Rupert Neve Designs RNHP Precision Headphone Amplifier

Whether you’re tracking, mixing live or in the studio, 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 developed the RNHP.
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 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.

MAXIMUM INPUT LEVELS
“A” XLR I/P: +22.8 dBu @ 1 kHz
“B” RCA I/P: +14.7 dBu @ 1 kHz,
“C” 3.5mm I/P: +3.3 dBu @ 1 kHz

OUTPUT POWER
As measured with typical headphones, Z=44 Ohm: 3.617 VAC RMS @ 1 kHz = 300mW RMS.
16 Ohm typical Load: 1.933 VAC RMS @ 1 kHz = 230mW RMS
150 Ohm typical Load: 5.108 VAC RMS @ 1 kHz = 175mW RMS

OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
.08 Ohm @ 1 kHz, 16-150 Ohm load, 0 dBu input

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
+/- .2 dB from 10 Hz to 120 kHz

NOISE
Measured with typical headphones, Z = 44 Ohm, BW 22 Hz - 22 kHz.
“A” XLR Input: -101.9 dBV,
“B” RCA Input: -100.9 dBV
“C” 3.5mm Input: -88.8 dBV

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
24VDC @ 0.25Amp (6 watt) minimum. Use with supplied power adapter, as this has been carefully selected for best output power and noise performance. May be used with a properly configured 24V battery as well.
