We have a rack of mixed Sennheiser Evolution wireless receivers (Ew100 G3s and G2s, and EW300 G3s). The EW300 G3s have an integrated 1/4" jack for headphone monitoring with a volume control, while the EW100s do not. I was originally going to replace all of the EW100 receivers with 300 or 500 series receivers (and may still do so as I like the AW1 range on the new G4 systems), but I was considering the following plan in the meantime:
The EW100s do have both XLR and 1/4" TRS outputs on the back, and I've determined that they will both work simultaneously, however at slightly different volumes (about 5db of difference between them). I am thinking of running the XLRs to our PA system, then borrowing the 1/4" TRS outputs and running them to a rackmounted headphone amplifier, like this one: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/sterling-audio-factory-blemished-s418ha-8-channel-rackmount-headphone-amplifier?pdpSearchTerm=headphone amplifiers#productDetail
Will this work effectively to give us similar monitoring functionality to the built-in jacks on the 300 series receivers?
