Headphone Amplifier and Preamplifier


The Phonitor x is both an outstanding headphone amplifier and an excellent preamplifier that can be used to directly drive power amplifiers or active speakers. With the optional DA converter, it not only plays from analog sources, but also directly from digital sources. The Phonitor Matrix allows speaker-like listening via headphones.

Thanks to VOLTAiR technology, it offers all this in the highest possible sound quality.

Informations
Product Description

The Phonitor X is a high-voltage analog headphone amplifier and preamplifier (with optional DAC) built for serious listening or monitoring setups. It uses SPL’s “120 V rail” technology for high dynamic range, strong output power, and low distortion — capable of driving demanding, high-impedance headphones. It doubles as a preamp for full stereo systems, with both balanced and unbalanced inputs/outputs, making it a flexible central unit for headphone and speaker setups.

Key Features
• High-voltage analog architecture for wide dynamics and clean output
• Balanced 4-pin XLR and unbalanced 6.35 mm headphone outputs, powerful enough for demanding headphones
• Balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) analog inputs + optional digital inputs (USB, coaxial, optical) when DAC module installed
• Preamp output for speakers or powered monitors — works also as line-level preamp
• “Phonitor Matrix” crossfeed and speaker-simulation circuitry for realistic headphone listening experience
• Laterality / balance control and mono switch for flexible headphone tuning and mixing applications
• Remote-controllable volume and robust build quality
