Utilizing a discrete, solid-state audio path operating on an unusually high internal voltage, the device delivers an absolutely uncolored and distortion-free signal, providing an analytical window to evaluate every nuance and spatial detail within your mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e50V Operating Voltage and Massive Headroom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriving notoriously inefficient planar magnetic drivers or high-impedance studio dynamics requires significant voltage swing to prevent transient compression. The HPA V550 relies on a 50 V internal operating voltage rail, allowing the output stage to effortlessly generate up to 21 V RMS (into 600 Ohms) and a massive 6400 mW (into 50 Ohms). This high-voltage topology ensures that sudden dynamic peaks are reproduced without any clipping or artifacting. Additionally, the exceptionally high damping factor guarantees strict mechanical control over the headphone drivers, translating to an incredibly fast, articulate, and surgically precise low-end response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePre-Gain Staging and ALPS Precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccommodating both power-hungry planars and hyper-sensitive in-ear monitors (IEMs) on a single amplifier unit typically introduces an unacceptable noise floor. Violectric solves this routing challenge with a dedicated hardware Pre-Gain system, allowing engineers to adjust the internal gain staging across 7 discrete steps (ranging from -18 dB to +18 dB). This adjustment secures a pitch-black background, completely free of audible hiss, regardless of transducer sensitivity. Output levels are managed by a premium, motorized ALPS RK27 potentiometer, which provides smooth tactile adjustment and excellent left\/right channel tracking to maintain perfect phase coherence and stereo imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMassive output capabilities delivering 6400 mW (50 Ohms) and 21 V RMS (600 Ohms) to efficiently drive any studio headphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptionally high 50 V internal operating voltage ensuring lightning-fast transient response and zero dynamic compression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear-mounted Pre-Gain adjustment system (-18 to +18 dB) to optimize the noise floor for sensitive IEMs and low-efficiency planars alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium motorized ALPS RK27 volume potentiometer for smooth, reliable attenuation and superb stereo channel tracking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull line preamplifier functionality managed seamlessly from the listening position via the included infrared remote control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevice Type: Solid-state headphone amplifier \/ line preamplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog Inputs: 1x Balanced XLR, 2x Unbalanced RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine Outputs (Pre-Out): 1x Balanced XLR, 1x Unbalanced RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone Outputs: 1x 4-pin XLR (Balanced), 1x 4.4 mm Pentaconn (Balanced), 1x 6.3 mm \/ 1\/4\" Jack (Unbalanced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Output Power: 6400 mW (at 50 Ohms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Output Voltage: 21 V RMS (at 600 Ohms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume Control: Motorized ALPS RK27 potentiometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-Gain Adjustments: -18, -12, -6, 0, +6, +12, +18 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote Control: Included (handles source selection, volume, output routing, and mute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Violectric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53436252029265,"sku":"58019","price":2546.52,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/ViolectricHPAV5501.jpg?v=1775648031","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/violectric-hpa-v550","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
