- Page 3 (obvious to some of you), and it is set for 110 volts, and you plug it into 220 volts, it will BLOW UP the supply, possibly damaging the MONOTOR. If you set it to 220 volts and plug it into 110 volts, the performance of the MONOTOR will be severely degraded.
- Page 4 Thank you for purchasing the Little Labs MONOTOR™ source analyzing professional headphone amp. The MONOTOR is designed to fulfill the need for professional monitoring at the highest resolution possible, allowing long, fatigue-free analytical listening sessions. Headphone listening amounts to 80% of what the consumer listens with today, and as the world gets more populated, this percentage will increase.
- Page 5 The Little Labs MONOTOR was designed so two people per MONOTOR (each headphone out is independently powered) could listen deep into a track at the highest resolution possible when paired with a quality set of headphones.
- Page 6 The MONOTOR, when I say it is state of the art, it truly is, and could not have been built just a year ago. I’m proud to say this is not a rehashed old analog circuit;...
- Page 7 Monotor is the Audeze LCD-X which I love the bass response of. Still, I’m partial to the neutral mid-range on the HD600. I use for tracking the closed-back Audo Technica ATH M50. I do not recommend pairing with the monotor, low impedance, super efficient, typically IEMS (but some headphones also), which can get too loud too quickly and not give you adequate volume range on the level control.

Page 11: Special Features
The highest quality level pot is no level pot, and there is no point in being redundant. A creative scenario is to feed the MONOTOR with it in the mono L+R mode selected and a cue mix from the console feeding the left channel and the artist’s mic or instrument feeding the right channel. - Page 12 As Little Labs is known for our IBP (in between phase) phase tool, phase meters frustrated me because they show that something is out of phase but not what is out of phase. The L-R function on the MONOTOR lets you easily hear the audio that’s out of phase; everything in phase between the left and right channels is attenuated by more than 45 dB.
- Page 13 One scenario to use this is if you have a client who listens to their music on their phone. While you have the MONOTOR connected to your stereo buss, they can plug in their phone and compare your mixes to...

interface specifications XLR/TRS input impedances: Measured in stereo mode with TOA ZM-104 impedance meter. Balanced signal measured between pin 2-3 xlr or tip ring trs. Balanced input impedance with level control in 5k-11k Ω* Balanced input impedance with level control out 8k Ω Un-balanced input impedance with level control in 4k-5k Ω* Un-balanced input impedance with level control out 20k Ω... - Page 15 A review of the Little Labs Monotor headphone amp came out that was all about measuring the specs. I had no dispute with most of the measurements (one notably was output impedance which I definitively measured at 0.5 Ω, the reviewer says he mea- sured 1 Ω);...
- Page 16 1dB top to bottom in the whole logarithmic scale, but if you find one with 30 steps within 1 dB, you’re doing great. The monotor pot is not a discrete stepped attenuator, but it tracks pretty damn well for what it is. Of course, you can use an IC-based potentiometer that can track perfectly, but you added another active step further from transparency.
- Page 17 Mr. Speaker Aeron (closed back), which I like a lot. I have never pushed it so loud that the monotor distorted, but I don’t dispute that you can. In my experience with headphone amps, voltage gain, which is nec- essary to drive phones to a respectable level, is far more important a spec than power output.
- Page 18 I laugh when I hear comments of the monotor being overpriced. They wouldn’t say that if they saw the BOM (bill of materials). In closing, I didn’t come here to bitch; I came here to enlighten. I appreciate the reviewer’s work, but I want to encourage the con-...
