SPL Phonitor XE Headphone Amplifier, Silver

Introducing the Phonitor xe, a comprehensive standalone head amp solution designed exclusively for headphone enthusiasts. Packed with cutting-edge features such as Phonitor Matrix technology, balanced and unbalanced inputs, and IR control compatibility, this device is set to revolutionize your headphone listening experience.

One of the standout features of the Phonitor xe is its remarkable remote operation capability. As with other exceptional products from SPL Professional Fidelity, this device can be seamlessly controlled using virtually any infrared remote control handset. You can simply utilize your existing CD player, DAC, or network streaming device remote to program the Phonitor xe and effortlessly adjust the volume using a button of your choice.

Equipped with a 4-pin balanced XLR input, the Phonitor xe takes headphone amplification to new heights. Its advanced dual power amp circuit delivers double the power of a standard quarter-inch jack, resulting in enhanced bass response and remarkable transparency within the audio's stereo image. This unparalleled power ensures an immersive and detailed sound experience.

To accommodate a wide range of headphone models, the Phonitor xe offers both balanced and unbalanced inputs. Conveniently located on the rear panel, these input ports can be easily switched in and out using the device's toggle switch. Furthermore, simultaneous playback using both balanced and unbalanced inputs is possible without any degradation in signal quality or performance.

The Phonitor xe proudly inherits the Phonitor Matrix circuit from its predecessor, the renowned Phonitor X model. This advanced circuitry is thoughtfully designed with only the essential controls required to optimize audio playback. With the inclusion of a crossfeed switch, users gain the ability to adjust frequency-dependent interaural levels on both channels. This feature empowers you to intelligently modify virtual room ambience, creating a personalized and immersive listening experience.

Not stopping there, the Phonitor xe also incorporates a dedicated angle switch. This innovative feature allows for frequency-dependent simulation of the stereo image, mimicking the experience of adjusting speaker placement in a studio control room. By fine-tuning this setting, you can achieve an even more precise and captivating soundstage.
