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 planar magnetic headphones.
The Niimbus US 5 PRO features sophisticated preamplifier functionality to drive not only headphones but also direct power amplifiers or active loudspeakers.
Almost all functions can also be controlled via the elegantly designed remote control, milled from solid material.
Thanks to its unparalleled technology, the Niimbus US 5 PRO is not only one of the most powerful headphone amplifiers on the market. It is characterized by:
-
Lowest Noise - due to very small internal amplification. This makes the amplifier's inherent noise inaudible.
-
High Output Voltage - due to 50 volts internal operating voltage. Therefore 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 ideally suited for headphones with low impedances and also planar magnetics.
-
High Damping Factor - due to lowest output impedance. Therefore ideally suited to drive even the most difficult headphones without influence, guaranteeing an uncompromised frequency response.
The Niimbus US 5 PRO 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 adaptation 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 line outputs to subsequent devices in the range of +/- 12 dB
- 2 toroidal transformers, > 50,000 uF filter capacitance
- The Niimbus US 5 PRO additionally offers elaborate and perfect volume control in 256 steps via reed relays.
You have the choice:
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 PRO, but also your power amplifier or your active loudspeakers and enjoy a compact and fantastically sounding headphone amplifier and a premium preamplifier.
Remote control:
Control the Niimbus US 5 PRO remotely with its elegantly designed remote control, milled from solid material. Via infrared, you gain access to motorized volume control, mute, input selection, headphone and line-out control.
