The German company Vincent has introduced the hybrid headphone amplifier KHV-200. The innovation's strong point lies in its adaptability to the impedance of headphones, which can vary by tens of times among different modern models. This was achieved precisely through the hybrid design.
Features:
- Frequency range: 20 Hz - 20 kHz;
- Signal-to-noise ratio: 95 dB;
- Tube model: 2 x E180F/6SCH9P, 1 x ECC82;
- Headphone outputs: 1 x 6.3 mm, 1 x XLR 4-pin;
- Nonlinear distortion coefficient: 0.1%.
The schematic of the KHV-200 was developed by Frank Blöhbau. In Vincent, he specializes in hybrid, tube-semiconductor amplifiers. Some of his well-known models include SV-237MK, SV-737, and SA-T7. The Vincent KHV-200 hybrid amplifier supports headphones with impedances ranging from 16 to 600 Ohms without compromising quality.
The KHV-200 is equipped with two low-noise pentodes E180F and a dual triode ECC82 at the input. The device receives and outputs linear signals via RCA connectors, with inputs for AUX and CD, adjustable preamp, and a recording output. Headphones can be connected to the front 6.3 mm output or the 4-pin XLR on the rear panel. There is also a gain switch, allowing a reduction of gain level by 8 dB.
Package includes:
- Amplifier;
- Power cable;
- Documentation.
