High Impedance Headphones with Irig Pro I/O?

[Daystar140]

Will the Irig Pro I/O be able to power a pair of 62 ohms headphones?

I already own the Irig, but want to order a pair of AKG 712 Pros. I need to know that they will definitely be powered by the Irig pro before I pull the trigger.

Thanks

According to the iRig Pro I/O Specs page:

Headphone Level Power 100mW into 50 Ohms

Thanks Peter. I read that but wasn't sure what it meant as in the manual for the Irig Duo (which is supposed to be a two channel version of the Pro) states " Output Impedance: 150 Ohms balanced" yet does not state the Headphone level power. The Irig pro does not state the Output Impedance clearly like this.

I find it odd that the Irig Pro is advertised as being a Professional recording and mixing tool, yet cannot power High Impedance headphones of which most quality reference headphones are.

IK Multimedia have also posted media in which the Irig Pro is used with High Impedance headphones.

For example on your official Instagram profile a photo was posted of an Irig being used with Focal high impedance headphones. There is also a Youtube review by Warren Huart in which IK Multimedia gave him and Irig to give away. In this video Warren is using the Irig Pro with with what I believe are High Impedance headphones.

Am i able to get a definitive answer as to whether these headphones will be useable with the Irig Pro.

Thanks

I cannot provide that definitive answer as I've never used those headphones with iRig Pro I/O.
