- Page 4 Thank you for purchasing the Little Labs MONOTOR™ source analyzing professional headphone amp. The MONOTOR is designed to fulfill the need for professional monitoring at the highest resolution possible, allowing you long fatigue-free analytical listening sessions. Headphone listening amounts for 80% of what the consumer listens with today, and as the world gets more populated, this percentage will increase.
- Page 5 The Little Labs MONOTOR was designed so two people per MONOTOR (each headphone out is independently powered) could listen deep into a track at the highest resolution possible when paired with a quality set of headphones.
- Page 6 The Little Labs MONOTOR is designed with what I call a zen circuit topology. Only a single state of the art active stage is used at its optimum gain, in the circuit path of each headphone ear, with all else, straight wire passive (this includes all the mono functions as well).
- Page 7 I should note here the only devices I do not reccomend for pairing with the monotor are super duper efficient, typically IEMS, which get too loud too quick and will not give you adequate volume range on the level control.

Then on the left channel bypass the level control, so you control that lev- el from your console, and the artist can use the level on the MONOTOR for a simple more me or less me volume control. - Page 12 As Little labs is known for our IBP (in between phase) phase tool, phase meters frustrated me because they show that something is out of phase, but not what is out of phase. The L-R function on the MONOTOR lets you easily hear the audio that’s out of phase, everything in phase between the left and right channels is attenuated by more than 45dB.
- Page 13 Even a super cheap behringer micromon ma400 can be used to split out to mul- tiple MONOTOR stereo aux ins with a mini splitter like a belkin rockstar multi headphone splitter. Cheap yet very effective.

Page 14: Interface Specifications
interface specifications XLR/TRS input impedances: Measured in stereo mode with TOA ZM-104 impedance meter. Balanced signal measured between pin 2-3 xlr or tip ring trs. Balanced input impedance with level control in 5k-11k Ω* Balanced input impedance with level control out 8k Ω Un balanced input impedance with level control in 4k-5k Ω* Un balanced input impedance with level control out 20k Ω... - Page 15 A review of the Little Labs Monotor headphone amp came out that was all about measuring the specs. I had no dispute with most of the measurements (one notably was output impedance which I definitively measured at 0.5 Ω, the reviewer says he mea- sured 1 Ω), I did, however, disagree strongly with the conclu-...
- Page 16 1dB top to bottom in the whole logarithmic scale, but if you find one that has 30 steps within 1dB you’re doing great. The monotor pot is not a discrete stepped attenuator, but it tracks pretty damn well for what it is.
- Page 17 IEMS. Some IEMS are crazy sensitive, those IEMs I do not recom- mend with the monotor. The monotor is not a one size fits all, you don’t use a Porsche for off-roading now, do you? That being said I have some drummer friends that love it super loud and use the monotor on stage to power their IEMS, they couldn’t be...
- Page 18 None of these components add to what can be measured, but definitely bring you closer to the source sonically, and makes the unit more costly. I laugh when I hear comments of the monotor being overpriced. They wouldn’t say that if they saw the BOM (bill of materials).
