Something German Comes My Way
 

This morning a package from Bavaria Germany arrived. :thumbsup:

That would have been nice but this is something way better! :D

I have to print out the 36 page manual in English as the one in box is in German and Ich spreche kein Deutsch.... :D

The HPA V281 is a stereophonic headphone amplifier designed to drive low-, medium- and high-Z loads (16...600 ohms) as usually represented by high-quality headphones. Because of its 4 built in amplifiers and the 4-pin XLR socket on the front it is also suited to connect balanced headphones. Due to its specific, variable, low-noise and distortion circuit design especially optimised for dynamic headphones, the HPA V281 fulfils even highest demands.

Digital input as an option, coaxial, optical, USB, up to 192 kHz - inputs selectable on the front panel -

PRE-GAIN = switchable input gain in five steps

- Balanced and unbalanced line outputs with RCA resp. XLR sockets, gold plated, pre-post fader assignable -

Independent-channel design -

ALPS RK27 High-Grade volume control -

Remote controlled and motorized volume control, input/output selection, mute as an option -

High-Quality op-amps in the signal path - High-quality MKP capacitors in the signal path - 0.1 and 1% metal film resistors throughout the unit -

Output management: headphones active / line-out active / both active / none active (mute) -

2 silver-plated Neutrik headphone outputs - 1 4-pin XLR socket, gold plated for balanced headphones -

delayed relay-based headphone output cut-off -

Switchable ground lift -

Rugged aluminium case with Nextel coating -

Solid, laser-engraved aluminium front panel

INPUT SELECTION / ACTIVATION By means of the “XLR / RCA / DIG“ pushbuttons on the HPA V281’s front panel, either of the analog inputs or the digital input (if present) can be activated. The LED next to the corresponding button will light up accordingly. Inputs can also be switched by means of the remote control: - press “1“ on the remote control to select the XLR input - press “2“ on the remote control to select the RCA input - press “3“ on the remote control to select the DIG input. Alternatively, the “channel up/down“ rocker button or “up/down” on the directional pad can be used to step inputs through.
