Cranbourne Audio N22H Reference-Grade Headphone Amplifier, Cat 5 Snake, and C.A.S.T. Breakout Box

Headphone Monitoring Made EasyThe Cranborne Audio N22H is a reference-grade headphone amplifier with advanced C.A.S.T. cable management, battery power, and switchable power modes. N22H works as a headphone amp that can be deployed right beside the musician where it is needed. Using the C.A.S.T. system, N22H can be connected on the end of a 100m (330ft) shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cable and provide a headphone mix directly to the musician during tracking.

Based around the same custom design found in the renowned 500R8 interface, N22H’s headphone amplifier achieves a flat Frequency Response from 0.8Hz to above 250kHz and ultra-low distortion (0.0009% THD+N, 100 kOhm load) allowing it to power headphones with clean, transparent power during crucial listening, mixing, and mastering.

At A Glance • Two balanced combi jack inputs with two balanced XLR and 1/4” jack outputs
• Compatible with any shielded Cat 5e/Cat 6/Cat 7 cable with distances up to 100m/330ft
• Improved crosstalk performance with high-performance Cat 6 and Cat 7 (recommended)
• C.A.S.T IN RRTT Port and C.A.S.T OUT TTRR Port
• 9V Battery compartment and 9V DC Power Inlet
• Reference-quality headphone amplifier

More power, more clarityThe N22H works as a standalone, reference-grade headphone amplifier. Just connect the line outputs of your audio interface, guitar pedalboard, mixer, keyboard, or outboard hardware directly into to N22H's inputs, set the 'Source' switch on N22H to 'Inputs' and you are ready to use N22H for all of your heapdhone monitoring needs! Using N22H's headphone amp instead of those built-in to devices upgrades the headphone monitoring quality of your existing setup and lets you benefit from more power and higher clean volume with a wider variety of headphones.

Pristine audio distributionC.A.S.T. uses a shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cable rather than 4 XLRs to not just reduce cable clutter in your studio but also distribute audio around studios or stages using affordable, readily available network cabling and accomplish the highest sonic results as a result of their strict design standards.

Each C.A.S.T. connection on a Cranborne Audio product features unique optimisation to deliver the maximum signal integrity transmitted over shielded Cat 5, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cables for distances of up to 100m(330ft) without high-end roll-off and with very low-crosstalk.

easy transferThe C.A.S.T. system is fully-able to transfer 48v, phantom power from a preamp to N22/N22H to power condenser microphones and DI boxes. Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 cables are created to transfer much higher voltages and current than 48v, so one C.A.S.T. cable can easily transfer up to 4 separate phantom power lines in your studio or live space.

clean, transparent powerN22H's headphone amplifier is based around same custom design found in the renowned 500R8 interface. With a flat Frequency Response from 0.8Hz to above 250kHz and ultra-low distortion (0.0009% THD+N, 100 kOhm load), it can easily power headphones with clean, transparent power - perfect for critical listening, mixing, and mastering. There’s also up to 950mW per-ear of power to drive headphones at high-volumes during tracking - ideal for loud drummers!
