Tip: For the rst time, one can enjoy both the sound of Solid-State and Tubes in a single package (rather than as an ‘Eect Type’
add-on within an otherwise conventional solid-state design) and be able to switch in real-time. For some recordings and
headphones/loudspeakers, Solid-State may sound more lively. For others, Tube and Tube+ (especially Tube+) will sound more
luxurious. Select the one that sounds best for that particular moment, be it the recording, the mood or even the weather. After all,
enjoying music is an experience to be savoured and not a scientic research exercise.
Headphone Output Sockets
6.
XLR 3 Pin x 2 (Balanced), 6.3mm x 2 (Balanced/Single Ended)
Balanced:
XLR – 3 Pin x 2
6.3mm TRS x 2 (iFi SEC balanced system)
Note: The iFi SEC (Single-Ended Compatible) balanced connection uses one 6.3mm Jack for L-/R- (left jack) and the other for
L+/R+ (right jack) with both sleeves being Ground (GND). This makes it directly compatible with standard non-balanced
headphones. With the correct Headphone cable it allows Balanced connection using two 6.3mm plugs.
Single-Ended:
6.3mm TRS x 2 (use right jack for unbalanced headphones, however it is possible to drive two separate headphones
simultaneously).
3.5mm (Single Ended)
3.5mm TRS (with built-in iEMatch – output matched to high-sensitivity headphones).
XLR 4 Pin (Balanced)
XLR – 4 Pin Balanced.
