SPL SPLPHONSE Overview

If you're looking for an austere audiophile headphone amp that sacrifices nothing in the way of sound, power, headroom, and look, and feel, the SPL Phonitor se is a suitable option. The Phonitor se, presented here in red finish, gives you the main features SPL pro-fi headphone amps are known for, such as naturalistic crossfeed and oodles of clean output power thanks to 120V VOLTAiR technology.

The 120V rails SPL uses come straight from their mastering gear used in top notch studios across the world, and is a main factor behind the Phonitor se's ability to drive up to 5W of output power per channel into headphones, doing so cleanly, meaning without distortion. The Phonitor se's Crossfeed switch allows you to recreate the effect of speakers in your headphones at will, eliminating the often-stringent, extreme separation of conventional headphone listening.

Ergonomic Volume Knob
The volume is adjusted with a milled all-aluminium rotary knob sitting atop an Alps RK27 Big Blue potentiometer.
Analog Inputs with Digital Options
The Phonitor se is equipped with gold-plated RCA sockets for the analog input. The headphone amp has optional digital functionality, available separately. Should you add the DAC768xs, you'll have the option to use three more digital sources: USB, Coax, and Optical.
Powerful Outputs
The Phonitor se offers a 1/4" jack for connecting headphones with jack plug. Up to 2 x 5 watts of output power is available at this socket. This allows even power-hungry headphones such as magnetostats or electrostats to be driven effortlessly.
Crossfeed for a Speaker Experience
This headphone amp offers SPL's signature Phonitor Matrix, with switchable crossfeed, that allows you to listen to music through headphones as though it were being reproduced on speakers. You'll find a switch dictating the intensity of the Crossfeed effect.
