1 HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER HPA V281 USERS MANUAL
10GENERAL INFORMATION The HPA V281 is a stereophonic headphone amplifier designed to drive low-, medium- and high-Z loads (16...600 ohms) as usually
11With its small dimensions, the HPA V281 ensures optimum flexibility combined with high output power. During design, high emphasis was put on operat
12MAINS FUSE The 0.25A time-lag fuse is soldered in place on the circuit board. In case, it must be replaced with a fuse of the same type only. C
14POWER SWITCH The unit is put into operation by means of the power switch. Power-on status is indicated by the blue LED below. The power-on proced
15UNBALANCED INPUTS For the use with unbalanced signals, gold plated premium RCA sockets are provided. They are labelled as "UNBAL IN LEFT"
16NOTES: - After inserting the USB connector, it may be necessary to close and restart running media applications on the host computer. - Volume of
17THE VOLUME CONTROL The desired volumes for left and right channel are set simultaneously by means of the “VOLUME“ control. Volume can also be set v
