Violectric HPA V222
Compact True-Balanced Headphone Amplifier with the Legendary Violectric Sound
The Violectric HPA V222 is a fully balanced headphone amplifier with four true output stages – not just balanced connections. Evolving from the award-winning HPA V200 and HPA V280, it delivers the unmistakable natural and pleasantly precise sound that made its predecessors famous.
Technology Highlights
- Lowest noise: very low internal gain keeps self-noise virtually inaudible.
- High output voltage: ±50 V internal supply – ideal for high-impedance headphones.
- High output power: ample reserves even for low-impedance and planar-magnetic models.
- High damping factor: extremely low output impedance for linear frequency response and precise control.
Rear line inputs can be selected via front-panel switches. After the RK27 volume control the buffered signal reaches the power amplifiers, an advanced development of the renowned V200 circuitry.
Connect your headphones to the HPA V222 and enjoy a compact, fantastic-sounding amplifier with Violectric’s signature natural, smooth yet accurate sound.
