Hi
I just got the Behringer HA400 amplifier. It has 4-channels for headphones and an input. The input and the channels are 1/4" holes. Anyways, after only a few hours of usage, my headphones do not work anymore like they used to and are fried I think. It's a shame because I just got done modifying them. The highs are gone, and I can hardly hear any mids at all. Anyways, I was wondering if it was the amp or something I did. I had a 1/4" connector going from the input on the amp to 2 of the mono 3.5mm plugs going into the front speaker out/center speaker and sub inputs on my soundcard. Then I used the 1/4 adapter on the ad700's and plug that into a slot. It worked like a normal amp for a while, then my headphones just didn't work like they used to. Should I have used a single 3.5mm going into the soundcard instead of 2 mono ones? It seemed just one mono plug worked fine when it was plugged into the headphones which was wierd because its mono but both channels were working. I left the other one hooked up though. Could this be my problem? I wouldn't like to send it back because it did work good for a little while. Do you think I blew the speaker drivers because only one mono plug was working at the time? If I continue to use the amp, should I just get a single 3.5mm plug and hook it into the Line in spot on my soundcard? Thanks and would like some replies ASAP!
