Designed for the beginner audiophile, the Violectric HPA V101 is the most cost-effective headphone amplifier in the company’s hi-fi lineup. Built on the renowned Lake People / Violectric amplifier technology, the HPA V101 employs a unique transistorized circuit that delivers a neutral yet subtly warm sound signature. With a high damping factor, it excels at driving demanding headphones, while its ultralow-noise performance, 2050mW output (into 50 ohms), and 50V internal operating voltage ensure remarkable detail and optimal performance across both high- and low-impedance models.
Encased in a stylish, compact desktop chassis, the HPA V101 features dual unbalanced 1/4" headphone jacks on the front panel, alongside a precision-engineered 25mm solid-aluminum volume dial with an RK 27 attenuator for low crosstalk. The rear panel hosts balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, selectable via a convenient input switch. Inside, adjustable dip switches allow you to fine-tune pre-gain levels from -18 to +18 dB, ensuring a perfect match for any pair of headphones.
