RDL DB-HA1A – Format-A Stereo Headphone Amplifier

The RDL DB-HA1A is a professional stereo headphone amplifier designed for use in Format-A twisted pair systems. Wall- or panel-mounted, it provides local headphone listening from audio signals transmitted over CATx cable from a Format-A sender. It is ideal for hospitality, education, and commercial installations such as bedside or restroom listening stations.

The module receives stereo audio on pairs B and C and 24 V DC power via a rear-panel RJ45 jack. A high-quality stereo headphone amplifier ensures excellent audio fidelity and low noise. The front panel features a 3.5 mm mini-jack output and a user volume control. The unit has no illuminated indicators, making it suitable for dark environments.

Two RJ45 jacks allow daisy-chaining with additional Format-A receivers. The module is protected by an automatically resetting fuse. Its all-metal Decora®-style housing ensures durability and a professional appearance.
