LAiV Harmony HP2A

Precision Volume ControlIn a high-end audio system, resistor-ladder attenuation plays a critical role in preserving clean signal flow and maintaining audio transparency across every volume adjustment, ensuring the source signal's integrity is never compromised.

The HP2A's Precision Matched Discrete Resistor Ladder Volume Attenuator is crafted to do just that. Unlike traditional potentiometers that can introduce noise and inconsistencies, this ladder design ensures precise, noise-free adjustments that maintain signal quality at every level - a microprocessor controlled 60-step attenuator (1 dB per step) through a silent opto-coupler.

True Balanced Class A PreamplifierClass A amplification is widely regarded as the gold standard for audio quality. It is the foundation of the HP2A's preamplifier stage, keeping transistors continuously active throughout the full waveform and eliminating crossover distortion entirely.

The Class A preamplifier in the HP2A offers a True Balanced design, meaning each channel has dedicated circuitry that keeps the audio signal isolated and pristine, letting you enjoy every nuance of your music with depth, detail, and lifelike dynamics.

High-Power Balanced Headphone AmplifierHarness the power of a proprietary discrete power amplifier with 4 x high bandwidth EXICON lateral MOSFETs per channel for a robust and immersive listening experience. Their high input impedance and wide bandwidth translate directly into faster transient response and exceptional linearity.

With True Balanced design, each audio channel has dedicated positive and negative signal paths, minimising crosstalk and reducing noise and distortion for a spacious soundstage. The discrete output stage sustains stable current headroom even as load impedance varies, so it drives high-impedance and demanding headphones with composure.

Selectable Output ModeEasily select your desired output mode using the front panel selector on the HP2A. Choose between Preamp only, Headphone Amp only, or Preamp + Headphone Amp to suit your listening needs.

On the front panel the HP2A offers balanced XLR4 and 4.4 mm headphone outputs for enhanced fidelity, plus a single-ended 6.35 mm connector for wide compatibility. Operation is via remote control or the front panel, with a 12 V trigger input and output for system automation and a sophisticated protection system.

Expandable with Harmony LExtEffortlessly enhance your audio setup with the Harmony LExt via LE-LINK, adding a Phono input or additional inputs to suit your growing needs.
