PREOWNED – FULLY TESTED – INCLUDES POWER SUPPLY
Whether you’re tracking, mixing, or just listening to
music, your headphone amplifier is as important to the final sound quality as
your headphones – yet the world is full of headphone amps with compromised
sonics, headroom, and power. To address these shortcomings, Rupert and his team
at Rupert Neve Designs have developed the RNHP.
Based on the headphone output circuit in the 5060
Centerpiece Desktop Mixer, the RNHP is a dedicated 24V reference-quality
headphone amplifier with specifically-calibrated +4dBu balanced line,
unbalanced RCA and 3.5mm (1/8”) inputs, housed in a rugged VESA-mountable steel
chassis. With effortless, wide-open sonic performance and the ability to drive
any pair of headphones without compromise, the RNHP allows you to perform, mix
and enjoy your music with a new level of clarity.
Dedicated vs Integrated Amplifiers
For much equipment, the headphone output is an afterthought.
Most products with integrated headphone amps have large feature sets, small
footprints, and relatively low price points. This leads to compromised power
and audio quality of the headphone amplifier itself, which can lead to a number
of issues in real world usage such as low headroom, unreliable performance, and
a lack of focus.
The RNHP was made to accomplish one simple purpose: making
any headphones sound their best. As a dedicated design, the RNHP is tailored to
deliver extremely high quality, powerful amplification, with precise
calibration for any source input. This exceptional level of quality can be
the difference that inspires an artist to give their best performance, lets an
engineer make better choices in mic and placement, gives a mix engineer
reliable translation of EQ and dynamics adjustments, or lets a music listener appreciate
the full depth and detail of a recording.
Specially-Calibrated Inputs For All of Your Devices
In addition to being able to drive a wide variety of
headphones without sacrificing performance, the RNHP is also capable of
receiving a wide array of signals with its 3 inputs, calibrated for optimum
level and impedance. Check the application notes for how the RNHP can be
utilized for different purposes.
Here are some common device examples:
Input A: +4dBu Line (XLR or TRS) Devices
Studio Audio Interfaces (Line or Monitor Out)
Headphone Mixers (Line Output or HP Out)
Mixing Consoles (Line, Aux or Monitor Out)
Professional Turntable Mixers (Line or Monitor)
Professional Stereo Digital to Analogue Converter
Professional Cameras Studio
Monitor Controllers
Input B: RCA Devices
CD / DVD Players
Stereo Tuners
Preamplified
Turntables
Prosumer Recording Devices / Cameras
Input C: 3.5mm (1/8”) Stereo Devices
Mobile Phones
Portable Music Players
Computers
DSLR Cameras
Handheld
Recording Devices
Any 3.5mm headphone output
VESA-Mountable Design
The RNHP is designed for mounting with any VESA 100
compatible mount. These may include pole mounts, wall mounts, table mounts, or
articulating arm mounts. These mounts can help to ensure the RNHP is always in
the perfect position.
Multiple-Line Feed
In some situations where you only have one set of outputs
but need to simultaneously feed the RNHP and another device such as speakers, a
second headphone amplifier, or a 2-track recorder, we recommend using splitter
cables from the Left and Right line outputs to feed both devices from the same
stereo pair.
