Rupert Neve Designs RNHP Precision Headphone Amplifier

The Rupert Neve Designs RNHP is designed to deliver precise, extremely reliable amplification to any pair of headphones. Based on the headphone amplifier in our model 5060 Centerpiece, the RNHP is a dedicated 24V, reference-quality headphone amplifier with calibrated +4dBu Line, RCA and 3.5mm stereo inputs, housed in a rugged, VESA mountable steel chassis. With effortless, wide-open sonic performance and the ability to drive any pair of headphones without compromise, the RNHP allows you to perform, mix and enjoy your music with a new level of clarity.

Rupert Neve Designs RNHP Features:

• Precision Sound: Wide-open, extremely detailed sound quality allows you to get the most out of your headphones
• Dedicated Power: High-power, high-headroom design can effortlessly drive high-impedance (up to 600 Ohm) headphones even during the loudest, most dynamic tracking sessions
• Reliable Translation: The near-zero output impedance (.01 Ohm at 1kHz), direct-coupled amplifier design provides for excellent translation with any pair of headphones
• Precision Stereo Potentiometer: The highly damped stereo potentiometer is designed to give you precise level control andmaintain perfect left-right balance
• Professional Line Input: The calibrated +4dBu line input is selected with the “A” switch. The combo jack accepts either XLR orTRS inputs for balanced professional devices.
• RCA Input: The unbalanced RCA input is calibrated for-10dBV signals and is selected with the “B” switch. The RCA jack is commonly used with home stereo devices or Prosumer equipment
• 3.5mm Input: Stereo 3.5mm input specifically calibrated to work with mobile devices like phones, computers and digital cameras
• Steel Clamshell Chassis: The RNHP’s rugged,solid-steel chassis is built to a high industrial standard with an overhang to protect the connectors and main level control from glancing blows, as well as shock-absorbing rubberized feet.
• 24V DC Input: The RNHP can be powered using either the included 6 watt power supply or a 24V, 0.25A min battery (not sold by RND)
