Manufacturer's Description from Fredenstein

The F605 is a high performance professional headphone amplifier, offering an effective headphone volume control for live or studio applications in combination with a Fredenstein Bento rack. The Bento racks provide two inputs per slot so stereo modules are possible.

 

5 toggle switches to provide convenient monitor modes. The top switch simply swaps Left and Right. The next two toggles select Left or Right and present them as mono to the phones. We often use these to compare two mono sources. The bottom two switches simply reverse the polarity (phase) of each of the outputs. These switches are most useful for vocalists, where there may be some phase change between the voice heard by bone conduction and the entire recording path of microphone, pre-amp, processing and possibly converters.

 

The F605 features balanced inputs, extended signal manipulation and a low output impedance to connect headphones from 20 Ohms to 600 Ohms. It is an unusual module compared to typical 500 series offerings, but it is remarkably useful in real world daily use. How many times have you wanted a pair of phones at the outboard rack or a pair dedicated to monitoring one thing or a separate feed for the producer or talent?

About Manufacturer

Think about what is sonically missing in today's audio equipment and how you could achieve better results in recording and mastering? Now, many go back to well proven classic pieces of audio gear to fight the shortcomings of digital recording. Could that be the ultimate solution? Did the improvements in technology during the last 50 years really don't apply to recording? Using technologies from vacuum tubes to Digital Signal Processors, often in the same product, Fredenstein products combine the strength of each technology and avoiding their weaknesses. In addition we strongly believe in Zero-Negative-Feedback, negative feedback is a technique to make amplifiers more linear, but at the same time making them sounding harsh. This is one of the reasons modern equipment sounds so similar. Omitting negative feedback and using an internally and externally balanced designs which are very linear by design will yield a natural sound on a different level, warm, not dull or muffled, instead with a rich silky top-end and an impulse response will simply blow you away. Don't get us wrong, we are not talking about 「esoteric designs」, we believe very strongly in a scientific engineering approach.

 

We also provide pieces of long neglected equipment like precision analog meters. Even if you are working mostly inside the 「box」, metering your analog signal before it hits your converters is still very important and a great foundation for good recording. Fredenstein's state-of-the-art audio technology will help you throughout your chain to achieve truly outstanding results.

In addition, Fredenstein believes recording engineers deserve to have a more user friendly, more convenient and efficient pieces of equipment making the studio life easier and generate a more comfortable working environment. By minimizing the number of buttons and switches without sacrificing the functionality we deploy a clean user interface allowing you to get instantaneously familiar with the products.

Fredenstein Professional Audio Products are designed for audio professional in recording and broadcast studios as well as independent engineers and producers in their own facilities.

Fredenstein is focused to make a difference in Professional Audio. You can expect superior sound and high-end built quality from each of our products
