Reference-Class Headphone Amplifier and DI Inputs

The integrated high-impedance instrument inputs are perfect for capturing direct signals from electric guitars, basses, and synthesizers with full frequency response and zero coloration. The headphone output, derived from Neumann’s high-end monitoring standards, provides precise real-time monitoring without latency, ensuring every nuance is captured accurately.
