Poor headphone sound Helix Stadium


 Share

Recommended Posts

Brand new Helix Stadium and I’m finding the headphone performance to be subpar compared to my Helix LT.  I am using a pair of Marantz phones, 32 ohm impedance.  Are the headphone amplifiers different in these units or is this a bug?

 

Please advise, thank you.

I did not notice any difference using my Beyer Dynamic DT990 phones so I don’t think it’s a bug. Mine are 250 ohm impedance. Not sure that would be the difference, though, since your phones were satisfactory with the LT. Might be a hardware issue with the phones jack/circuitry in your device. You could open a support ticket.

matthewayers77,

 

You've probably already checked, but to be safe ... have you adjusted the output to the headphone via the matrix levels?
