    Overall gain is set to +8 dB to enable the unit to drive high-Z headphones at sufficient volume. HEADPHONES OUTPUTS The VIOLECTRIC HPA V101 offers two stereo headphone outputs, each equipped with a standard 1/4" phone jack. 1/4” Phone Jack:...
  • Page 14: Protective Measures

    PROTECTIVE MEASURES: To ensure error-free operation and not to harm your valuable headphones in a comprehensive way your VIOLECTRIC HPA V101 is equipped with some protective circuits: During powering on there is a five second delay to protect your headphones from possibly unwholesome noises. After the time the headphone outputs are switched to the amp.
  • Page 15: About Pre-Gain

    A single amp of HPA V101 has a gain of +8 dB (factor 2,5). By this measure the amps will produce an extremely low self- generated noise which can hardly been heard even with highest sensitive in-ear-monitors (IEM). On the other hand, the amps of HPA V101 with very powerful transformers and with their high operating voltage are able to drive low efficiency or high impedance headphone to the full with ease.
  • Page 16 The "VOLUME" control should be set to minimum. Left and right channel settings should be the same unless you want to settle the amp for different hearing abilities. User´s Manual HPA V101, October 2024, F. Reim...

    HD25. There is also the fact that headphones with high impedance usually require much higher voltage to achieve high loudness. Thus, the amplifier must be designed with high internal supply voltages. User´s Manual HPA V101, October 2024, F. Reim...

  • Page 19 VIOLECTRIC HPA V101 you will benefit from more than doubled output voltage swing capability. Why does PRE-GAIN make sense? Two extreme examples (with the VIOLECTRIC HPA V101 with +8 dB gain = factor 2,5, volume control set to full): 1st example: The (pre-) amplifier provides 8 V output voltage, whereas the headphone requires only 4 V for 100 dB sound pressure level.

    INTERNAL SETTINGS Please note: The following chapters refer to internal settings of the HPA V101. To alter these settings, a TORX screwdriver T10 or 2,5 mm Allen Key is required. The more, you should by all means PULL THE MAINS CORD !!! after which all settings can be performed without any hazard.
