Introduction
Power supply
Thank you very much for purchasing the Fostex
HP-P1.
The HP-P1 runs on the lithium-ion battery integrat-
ed with in the unit.
To ensure the best performance, read this manual
thoroughly before using the unit. Keep this manual
handy for future reference.
You can charge the battery from your personal
computer that is USB-connected to the unit.
When you purchase the unit, the battery is not
fully-charged. Therefore, it is recommended to fully
charge the battery before using.
Note that even when the battery is exhausted, you
can use the unit by USB-connecting to your per-
sonal computer.
Overview
The Fostex HP-P1 is the high performance portable
headphone amplifier featuring 32-bit stereo DAC.
It converts digital audio signals from your iPod or
iPhone into analog audio signals. The converted
analog signal is output from the headphone and
line output jacks. The DA conversion section em-
ploys the newly-developed AKM AK4480, a high
performance 32-bit stereo DAC.
The HP-P1 also features the digital-to-digital con-
version function that allows to convert iPod or
iPhone digital audio data into an S/PDIF signal and
feed it from the [S/PDIF] output.
Charging the battery
You can charge the internal battery by USB-
connecting a personal computer to the [DC-IN]
port (USB mini B) using the supplied USB mini-B to
USB A cable.
You can charge the battery even when the power of
the HP-P1 is off.
Supplied accessories

After purchasing the HP-P1, check all the accesso-
ries are included in the package.
<Memo>:Do not leave the unit in an extremely
hot place, such as an overheated car. The bat-
tery must be charged in a normal temperature
environment.

Connecting a sound source
<Memo>:
Connecting an iPod/iPhone
• When the HP-P1 is turned on, the headphone
jack of the connected iPod/iPhone is dis-
abled.
• When the analog input jack is plugged in,
the iPod/iPhone signal is not output from the
HP-P1 (the analog input signal takes priority
over the iPod/iPhone signal).
Connectable iPod/iPhone models
The following are the iPod/iPhone models con-
nectable to the HP-P1 (as of January 2011 ).
<Note>:The “connectable models” means the
models that can transfer digital audio signal
to the HP-P1 via the Dock Connector to USB
cable.
iPod touch
(the second, third and fourth generations)
Connecting an old iPod/iPhone
Some iPod/iPhone does not recognize the HP-P1
when it is connected to the HP-P1 using the sup-
plied Dock Connector to USB cable.
iPod classic
iPod nano
(the fourth, fifth and sixth generations)
In such a case, the display of the iPod/iPhone
shows the following message.
iPhone 4
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 3G
• For the latest information for connectable
iPod/iPhone models, see the Fostex website.
• If your iPod/iPhone is not listed above, see
“Connecting an old iPod/iPhone” described
below.

In this case, the iPod/iPhone audio signal cannot
be sent to the HP-P1 via the Dock Connector to
USB cable.
To send the iPod/iPhone audio signal to the HP-P1,
two methods are available.
Connect the USB (type A) port of the HP-P1 to your
iPod/iPhone using the supplied Dock Connector to
USB cable.
(1) Connect the headphone output jack of the iPod/
iPhone to the analog input jack of the HP-P1.

When the HP-P1 is connected to your iPod/iPhone
and the iPod/iPhone recognizes the HP-P1, the dis-
play of the iPod/iPhone can show the HP-P1 infor-
mation as below.
(2) Connect the Dock connector of the iPod/iPhone
to analog input jack of the HP-P1 using a “Dock

<Note>:If the display of your iPod/iPhone does
not show the HP-P1 information as above, see

low.
• With method (1) above, the iPod/iPhone digital
signal is sent to the HP-P1 via the iPod/iPhone
headphone amplifier. On the other hand, with meth-
od (2), the iPod/iPhone digital signal is directly sent
to the HP-P1 (the iPod/iPhone headphone amplifier
is bypassed).

Connecting a general audio source
Connecting a recorder or audio amplifier
By connecting an audio device that provides the
analog line output to the analog input jack of the
HP-P1, you can monitor high quality audio sound
via headphones.
Audio.device
In addition to the headphone output, the HP-P1
also provides the [LINE OUT] jack that feeds the
analog signal as well as the [S/PDIF] output jack
that feeds the S/PDIF digital signal.
By connecting a recorder or audio amplifier to ei-
ther of these jacks, you can copy iPod/iPhone au-
dio sources or monitor them from a speaker system
with fine audio quality.

<Memo>:When both the analog input jack and
USB connector (type A) are plugged in, the
signal from the analog input jack takes priority
over the iPod/iPhone signal (the iPod/iPhone
signal is not output from the HP-P1).
Using the [S/PDIF] output jack
The [S/PDIF] output jack outputs the S/PDIF digital
signal that is digital-to-digital converted from an
iPod/iPhone digital audio signal received from the
USB connector (type A). By connecting a recorder
or amplifier that provides the digital input to this
jack, you can transfer an iPod/iPhone audio source
in digital domain (without converting it to analog).
That is, you can make dubbing of iPod/iPhone
audio sources or monitor iPod/iPhone from your
speaker system with fine audio quality.

By connecting a recorder or audio amplifier to this
jack, you can make audio dubbing of your iPod/
iPhone audio sources or monitor iPod/iPhone from
