Instruction Manual for HPA4 with 1.0.X Firmware – REV B Page 35
Graph 4 - THD vs. Output Frequency - Headphone Amplifier - 20 Hz to 20 kHz Sweep
This frequency sweep shows that the THD remains extremely low when the frequency increases.
The THX-888 headphone amplifier delivered this performance while driving a 16-Ohm load.
Notes:
• The scale on the left is dB THD relative to the output level.
• The output level is 1 Watt into 16-Ohms (4 Vrms, 14.3 dBu).
• The THD measurement bandwidth is 48 kHz.
• The test tone is swept from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
• Balanced inputs to headphone outputs, volume control set at 0 dB.
