Yes the amp is inherently mono, but the headphone socket will be wired for stereo headphones i.e. with the mono signal duplicated to L and R. Yes I’m hoping the mono adapter will solve this issue but I would of thought a modern amp like this would not need it 🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you were Patman, I'm barking up the wrong tree, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, I was hoping you were right because I’m after a quick fix without having to send it off for repair under warranty 🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would (I think!) duplicate the working L channel of the amp to both channels of the headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitlin Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Opening the tin on something mains powered which puts voltages across your head AND has a warrantee sounds like silliness to my mind I've never heard of ANY kit since a crystal radio set that had a mono headphone socket, this this sounds like it's broken and needs to get sent back, this is quite probably the reason for the first return but it tested out ok because they didn't check the headphone socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
