HPA V202
HPA V202
Compact Class-AB headphone amplifier with warm, musical sound and impressive drive capability.
Violectric HPA V202
Compact headphone amplifier with the legendary Violectric sound
The Violectric HPA V202 is a new, dedicated headphone amplifier and the consistent evolution of the award-winning HPA V200. It delivers the unmistakably natural and pleasantly precise sound that made its predecessors famous.
Technology highlights
- Ultra-low noise: very low internal gain makes self-noise practically inaudible.
- High output voltage: ±50 V internal operating voltage — ideal for high-impedance headphones.
- High output power: huge power reserves, even for low-impedance and planar-magnetic models.
- High damping factor: extremely low output impedance for linear frequency response and perfect control.
The rear line inputs can be conveniently selected via front-panel switches. After the RK27 volume control, the activated, buffered signal is fed to the output stages — a further development of the famous V200 circuit.
Connect your headphones to the HPA V202 and enjoy a compact, great-sounding headphone amplifier with the renowned natural, smooth yet precise Violectric signature.
