bassmansam Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Long story short my Behringer Powerplay headphone jack is broken and I'm wondering if I can use the line out left/right with an adaptor cable?

itu Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Phones is an output with powerful enough amp to drive headphones. Line output is designed to drive an amp input, and its level may be adjustable, or not. It has not power to drive headphones. Maybe you will hear something but the level is really low. You would need an extra amp between the unit and the headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itu Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Definitely not. It is not so uncommon that headphone amps have some intentional tone colouring. Line out is by definition very honest to the source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
