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.

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

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  
connector to mini phone plug” cable available in  
the market.

<Note>:If the display of your iPod/iPhone does  
not show the HP-P1 information as above, see  
“Connecting an old iPod/iPhone” described be-  
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.  
Analog

<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.

Using the [LINE OUT] jack  
The [LINE OUT] jack outputs an analog audio sig-

audio signal or that is fed to the analog input jack.  
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
