FAQs

How many headphones can be connected simultaneously?

The Tascam MH-8 can power up to eight headphones simultaneously, one for each stereo output.

Can I control the volume for each headphone output individually?

The MH-8 itself does not feature individual volume knobs for each channel. Volume is typically controlled by the source signal or by mixing multiple inputs as needed for each channel.

What type of headphone connector does the MH-8 use?

The MH-8 uses standard 1/4" (6.3mm) headphone connectors for all eight outputs.

Can I connect multiple MH-8 units together?

Yes, the MH-8 includes foldback connectors that allow you to daisy-chain multiple units to expand your headphone distribution system.

What is the peak power output per channel?

The peak power output per channel for the Tascam MH-8 is 250mW per side.

What are the different input options available?

The MH-8 offers two stereo inputs that can be shared across outputs, plus individual stereo direct inputs for each of the eight headphone channels.

Troubleshooting

No sound from any headphones.

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the MH-8 and a working power outlet. Verify that an audio source is connected and active, and that the correct input source is selected on the MH-8 channels.

Sound only from one ear of the headphones.

Check the headphone cable connection to the MH-8. Try a different pair of headphones to rule out a headphone malfunction. Ensure the audio source is sending a proper stereo signal.

Low volume or distorted sound.

Turn up the output volume on your audio source. Ensure the input signal level is not too high, which can cause clipping and distortion. Check that the peak power rating is sufficient for your headphones' impedance.

Unable to select desired audio source.

Confirm that audio signals are being sent to the selected input jacks. Press the input selector buttons firmly to ensure they engage.
