Headphone Driver

Headphone Buffer

The Headphone Buffer is a precision power amplifier capable of delivering up to 1 Watt of power to headphones or other transducers. Capable of driving both high and low impedance loads; this stereo device has a flat frequency response up to 200 kHz, excellent channel separation, and low signal distortion and noise. The inputs feature an AC/DC coupling switch to allow for optional removal of DC offset. The output gain can be set between 0 and -27 dB in 3 dB steps. The outputs include both a stereo headphone jack and Left and Right BNC connectors. A special differential mode of operation provides an additional 6 dB of gain for mono signals.
