The Headphone
Disconnector
Introducing the Headphone Disconnector. Insert it between your equipment and your headphone cable. The exclusive magnetic coupled connector is designed to release gracefully when force is applied to the cable. This prevents damage to your headphones, cables and equipment. It might even prevent injury.
The magnets have been carefully engineered for the optimum holding strength. Strong enough to stay together during normal use. But weak enough to come apart quickly in the event of excessive force. Additionally, the magnets are oriented so that the connector cannot be plugged in backwards.
Available with 1/4inch or 1/8inch (6.3mm and 3.5mm) connectors. There are even versions that can be used as adapters to convert a plug in one size to a jack in a different size. See data sheet for details.
The new Headphone Disconnector Gizmo mounts into your studio furniture for an elegant streamlined appearance. Installation is fast and easy with nothing more than a hole-saw and a screwdriver. The Disconnector Gizmo includes the mating connector for your headphones (3.5mm jack). It even includes a TRS unbalanced cable to go between your headphone jack and the rear of the Disconnector Gizmo.
Keep breaking your favorite headphones? Maybe you stepped on the cable. Or you walked away from the console with the headphones around your neck, still wired up. This happens all the time in radio studios. Finally, there’s a fix for that! The Headphone Disconnector detaches instantly when you tug on the cable. And reattaches just as quickly with its magnetic coupled connector. No more damage to your cans or your console. You’re welcome.
