Compared to its predecessor, the US 4, the US5 offers an additional balanced headphone output with 4.4 mm Pentaconn.
The new series features the same powerful, noise-free, and perfectly sounding circuits to optimally drive any dynamic and magnetostatic headphone.
The Niimbus US 5 features a sophisticated preamplifier function to drive not only headphones but also direct power amplifiers or active speakers.
Almost all functions can also be controlled via the elegantly designed and solid-milled remote control.
Thanks to its unparalleled technology, the Niimbus US 5 is not only the most powerful headphone amplifier on the market. It is characterized by:
-
Lowest Noise - due to very small internal gain. This makes the amplifier's inherent noise inaudible.
-
High Output Voltage - due to 50 volts internal operating voltage. Therefore, it is ideally suited for high-impedance headphones.
-
High Output Power - thanks to powerful amplifiers that can deliver far more power than even the most demanding headphones might need. Therefore, it is ideally suited for headphones with low impedances and also magnetostats.
-
High Damping Factor - due to the lowest output impedance. Therefore, it is ideally suited to drive even the most difficult headphones without interference, guaranteeing an uncompromising frequency response.
The Niimbus US 5 offers:
- Remote control for input selection, output selection, volume, mute
- 3 analog stereo inputs, 2 x unbalanced via RCA, 1 x balanced via XLR
- - 18 … +24 dB Pre-Gain for perfect adjustment of the US 5 between source and headphones
- Motorized volume control and balance control (manual)
- 4 powerful amplifiers, 7000 mW Pmax into 50 ohms and 32 V RMS into 600 ohms
- Monitoring of headphone outputs for DC voltage and overload
- Headphone and line outputs individually selectable
- 1 balanced headphone output with 4-pin XLR
- 1 balanced headphone output with 4.4 mm Pentaconn
- 2 unbalanced outputs with 6.3 mm jack
- 2 x Line outputs, 1 x unbalanced via RCA, 1 x balanced via XLR
- Adjustment of the line outputs to subsequent devices in the range of +/- 12 dB
- 2 toroidal transformers, > 50,000 uF ripple capacity
The choice is yours:
Headphone amplifier? Preamplifier? Both!
The headphone outputs or the rear line outputs can be activated/deactivated via a switch on the front.
Connect not only your headphones to the Niimbus US 5 but also your power amplifier or active speakers and enjoy a compact and fantastic-sounding headphone amplifier and a premium preamplifier.
Remote control:
Control the Niimbus US 5 remotely with its elegantly shaped and solid-milled remote control. Via infrared, you get access to motorized volume control, mute, input selection, headphone, and line-out control.
