Premium analog headphone amplifier for uncompromising signal purity

The Violectric HPA V324 is an extremely powerful, balanced headphone amplifier with preamplifier function that combines the superior technologies, outstanding strengths and award-winning features of the test winners from Lake People, Violectric and Niimbus.

With four power amplifiers for true balanced playback (TRUE-BALANCED), two analog inputs (XLR and RCA), PRE-GAIN setting on the front, remote-controlled volume with motor potentiometer, a preamplifier function, balanced and unbalanced line outputs as well as calibratable VU meters for level display, the HPA V324 a unique feature.

Versatility for the highest demands

The HPA V324 is suitable both as a headphone amplifier and as a high-quality preamplifier. With the option of connecting headphones, power amplifiers or active speakers via individually switchable outputs, the HPA V324 a perfect solution for professional and audiophile applications.

Balanced headphone outputs

The balanced operation of headphones with 4-pin XLR or Pentaconn connectors ensures significantly improved channel separation and thus more precise and clear sound reproduction. To exploit the full potential of balanced playback, the Violectric HPA V324 It features a high level of technical sophistication – with four separate power amplifiers that ensure precise and distortion-free amplification of each channel. This guarantees superior sound quality for the highest audiophile demands.

When listening to music through loudspeakers, you become part of the audience. When listening through "regular" headphones, you take the place of the conductor. When listening with "balanced" headphones, you become part of the orchestra.

PRE-GAIN

The PRE-GAIN adjustment allows for optimal matching of different sources and headphones. It ensures precise volume adjustment and thus compensates for variations in the input signals. The result is outstanding sound reproduction with minimal noise, virtually no distortion, and perfect channel balance.

The fine adjustment of the gain range from **-18 to +12 dB** for optimized adaptation to your audio devices is located at the Violectric HPA V324 on the front and can be individually adjusted in 6 levels.

Perfect protection for headphones

Various circuits protect the headphones from unclear operating conditions, DC voltage, excessive operating temperature and overload:

Delayed ON, Instant OFF
The headphones are connected to the amplifier with a delay via relays and the associated electronics and are immediately disconnected again after switching off.

DC Monitoring
Outputs are monitored for harmful DC voltage. If a predefined value is exceeded, the headphones are shut down.

Overload Monitoring
Power consumption is continuously measured during operation. If predefined parameters are exceeded, the headphones are switched off.

Violectric's unique technology

• Lowest noise - due to very low internal amplification. This makes the amplifier's inherent noise inaudible.

• High output voltage - thanks to an internal 50-volt operating voltage. Therefore, it's ideal for high-impedance headphones.

• High output power - through powerful amplifiers that can deliver far more power than even the most demanding headphones require, making them ideal for headphones with low impedances and magnetostats.

• High damping factor - Due to the lowest output impedance. Therefore, it's ideal for driving even the most difficult headphones without interference. The advantage for an uncompromising frequency response.
