Violectric HPA-V202 Headphone Amplifier

The Violectric HPA-V202 Headphone Amplifier is the entry-level model in the Violectric portfolio and follows on from the successful HPA V200 model. Its circuitry has been further improved and even has the technical values of the larger models. The headphones can be connected via a 6.3 mm jack or 4.4 mm Pentaconn (asymmetrical). This makes the Violectric HPA V202 the most affordable option for discerning listeners who use classically connected headphones.

Convenient Switching Between Sources

The Violectric HPA V202 is equipped with 2 stereo inputs - balanced via XLR and unbalanced via RCA - on the rear of the device. This allows you to connect 2 independent playback devices such as streamers, CD players, etc. directly to the headphone amplifier and use it as a preamplifier.

PRE-GAIN

7-way adjustable amplification for optimum adaptation to all sources and headphones (Backside, -18, -12, -6, 0, +6, +12, +18 dB).

The headphone amplifier is positioned between the music source and the headphones. The source can have different levels of power and the headphones can have different levels of sensitivity.

The Violectric PRE-GAIN compensates for these differences and optimizes the headphone amplifier for every conceivable combination. This results in minimal noise, the lowest distortion factor and the best channel balance.

Superior Sound Reproduction

The Violectric HPA V202 has been carefully designed to preserve sound fidelity in its purest form. The advanced audio technology ensures high-resolution and distortion-free sound reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum.

Whether you want to explore subtle nuances in your music or create precise mixes, this headphone amplifier allows you to hear every detail clearly.

Violectric's Unique Technology

Lowest Noise - through a very small internal gain. This makes the amplifier's own noise inaudible.

High output voltage - due to an internal 50-volt operating voltage. Therefore, ideally suited for high-impedance headphones.

High output power - thanks to powerful amplifiers that can deliver far more power than even the most demanding headphones require. Therefore, ideally suited for headphones with low impedances and magnetostats.

High damping factor - due to the lowest output impedance. Therefore, ideally suited to drive even the most difficult headphones without interference. The advantage for an uncompromising frequency response.
