Earmen Takes A Big Leap By Presenting Their All-New CH-Amp

EarMen is known for its portable products, which have been highly successful in the audiophile community. EarMen, this time around, has taken it a step further and developed a specially designed fully balanced headphone amp & preamp that will give you a unique and pleasurable listening experience. The CH-Amp has high-tech components loaded in its circuitry with excellent features and a linear power supply unit.

Fully Balanced Architecture With Extra Low Noise Linear Power Supply

EarMen CH-Amp is a fully Balanced Headphone Amplifier, which means that the balanced outputs from the source go to the output intact, only amplified. From the Single-end input, the signals are converted to balanced without phase shift (phase imbalance), obtaining + and - signals perfectly in phase. In this way, unwanted noise is removed, preventing them from being added inside the device. With the CH-Amp, you also get a linear low-noise power supply made without compromise, using the best components and the latest circuit design. EarMen Linear power supply is reliable, simplistic and produces minimal noise. It is designed to offer the best characteristics and efficiency. It also has protection against current overload, short circuits and thermal overload. The advantage of this power supply is that you can connect it to the EarMen Tradutto DAC and EarMen Staccato Streamer and get an all-in-one system.

Features A Composite Amplifier Topology For A Clean Performance

EarMen has implemented a Composite Amplifier Topology in the CH-Amp. Composite op-amp brings the best of both worlds with excellent DC and AC characteristics. These amplifiers offer several advantages over other types of amplifiers. The design engineers at EarMen have used Composite Amplifier Topology in the CH-Amp for a reason which helps bring out the best. Power amplifiers typically use thermal feedback loops, thus causing errors while driving heavy loads. These errors occur due to self-heating. Using the composite amplifier topology removes such errors and improves the performance of the circuitry. The composite amplifiers also offer better DC output offset.

Doubles-Up As A Preamp With Gain Switch

Preamp outs and gain control are two significant features of the EarMen CH-Amp. You can connect powered monitors to CH-Amp's balanced or single-ended preamp outputs for a high-fidelity system. To better match your headphones, the gain switch provides you with better control over output volume and impedance.

High-Tech Components For A Truly Hi-Fidelity Sound

A team of engineers at EarMen have incorporated WIMA capacitors with audio electrolytes in combination with MELF low noise resistors and SoundPlus OPA1642 operational amplifiers, which proved to be great for getting neutral sound. EarMen CH-Amp has excellent characteristics, a low signal-to-noise ratio and THD, excellent frequency response and a lot of power.

Exquisite Workmanship With A Compact Design

The EarMen CH-Amp is born from a full-block aluminium chassis, which makes it durable and robust. Its small size makes it suitable for any setting, system, or house. The PCB is encased in sturdy aluminium housing, which provides the board with more internal protection and external insulation.
