already existing instrumental  
tracks. Up to now, it has been common practice that the vocalist listens to the playback by pressing a  
headphone pad against one ear, while controlling his/her own voice with the other – free – ear.  
This kind of application can be achieved much more easily and conveniently with the POWERPLAY PRO.  
The playback signal is inserted via the MAIN inputs, and the preamplified vocal signal is applied to the AUX  
connector. The associated BALANCE control is adjusted so that the vocalist hears a perfect mix of both  
backing tracks and vocals, with the OUTPUT LEVEL control determining the overall volume level.  
Owing to the four independent channels of the POWERPLAY PRO, four individual mixes for four musicians can  
be achieved. If this is not enough, you can interface and link any number of POWERPLAY PROs using the  
MAIN outputs.  
5. APPLICATION

Fig. 5.1: Example of a studio playback application  
5.2.1 Using the amplifiers as independent power amplifiers  
In addition to the joint control of all channels via the MAIN input, each of the four power amplifiers can also be  
used independently. The AUX IN inputs in combination with the BALANCE controls serve this purpose.  
If the BALANCE control is set to its clockwise stop position (position “AUX“), the MAIN signal is muted; only  
the input signals applied to the AUX IN input are routed to the power amplifier. By configuring the amplifiers as  
completely independent power amplifiers, you can insert up to four independent stereo programme sources;  
thus, four different and individual mixes for up to four musicians can be created. As with a stage monitor  
system, you can give each musician a specific configuration of instruments and create a personal mix for him  
or her that is musically inspiring. Or you can set up different signal paths for the interpreters in a conference  
system.  
Configure sub-groups or create pre-mixes using the effects and/or monitor facilities of your mixing console.  
Fully turn up the BALANCE control and connect the AUX inputs of the BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO to the  
corresponding monitor, sub-group or single outputs of the mixer.

5. APPLICATION  
 
POWERPLAY PRO HA4400  
5.3 Using the DIRECT IN input  
The DIRECT IN connector can be found on the left side of the front panel. For instance, it is often necessary to  
replay a song for the musicians in the studio via a cassette recorder. This can be done easily and rapidly using  
the DIRECT IN connector. When using this input, the signal applied to the rear panel MAIN INPUT connector  
is bypassed automatically.  
Fig. 5.3: Playback via the DIRECT IN connector  
5.4 Using the mono function  
The MONO switch allows for mono operation, i.e., linked operation of the left and right channels, without having  
to use a “Y-adapter” or special cables.  
In certain monitor applications, especially for live stage operation, a stereo programme may have a confusing  
effect, so the conversion into a mono signal leads to better transmission quality. In particular, this negative  
effect becomes obvious when the channel separation between the two channels is considerable, i.e., when  
they contain different information with differing volume levels.  
5.5 Using the mute function  
The mute function of the individual input sources is a special feature of the BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO.  
Depending on the position of the MONO switch, it offers two highly useful routing options:  
5.5.1 The mute function in mono mode  
When the MONO switch is pressed, the unit operates in mono mode. In this case, the two input signals are  
combined and the resulting mono signal is fed into the left and right headphone outputs.  
By pressing one of the two MUTE switches, the corresponding input source (left or right input) is muted and the  
input signal which is not muted appears on BOTH headphone outputs (left and right). This routing option allows  
for the selection of two different programmes which are fed into the left and right input by muting the unwanted  
input source.  
5.5.2 The mute function in stereo mode  
The mute function is also very useful if playback is to be combined with simultaneous recording of a vocal  
track. Up to now, vocalists have been forced to move one headphone pad away from the ear while recording, in  
order to hear their own voice clearly.  
Now, the BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO can mute the unused headphone channel in stereo mode. So  
moving the unused headphone pad away from the ear – uncomfortable but common practice – will be a thing of  
the past.  
5. APPLICATION  
13  
 
POWERPLAY PRO HA4400  
5.6 Connecting multiple headphones  
All of the four stereo amplifiers feature one front and one rear panel headphone output connector. Multiple  
headphones can be connected per channel, on condition that the resulting connection impedance does not fall  
below 100 Ohms. As the power amplifiers are resistant to temporary short circuits, an impedance drop will not  
cause any damage, however, it can affect the quality of reproduction, in terms of long-term damage and  
distortion.  
Additional headphones can be connected to the front panel headphone outputs, even if the unit is installed in  
a rack with fixed cabling. If you wish to connect more than three headphones per amplifier, it is advisable to use  
a split box or appropriate “Y“ cables. Please find additional information on how to connect the headphones in  
chapter 3, and note that the minimum connection impedance of 100 Ohms is maintained.
