Musical Fidelity V90-BHA Balanced Headphone Amplifier (Silver)

Description

V90-BHA | HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER

The V90-BHA is a Balanced Headphone Amplifier for
Ultimate Performance.

Musical Fidelity is the first headphone maker to bring the
sound quality benefits of balanced audio to the consumer headphone market. With
the launch of the V90-BHA headphone amplifier and its partner MF-200B headphones,
balanced audio technology is no longer only for esoteric products.

The benefits of balanced connection have long been known in
the pro-audio industry, where great efforts are made to minimise noise and
interference in the audio chain, particularly with low-level signals.

By using balanced connections, rather than single-ended
audio, RF interference on the audio signal is effectively cancelled out,
resulting in an exceptionally low noise level and a far more accurate sound.

The V90-BHA offers high input impedance and low output
impedance, to allow connection to most sources and the ability to easily drive
the vast majority of headphones (from 10 ohms to 600 ohms).

Distortion is very low, typically less than 0.005% across
the audio band. The V90-BHA also delivers an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio
of better than 109 dB (‘A’ weighted). The frequency response is 20 Hz to 80 kHz
(-1dB).

Inputs include both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA, while
outputs include a dedicated four pin Mini XLR balanced connector and a 3.5mm
headphone jack output, making the V90-BHA a very versatile headphone amplifier.

The V90-BHA’s combination of very low distortion, extremely
low noise, flat frequency response and low output impedance gives a smooth,
effortless sound quality normally reserved for far more expensive products. The
V90-BHA is also designed to effectively run as a dual mono amplifier when in
balanced mode, which minimises cross-channel interference and maximises stereo
separation.

The V90-BHA features some of Musical Fidelity’s finest
electronics, in a tiny package that looks great, with a front panel and cover
of custom-made extrusions, finished in fine-texture moonstone.
