I'm looking into buying the Behringer UB2442FX at some point in time, and I just have one little question about it. In the pictures the headphone output section has 2 jacks. What I'm wondering is whether these are "L+R" mono jacks, or 2 stereo jacks. If they're both mono than that obviously would not be practical when you're dealing with a headphone jack. However, if they're both seperate stereo jacks, than that's awesome. The more the marrier!
Thanks

According to the specs, it looks like two stereo headphone outs. Pretty handy at times indeed.

I own the 2442A, and yes they are 2 stereo outs for the phones. Yep, very handy indeed.

i use my mixer's Control Room outs as additional headphone outs... can this damage my equipment?

Well, I presume you then feed these monitor outs into a headphone amp of some description - right J.

If so, yeah, no worries.

Then what exactly are you feeding them to?

Good question. Odd application. Generaly, line outs are designed to drive a fairly high impediance device, such as the input to an amplifier. Headphones on the other hand are a relitively low impediance device. I would say in theory it soulds a little risky, but I do not have the specs of the line outs. Is the signal clean without any phasing distortion?

straight into whoever's working with me's headphones. It just as loud and clear as mine in the "phones" jack. works off the tape outs too (but no volume control)

Wow. Another ata-boy for Behringer! Obviously didn't skimp on the line outs. If it's clear, and not blairing, your most likely ok-fine.
