Violectric HPA V324

Premium analog headphone amplifier for uncompromising sound purity

The Violectric HPA V324 is a powerful, fully balanced headphone amplifier with preamp functionality. It combines the best technologies and decades of experience from Lake People, Violectric and Niimbus.

Key Features

• Four amplifier stages for a genuine TRUE-BALANCED design
• Two analogue inputs: XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced)
• Motorized, remote-controllable volume potentiometer with PRE-GAIN adjustment
• Precision VU meters for real-time signal monitoring
• Preamp mode with switchable line outputs (Head / Off / Line, Pre/Post)

Connections

• Analogue stereo inputs: 1× XLR (balanced), 1× RCA (unbalanced)
• Headphone outputs: 4-pin XLR (balanced), 4.4 mm Pentaconn (balanced), 6.3 mm (1/4") TRS (unbalanced)
• Analogue stereo outputs: 1× XLR (balanced), 1× RCA (unbalanced)

Versatile Performance

Whether used as a headphone amplifier or as a high-end preamplifier, the HPA V324 easily drives demanding headphones, power amps, or active speakers. Independently switchable outputs make it a flexible control hub for studio and high-end setups.

Balanced Listening

The balanced outputs (4-pin XLR / Pentaconn) deliver superior channel separation and precise reproduction. Four separate amplifier stages provide clean, highly accurate amplification for reference-grade sound.

PRE-GAIN Matching

Six gain steps from -18 dB to +12 dB can be selected directly from the front panel—ensuring optimal volume control, perfect source matching, and an exceptionally low noise floor.

Protection Circuits

• Delayed power-on & instant power-off
• DC monitoring with automatic disconnect in case of overvoltage
• Overload monitoring to protect connected headphones

Technology Highlights

• Extremely low self-noise thanks to low internal gain
• ±50 V internal supply for high output voltage—ideal for high-impedance headphones
• Very high output power for low-impedance and planar magnetic models
• Ultra-low output impedance for high damping factor and linear frequency response

With timeless elegance and robust build quality, Violectric brings professional studio engineering into the high-end world—for music lovers who demand uncompromising quality.

Features

• TRUE-BALANCED technology: Four output stages for genuine balanced playback—maximum signal integrity for high-resolution audio.
• 1 balanced XLR input and 1 unbalanced RCA input
• 2 outputs (balanced XLR, unbalanced RCA) individually switchable for use as headphone amplifier or preamplifier
• PRE-GAIN: 6-step adjustable gain
• Motorized potentiometer for remote control
