Description

The new Violectric Niimbus US 5 and US 5 PRO are improved versions of the highly regarded headphone amps US 4 / US 4+. These new amps offer the same unsurpassed powerful, noiseless and perfect sounding headphone amp circuitry to drive any dynamic and planar headphone. Offerring a pre-amp function to directly connect and control power amps or active speakers and nearly all functions can be conveniently controlled using a stylish remote.

With its incomparable technology, Niimbus US 5 and US 5 PRO not only offer one of the most powerful headphone amplifiers in the market, but also:

LOWEST NOISE - through a very small amount of internal gain. This makes the amplifier's self-generated noise inaudible.
HIGH OUTPUT VOLTAGE - through 60 V internal operating voltage. Therefore ideally suited for high-impedance headphones deserving high output voltage swing.
HIGH OUTPUT POWER - thanks to powerful amplifiers that offer far more power even the most demanding headphones would need. So, best suited for headphones with low impedances as well as planar (magnetostatic) headphones.
HIGH DAMPING FACTOR - due to lowest output impedance. Therefor the ideal match for difficult to drive headphones without negative side effects and with the guarantee for a uncompromising frequency response.
