Due to its specific, variable, low-noise and low-distortion circuit design especially optimized for dynamic headphones, the HPA V200 fulfils even most sophisticated demands.

LOW-NOISE because of low internal gain. Therefore the self generated noise from the amplifier is not audible.

HIGH OUTPUT VOLTAGE through 60 Volt internal operating voltage. Therefore best suited for high impedance headphones. Over 90 % of all headphone amplifiers in the market offer not half that voltage !!!

HIGH OUTPUT POWER because of powerful amplifiers able to deliver much more current a headphone needs. Therefore best suited for low impedance headphones and even magnetostatic cans !!!

HIGH DAMPING FACTOR through lowest output impedance. Therefore best suited for full control even over critical headphones with the guarantee to have flattest possible response.

The inputs and outputs are situated on the rear panel, they are equipped with electronically balanced gold plated XLR connectors and unbalanced gold plated RCA connectors. A USB input allows direct connection to a PC. Volume control is provided with a high-grade ALPS RK 27 pot with a large full metal rotary knob. Two headphones may be connected via 1/4" jacks on the front panel. Case and back panel are made of aluminium and are Nextel coated. The 8 mm aluminium frontpanel is milled, sand blasted and black anodized. The labeling is laser engraved.
