Rupert Neve Designs (RND) has announced the RNHP: Precision Headphone Amplifier.

Based on the headphone output circuitry from the 5060 Centerpiece Desktop Mixer, the RNHP is a dedicated 24V reference-quality headphone amplifier with level and impedance-calibrated +4dBu line, unbalanced RCA, and 3.5mm inputs, housed in a rugged VESA-mountable steel chassis. It is designed with near-zero output impedance and high-power, high-headroom circuitry to drive any headphones on the market without compromise.

‘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,’ the company says. ‘To address these shortcomings and provide a new level of clarity, Rupert and his team have developed the RNHP.’

The RNHP will begin shipping in late Q2 2016, with an MSRP of US$549.
