Henry Engineering Minipod Maxx

High-Powered Stereo Headphone Amp for Studios and Commercial Installs

The Henry Engineering MINIPOD MAXX is a compact, high-output stereo headphone amplifier designed for broadcast studios, commercial sound systems, and professional audio environments where multiple listeners need clean, powerful audio. It’s the next-generation version of the original MiniPod, offering significant performance upgrades while retaining the small form factor and versatility that made the original a staple in studio installations.

Enhanced Output for Better Audio Headroom and Clarity

With four times the output of its predecessor, the MINIPOD MAXX delivers extended headroom and dynamic range for headphones. This makes it well-suited for demanding broadcast applications and critical listening environments. The amplifier design removes all electrolytic capacitors from the signal path, resulting in cleaner audio reproduction, tight bass, and minimal harmonic distortion.

Modular Design Allows Daisy-Chaining for Multiple Users

Ideal for multi-user setups, the MINIPOD MAXX can be daisy-chained with other units using Cat5 cabling. This streamlines your installation by distributing both audio and power through a single cable run. Whether you're outfitting multiple broadcast booths or a row of editing suites, you can expand the system efficiently without needing extra power supplies or signal distribution amps.

Flexible Routing Options for Customized Audio Feeds

Not every listening station needs the same program audio. The MINIPOD MAXX supports isolated unit routing, giving you the flexibility to direct different audio feeds to individual headphone amps in a chain. This makes it a practical solution for setups requiring tailored audio content—such as language interpretation booths, training rooms, or interview setups.

Reliable Construction with Audiophile-Grade Performance

Engineered for consistent performance and long-term reliability, the MINIPOD MAXX features a rugged enclosure and internal circuitry optimized for low distortion and fast transient response. It’s a plug-and-play solution for pro audio engineers who demand fidelity, simplicity, and scalability in their headphone distribution systems.

Compact Form Factor Perfect for Tight Spaces

Measuring small enough to fit just about anywhere, the MINIPOD MAXX integrates easily into your desk, rack, or custom panel layout. It’s designed to be unobtrusive in appearance, but powerful in operation, offering the kind of performance typically reserved for full-sized headphone amps in a far more efficient package.
