EARMAX amps in general are OTL design (OutputTransformerLess). The actual output power and quality is depending on the load connected. Low impedance (low Z) headphones draw a lot of current and this requires a higher current power supply.

The lower the headphones impedance is, the higher the power of the OTL amplifier is needed.

The Brocksieper EARMAX Silver Edition headphone amp is optimised for this and comes with a very strong power supply. The SE is the identical design like the Brocksieper Anniversary model (just silver instead of gold hardware and no flightcase) known and prised for its outstanding performance among HiFi enthusiasts.

 

 

Tube headphone amp for dynamic phones. OTL design Class A  triodes technology, external power supply.

All tube circuit with miniature double-triodes vor signal amplification and output stage (ECC81 and E88CC/6922).

All tube tested and selected by Mr. Brocksieper personally.

All Brocksiper devices are completely `Made in Germany´, in small series manufacturing.

Each amplifier is tested, measured and burned-in prior to shipping.

The EARMAX can handle open circuit (no load/phons connected) as well as it is almost perfectly protected against shortage.
