Introdução
Image: The Radial Reamp HP Passivo Reamping Device, a compact black box with white lettering for "Reamp HP Studio Reamper" and "Radial Engineering" logo. It features input and output jacks, a level knob, and switches for mono and ground lift.
O Radial Reamp HP is a flexible, passive reamping device designed to convert a line-level signal from a headphone output into an instrument-level signal suitable for reamping through guitar amplifiers, pedals, or other instrument-level equipment. This device allows engineers and musicians to re-record tracks through different setups without needing to re-perform the original part, offering creative flexibility and time-saving benefits in the studio.
It features inputs for both 1/4-inch and 3.5mm plugs, making it compatible with a wide range of audio interfaces, smartphones, and tablets. The built-in isolation transformer and ground lift switch help eliminate noise and hum, ensuring a clean signal path.
Características
- Passive ReampDispositivo de instalação: Converts line-level signals to instrument-level without requiring external power.
- 1/4" and 3.5mm Inputs: Versatile connectivity for audio interfaces, smartphones, and tablets.
- Transformador de isolamento: Helps eliminate ground loops and noise.
- Interruptor de Elevação do Solo: Further reduces hum and buzz from ground loop issues.
- Chave Mono: Allows summing stereo headphone outputs to a mono signal for reampindo.
- Controle de nível: Adjustable output level to fine-tune the signal sent to the amplifier or pedal.
Configurar
Before connecting the Reamp HP, ensure all audio equipment is powered off to prevent potential damage from sudden signal spikes.
Conectando a uma interface de áudio
- Connect the headphone output of your audio interface to the 1/4" INPUT or 3.5mm MINI IN jack on the Reamp HP. Use the appropriate cable (TRS 1/4" or 3.5mm stereo cable).
- Connect the OUTPUT of the Reamp HP to the input of your guitar amplifier, effects pedal chain, or instrument-level input on another device using a standard 1/4" TS instrument cable.
- If your audio interface's headphone output is stereo and you wish to reamp a mono signal, engage the MONO switch on the Reamp HP. This sums the stereo signal to mono.
- Adjust the LEVEL knob on the Reamp HP to control the signal strength sent to your amplifier or pedals. Start with the knob fully counter-clockwise and slowly increase it.
- If you experience hum or buzz, try engaging the LIFT switch. This disconnects the ground connection between the Reamp HP and the connected equipment, often resolving ground loop issues.

The Reamp HP's output goes through a pedalboard to a guitar amplifier, which is then miked and returned to the audio interface. This visualizes the complete reamping chain.
Conectando a um smartphone ou tablet
- Connect the headphone output of your smartphone or tablet to the 3.5mm MINI IN jack on the Reamp HP using a standard 3.5mm stereo cable.
- Connect the OUTPUT of the Reamp HP to the input of your guitar amplifier or effects pedal chain.
- Engage the MONO switch if you are reamping a mono signal from a stereo source.
- Adjust the LEVEL knob on the Reamp HP and the volume on your smartphone/tablet to achieve the desired signal level.
- Use the LIFT switch if ground hum is present.

Operating the Reamp HP
O Radial Reamp HP is designed for straightforward operation. Once connected, its primary function is to convert the signal and provide necessary impedance matching and ground isolation.
- Input (1/4" and 3.5mm Mini In): These are the inputs for your line-level source (e.g., headphone output of an audio interface, smartphone, or tablet).
- Chave Mono: When engaged, this switch sums the left and right channels of a stereo input into a single mono signal. This is crucial when reamping a stereo track through a mono amplifier or pedal.
- Botão de nível: This control adjusts the output level of the Reamp HP. Use it to fine-tune the signal sent to your amplifier or effects pedals, ensuring optimal gain staging and preventing clipping.
- Lift Switch: This is a ground lift switch. If you encounter hum or buzz in your audio signal, engaging this switch can break a ground loop, often resolving the noise.
- Saída: This 1/4" TS output delivers the reamped instrument-level signal to your amplifier, pedalboard, or other instrument-level input.

Manutenção
O Radial Reamp HP is a passive device designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Following these guidelines will help ensure its longevity:
- Limpeza: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the unit. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- Armazenar: Guarde o aparelho em local fresco e seco, longe da luz solar direta e de temperaturas extremas.
- Manuseio: While robust, avoid dropping the unit or subjecting it to severe impacts, which could damage internal circuitry or connectors.
- Conexões: Periodically check all cable connections for wear and tear. Ensure cables are securely plugged in but do not overtighten.
