11-26-25. (1) in Stock. Additional Units Available in 7-10 Days

***FULLY BUILT AND TESTED WITH WARRANTY***

The HPA500 is physically and electronically fully VPR 500 series compatible. It is an extremely powerful and musical sounding headphone amp that can make a deaf drummer's ears bleed! All of this capability and it only takes one 500 series slot. If you've been using your interface's built in headphone amp, you will hear a significant improvement using the HPA500.

The HPA500's Left input source is the rack slot's input. The HPA500's Right input source is accessed by using a XLR Female to Female Coupler plugged into the rack slot's output. This gold plated contact XLR adapter is included with the HPA500 Entire Bundle.
