Detail 01

ArtHeadTap Headphone Tap
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single-purpose box that taps an existing signal off to headphones. For engineers and players who need a monitoring feed without rewiring the whole chain.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a headphone listen point to an existing signal path
- Quiet practice off a rig you already run
- Checking a feed by ear without disturbing the main output
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting tone shaping — this routes, it does not process
- Players needing wireless in-ear monitoring on stage
- Someone who only needs a longer headphone extension cable
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Headphone tap, not a headphone amp
It derives a listening feed from a signal already present rather than generating its own drive stage.
Detail 03
150 ohm range
Sits in the middle of common headphone impedances. Low-impedance earbuds and 250-600 ohm studio cans behave differently here.
Detail 04
$84.99, no tone controls
You are paying for a clean monitoring point. Budget separately for anything that shapes the sound.
Detail 05
Black chassis
Disappears in a dark rack or under a desk. Label it if you run several small utility boxes together.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your source's connector type and level before ordering patch cables
- 02Confirm your headphones sound loud enough near the 150 ohm range
- 03Plan a mounting or resting spot; small utility boxes wander off
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this drive high-impedance studio headphones?
The 150 ohm input impedance sets the load it presents, not its output power. High-impedance cans such as 250 or 600 ohm models will play quieter than low-impedance pairs.
02Does it change my tone?
It is a monitoring tap, not a processor. There are no EQ, gain, or effects controls, so anything you hear comes from the signal you feed it.
03Can two people listen at once?
Plan on one listening point per unit. For multiple performers on separate feeds, a dedicated multi-output headphone distribution amp is the better fit.
04Do I need cables with it?
Yes, plan on patch cables plus your own headphones. Match the connector type and length to where the box sits in your setup.
