Project Head Box DS2 B - Headphone amplifier - silver - Pro-Ject
Head Box DS2 B: The ultimate headphone amplifier for audiophile demands
The hi-fi headphone market is experiencing unprecedented development, characterized by a multitude of new models and innovative driver designs capable of producing outstanding sound. However, all too often these first-class headphones are driven by average amplifiers, which means that their full potential is not exploited. This is where the Head Box DS2 B comes in, a headphone amplifier that effortlessly exploits the capabilities of almost any headphone and drives even the most demanding models to peak performance with a powerful 1100 mW.
Technical sophistication for individual customization
The Head Box DS2 B offers impressive versatility with three different current and four gain settings that can be adapted to any headphone, be it an over-ear or in-ear model. Its fully balanced dual-mono design is complemented by an intelligent phase inverter at the input, which converts any incoming unbalanced signal into a balanced one. This ensures optimum signal transmission that meets even the highest audiophile demands.
Practical connection options for a first-class listening experience
The Head Box DS2 B headphone amplifier has a balanced 4-pin XLR output on the front, which ensures first-class signal transmission to your headphones. In addition, both outputs can be used simultaneously to enable shared listening experiences. This flexibility makes the DS2 B a versatile companion for audiophile music lovers.
Universal compatibility for any headphone collection
Whether you choose hard-to-drive dynamics, power-hungry planar magnets or sensitive in-ear monitors, the Head Box DS2 B adapts seamlessly to any headphone collection and offers an unparalleled listening experience characterized by pure pleasure.
Convenient control and integration
Another highlight of the Head Box DS2 B is its switching voltage input, which allows the device to be conveniently controlled remotely. By connecting to preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers of the DS2/DS3 Line, the DS2 B can be switched on and off with a 12V switching voltage. This functionality allows multiple DS2/DS3 Line devices to be controlled with a single push of a button, enabling convenient integration into existing audio setups.
The Head Box DS2 B is more than just a headphone amplifier - it is a masterpiece of audio technology that fulfills audiophile demands at the highest level. With its technical sophistication, universal compatibility and convenient control options, it sets new standards in the world of hi-fi audio and makes audiophiles' hearts beat faster.
