Overview

The Samson QH4 headphone amplifier bundle is a turnkey monitoring solution designed for home studios, project studios, rehearsal spaces, and podcasting setups where multiple people need to hear the same audio feed simultaneously. The QH4 amplifier provides four independent stereo headphone channels, each with its own volume knob, so every listener can dial in a comfortable level without affecting anyone else. Inputs include two balanced 1/4-inch connectors for professional audio sources like mixers and interfaces, plus a stereo 1/8-inch aux input for connecting laptops, phones, or portable media players. A master mute switch silences all outputs instantly, and the mono-summing switch is a useful tool for checking stereo mixes in mono.

The four included Samson SR950 Professional Studio Reference Headphones feature a closed-back design that minimizes sound leakage and outside noise — important in recording environments where open-back bleed could reach sensitive microphones. Each pair is built around 50mm drivers with a 10Hz to 30kHz frequency response and 32-ohm impedance, delivering detailed audio across the full spectrum. The self-adjusting headband accommodates different head sizes without manual fiddling, keeping setup time minimal when rotating between users. Two Hosa CPP105 1/4-inch to 1/4-inch cables complete the package, providing the connections needed to get audio from your source into the amplifier right out of the box.
