Beyerdynamic A2 Headphone Amplifier for Two Headphones with High-grade Motor-controlled ALPS Potentiometer

The A2 headphone amplifier is used to operate a maximum of two headphones. As the two headphone outputs are connected in parallel, the connected headphones should have the same nominal impedance between 16 and 600 ohms. The functions of the A 2 can be selected on the device itself or via the supplied infrared remote control. Furthermore, the headphone can temporarily be muted via the remote control. The components inside the device are illuminated in a warm orange glow and can be seen through a transparent cover, which is made of a special ceramic printed glass with wave-shaped windows. The special circuit design features an amazingly natural and brilliant sound reproduction with an excellent resolution and spatiality. Discrete components are exclusively used as audio components. They may be bigger and require more room, but they work more precisely and reliably.

The volume control is made of solid aluminum with a high-grade motor-controlled ALPS potentiometer inside, which allows setting the volume via remote control. The selectable output impedance ensures an ideal control range of the volume potentiometer for all headphones no matter if they have a low or high impedance. With the selectable gain the A 2 can optimally be adjusted to the connected audio source. Due to a microprocessor-controlled intelligent relay, unpleasant cracking noise is avoided when turning the A 2 on-off or when changing the audio source. The gold-plated RCA connections on the rear allow the connection of audio sources and provide a signal transmission without loss. One input is passively connected with the line output of the A 2 to loop through incoming signals even when the A 2 is in standby mode. In this case the A 2 has only to be powered up if you want to listen to your music using your headphones. Two buttons to select the signal source are backlit in orange to indicate which signal input is currently active. The supplied headphone stand can be mounted to the bottom of the A 2 for storing the headphone. The selectable supply voltage of 110 - 120 V or 220 - 240 V allows the device to be used worldwide.
