Silver Night 300B HP1 AUDION

Product Description

The Audion Silver Night HP1 headphone amplifier is a unique product from us fitting into the high end realms of headphone amplification.

Designed around our award winning Silver Night the HP1 features many of the same attributes as its namesake, hard wiring our own in-house would transformers and our single ended circuitry. Adding to this though the HP1 has been designed around our new output transformer, so can drive any headphone from its range of 5 switchable output impedances. On the front we have both balanced and single ended headphone outputs via either a Neutrik 6.3mm or 4 pin Neutrik XLR headphone sockets. Add to this 3 switchable stereo input channels and optional balanced XLR Inputs and outputs,  and you have a robust full media centre.

The new Silver Night HP1 300B headphone integrated (balanced) amplifier can run just about any headphone with its switchable output transformers that can drive them to potentials that you never thought previously they could achieve.

Where possible we avoid the use of Chinese components. These Triode based amplifiers use unique circuits and of course our own output transformers. See the tabs below for list of amplifiers and options to suit your needs

The Audion Silver Night HP1 hard wired 300B headphone amplifier is a unique product from us and features 8, 32, 150, 300 and 600 ohm switchable transformer output in either balanced or single ended mode. With 3 stereo input channels and a straight through un-attenuated output for direct connection to a power amplifier or similar.

All of our single ended designs use unique circuits and are auto-biased so don’t need regular bias changing or complicated setting up. The HP1 in fact uses a very similar circuit to our already renowned award winning Silver Night.

Sonically, The Triode valves used in the Silver Nights give subtle nuances and texture to the music allowing un-paralleled music finition retrieval. The 300B is a very well know valve that can reproduce delicacies and yet be punchy at the same time.

The Silver Night HP1 300B headphone amplifier is a truly capable product featuring many additions that we have been asked for in a headphone amp, (integrated pre-amplifier, balanced headphone sockets, plenty of power to drive difficult headphones and many output impedance options). The HP1 is designed for ease of use, quality of sound and versatility – “We know you will like it”

The chassis is made of military grade aluminium, with a durable black powder coated finish. The top plate and badge are finished with mirror polished stainless steel.
