Behringer Powerplay HA8000 V2 — 8-Channel Headphone Amplifier for Studio and Stage

The Behringer Powerplay HA8000 V2 is an 8-channel high-power headphone amplifier built for studio and live monitoring environments. Two independent stereo main inputs deliver mixes to every channel, while eight direct inputs—one for each channel—let every performer add a personal source. A total of sixteen 6.3 mm headphone jacks are split between the front and rear, making it possible to power 16 pairs from a single rack unit.

What Makes This Amplifier Unique

Inside one rack space, eight stereo amplifiers handle headphone loads down to 8 Ohms. The toroidal transformer and universal power supply (100–240 V) keep performance clean and quiet. On the rear, parallel main outputs let you link several units for expanded setups.

Inputs and Routing Options

Routing flexibility is a highlight of this model. Both main mixes from the rear-panel stereo inputs are available on every channel, while each direct input enables personal sources for musicians or presenters.

• Main Inputs: 2 x stereo 6.3 mm TRS — two separate mixes can be delivered to all eight output sections
• Direct input options per channel make it easy to tailor headphone mixes for click tracks or instruments in any studio or live context.

Headphone Outputs and Amplification

Every channel provides two parallel headphone jacks, so up to 16 listeners can be accommodated simultaneously. High-output amplifier stages ensure audio remains clear even at loud monitoring levels.

• Headphone Outputs: 16 x 6.3 mm TRS (8 front, 8 rear) — enough connectivity for group sessions or band rehearsals
• Minimum Load: 8 Ohms per channel — compatible with a wide range of professional headphones

Control Features, Rackmount Design, and Power Supply

On each channel strip, you'll find its own level control, mono/stereo switch, and selector for the two main inputs. The 1U 19" chassis fits standard racks, and the IEC power connector is ready for global touring.

• Form Factor: 1U 19" rackmount — integrates easily into professional setups
• Worldwide operation is possible thanks to the switching power supply (100–240 V AC via IEC), so the unit adapts to any venue.
