Is there a pre-amp for a microphone that can also be used to power headphones?

yellowcab · 22nd March 2011

I may be using the wrong terms but I can't seem to find the answer to this question. I was close to pulling the trigger on some travagans to amplify my headphones : REVIEW: Travagans "Green", "Red" and "White" with "Colors" thrown in for good measure. Update: Travagans Black - Head-Fi.org Community. But, I also needed a pre-amp for my microphone. So please point me in the right direction if this question has been answered. Thank you!

Understanding the difference between a preamp and a headphone amp....have you done a bit of research into these types of gear? Look up a few models of each, read their respective user manuals, etc.

Not a dig at all, it just sounds like you've got a lot to learn and could benefit from reading up on some specs and details.

Good luck.

The Focusrite ISA One is supposed to be pretty cool and from what I understand you can also use it with headphones.

I have not used it.

ISA One Mic Pres Classic Single-channel Microphone Pre-amplifier with Independent D.I.
