Violectric HPA V222 Headphone Amplifier

Overview
The HPA V222 not only offers one of the most powerful headphone amplifiers on the market but also enhances:
Lowest noise - due to a very small internal gain. As a result, the inherent noise of the amplifiers is inaudible.
High output voltage - due to 50 volt internal operating voltage. Therefore ideally suited for high-impedance headphones.
High output power - through powerful amplifiers that can deliver far more power than even the most demanding headphone can need. Therefore ideally suited for headphones with low impedances and also magnetostats.
High damping factor - due to the lowest output impedance. Therefore ideally suited to control even the most difficult headphones without influencing them with a guarantee for an uncompromising frequency response.

Functions:
The rear line inputs can be selected via switches on the front. After the RK 27 volume control, the activated and buffered signal reaches the power amplifiers, which are a further development of the famous V200 circuits. Connect your headphones to the HPA V222 and enjoy a compact and fantastic-sounding headphone amplifier with the famous natural, smooth but precise Violectric sound
