  • Page 17 PRE-GAIN WE CALL THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM A single amp of DHA V226 has only little gain (gain = +2,5 dB = factor 1,25). In case a balanced headphone is connected two amps are active with a combined gain of +8 dB (factor 2,5).
  • Page 18 PRE-GAIN settings +6 / +12 / +18 dB to achieve more gain (factor 2 / 4 / 8). Other than the above settings are not useful but harmless. User´s Manual DHA V226, November 2021, F. Reim...

    ERROR REPORTING: To ensure error-free operation and not to harm your valuable headphones in a comprehensive way your VIOLECTRIC DHA V226 is equipped with some protective circuits: During powering on there is a five second delay to protect your headphones from possibly unwholesome noises.
  • Page 23 Why does PRE-GAIN make sense? Two extreme examples (with the DHA V226 with +2 dB gain (factor 1,25), volume control set to full): 1st example: The (pre-) amplifier provides 8 V output voltage, whereas the headphone requires only 2 V for 100 dB sound pressure level.
