29.11.2024 09:10 | ~2 minutes read
Lake People Electronic GmbH has introduced a new entry-level headphone amplifier Violectric HPA V101 under the Violectric brand. The proven circuit design from Fried Reim, the company's main developer, is designed to ensure that the Violectric HPA V101 will be the most affordable Violectric product, but will still be able to provide excellent sound quality.
A special feature of the Violectric HPA V101 is the ability to connect two pairs of headphones. Violectric HPA V101 is equipped with amplifiers made on discrete elements, which provide an extremely low noise level and a high damping factor even at high output voltage. It is also emphasized that the new Violectric HPA V101 operates at a relatively high operating voltage, namely 60 V, thanks to which it can easily drive both high-impedance and low-impedance headphones with low efficiency and get the best possible sound quality from them.
Using the seven-step pre-amplification adjustment, you can always determine the optimal operating point for a wide variety of headphones and, thus, optimally use the volume control range. This is also facilitated by the use of a powerful power supply based on a toroidal transformer. On the rear panel of the Violectric HPA V101 amplifier, in addition to the power connector, there is both an unbalanced RCA input and a balanced XLR input - the choice is made using a small button next to the connectors.
The frequency response of the amplifier is completely linear in the range from 5 Hz to 60 kHz. The manufacturer promises an impressive dynamic range of up to 129 dB. The dimensions of the amplifier housing are only 170 x 57 x 197 mm. The new Violectric HPA V101 headphone amplifier is available in black and is now available for purchase. The recommended retail price in Europe is €799.
