A range of headphone amplifiers with Dante audio input, from Glensound. Designed for use in studio or broadcast, this range includes headphone amplifiers can be portable, desk or permanently wall mounted.
Ordering note: The standard versions listed below feature a front panel pot range of -20 to +10dB. The same units can be ordered as a special order with a pot range of -70 to +10dB. Please contact our Sales team for more information.
Powered over PoE, Glensound Virgil studio headphone amplifier with Dante audio inputs is designed for permanent install into studio, production room, or stadium commentary box. Two audio channels can be received from a Dante network with one sent to the left and the other to the right channel of the headphone amplifier. A volume pot on the front facing panel allows the user to determine the audio level send to the headphones. As the volume pot allows adjustment from -20 to +10dB it’s worth noting the audio signals will never be turned completely off. Instead they can always be heard, at worst at low volume, so that important announcements aren’t missed. If the user wishes to have the volume turned off, a hardware soldering job can be done on the internal PCB. Otherwise a -70 to +10dB version can be purchased as a special order item.
The rear facing panel houses RJ45 network connection for Dante audio and PoE, and a dual purpose 5V USB socket that can be used to power the Virgil from a compatible USB power adapter, or upload new firmware if required.
The front facing panel of the headphone amplifier features the rotary volume controller, 6.35mm and 3.5mm headphone jack outputs, and ‘bright’ blue LED signifying power.

Virgil OB also has the same feature set as Virgil, however it is housed in a ‘robust but lightweight’ aluminium casing and beltclip for ‘life on the road’.
Virgil OB also includes two analogue link outputs on 3-pin XLR. These outputs can be switched from pre/post-fade of the front panel rotary volume controller.
