Rupert Neve Designs has announced the new RNHP: Precision Headphone Amplifier, on display at the Prolight + Sound show in Frankfurt.
Based on the headphone output circuitry of the 5060 Centerpiece desktop mixer, the RNHP is a dedicated 24-volt reference-quality headphone amplifier with level and impedance-calibrated +4 dBu line, unbalanced RCA, and 3.5 mm inputs, housed in a rugged VESA-mountable steel chassis.
It’s designed with near-zero output impedance and high-power, high-headroom circuitry to drive any headphones on the market.
From Rupert Neve Designs: “Whether you’re tracking, mixing, or just listening to music, your headphone amplifier is as important to the final sound quality as your headphones – yet the world is full of headphone amps with compromised sonics, headroom, and power. To address these shortcomings and provide a new level of clarity, Rupert and his team have developed the RNHP.”
The RNHP will begin shipping in late May 2016 with an MSRP of $549 USD.
