€655,00
Rupert Neve Designs RNHP is a state-of-the-art headphone amplifier. Now when Mr. Neve turns his attention to anything, you know it’s going to be good. What the RNHP delivers is reliable, reference-grade amplification for any pair of headphones.
Based on the headphone amp in the RND 5060 Centerpiece, the dedicated 24-volt design is spec’d with calibrated +4dBu Line, RCA, and 1/8″ stereo inputs. Everything’s housed in a road-tough, VESA-mountable steel chassis. The unit’s effortless sonic performance and the ability to drive virtually any ‘phones without compromise let you perform, mix, and savor your music with stunning clarity.
Rupert Neve Designs RNHP at a Glance:
- Unerring accuracy for better performances
- The benefits of near-zero-ohm output impedance
- Unerring accuracy for better performances
You know you perform your best when your cans sound great - and that's where the RNHP can make a huge difference. Many integrated headphone amps are plagued with a non-linear frequency response, as well as noise, distortion, and skimpy headroom. To some, these units' lackluster sonic performance may seem "close enough for rock 'n' roll," however at Sweetwater, we believe there is the performer's subconscious response to consider. After all, if you're not inspired by what you're hearing, your performance will suffer.
The benefits of near-zero-ohm output impedance
Rupert Neve Designs spec'd the RNHP with near-zero-ohm output impedance to minimize frequency-based reactive-load impedance shifts - a problem unique to headphone monitoring. This ensures accurate sound reproduction, which is obviously important if you need to trust the decisions you make with headphones. You'll find the RNHP's unerring accuracy beneficial when you're using just one set of cans, and also when you're comparing a mix on multiple pairs of headphones.
