Powerful, Cost-effective Personal Monitoring

The Hear Technologies Hear Back OCTO Four Pack is an all-inclusive personal monitor package. Four Hear Back OCTO Mixers provide each musician with up to eight input channels. A Hear Back OCTO Hub supplies signal and power to each mixer and can accommodate an additional four (sold separately), for a total of eight. And because the Hub is daisy-chainable, this personal monitor package offers almost unlimited expandability. The OCTO Four Pack includes enough cables to hook everything up, along with a mixer bag. If you're looking for powerful, cost-effective personal monitoring, the OCTO Four Pack delivers.

Rated 5/5

Everything works beautifully!

The HearBack system gives great flexibility for musicians/vocalists in the studio to configure their own specific mix during recording. It saves session set up time and frustration. It is a definite plus in helping the performer fell more comfortable to focus on their best performance.

I ran a 50ft ADAT cable from my Apollo X8p in the control room to the HearBack Hub in the studio. I have 4 mixers via Ethernet off the Hub.

For easy session setup, I created a new song template in my DAW with 7 Busses… Drums (stereo) | Acoustic Guitars | Electric Guitars | Bass | Vox | Keyboard/Other | Talkback/Click (all mono). Each Bus "Send" is assigned to specific DAW outputs that corresponds to the channels of the HearBack Hub via ADAT cable.

A big shout out and Thanks to Cato Zane from YouTube, who's instructions made it easy to set up with my DAW.

Studio game changer.

This is one of those things that I should have bought ages ago. For years I put it off simply because of the price. I spent years making headphone mixes for people, trying different "workarounds," using the software in my interface, using an analogue mixer with several sends- and it was always unsatisfactory and a pain in the neck. If you've worked in a studio that has individual mixers for headphones, you know how great it is for the musician, and it's just as great for the engineer. The first time I used this system on a session, my studio life changed for the better and my stress level went down to nothing. I was working with a group I've worked with many times before. They're an acoustic group and they often sing while they play. I could tell right away that the Hear Back system had made it easier for them as well as me. Their performance level went up a few notches right off the bat and they all agreed it was a game changer. On top of that, the system is easy to set up, and the mixers can be as far as 200 feet from the hub with no loss of quality. I'm never going back. For its ease of set up and use, and the benefits it provides, it is worth every single penny. I also like how simple it is compared to some other systems. Highly recommended.
