REMOTE, TOUCHSCREEN AND ROTARY KNOB
The HP-10 can controlled with the included remote control, the touchscreen display and the rotary knob to offer the best possible experience. With the remote control you can adjust every setting while listening to your headphones comfortably seated in your favourite spot. The HP-10 features a trigger IN/OUT connection to let you switch on the rest of your system in synch with the headphone amplifier.
BYPASS
In a system made up of several elements including a preamp, the bypass function of the HP-10 allows you to leave the wiring of the system unchanged and use either the HP-10 or the preamp for loudspeakers listening.
The bypass function is automatically activated by selecting one of the 4 headphone outputs (not the REAR output) on the HP-10 and then putting the unit into standby mode (red led) by pressing and holding down the SKC or display for 3 seconds or pressing the power button on the remote control.
EXPLORING THE FEATURES
The HP-10 comes with an incredible wealth of features to let you customise your listening experience completely, opening a new era for the headphone lovers.
STUDIO
Studio is our innovative set of features that pushes your headphones to the next level, fully implemented in the analogue domain to provide the best audio quality.
- Crossfeed mixes L/R channels to recreate a sound stage, as if listening to loudspeakers.
- Harman Curve optimises the EQ for listening with headphones.
- Superflat linearises the response for the highs.
- DF adjusts the Damping factor perfectly matching your headphones.
BALANCE
Balance allows you to control the volume of the L/R channels to ensure a personalised listening experience according to your auditory needs. This is a crucial feature since the headphones’ drivers are hard to match perfectly.
INPUT
All models feature balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs. The HP-10 BT features also Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX. The HP-10 DELUXE additionally offers a USB-C digital input on top of the Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX. The digital inputs available on the BT and DELUXE models allow you to stream your music directly from a smartphone, tablet or computer.
OUTPUT
A vast range of outputs allows you to use the HP-10 with your favourite headphones – unbalanced (3.5 mm, 6.3 mm) and balanced (4.4 mm, 4-pin XLR) connectors are available on the front panel.
You can also select the line outputs to send audio to the RCA/XLR outputs and use the HP-10 as your line preamp, while also applying all the Studio settings.
MODE
To give you maximum flexibility, you can play stereo or mono audio. You can also swap the L/R channels when in stereo. In mono, you can choose to listen to sum of the channels (L+R), or just one of the channels (L or R).
