DESCRIPTION
POWERFUL HEADPHONE AMP IDEAL FOR A DESKTOP HEADPHONE SETUP
Engineered to deliver a powerful thrust output, the SMSL SH-8S delivers up to 6 Watts into 16 Ohms and up to 3 Watts into 32 Ohms. The Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the SH-8S is <0.00006%, thanks to the precision linear feedback circuit (PLFC). The excellent circuit design brings out exceptional performance by bringing down the SNR and THD+N while covering a wide frequency range of 20Hz to 500kHz.
ANODISED ALUMINIUM ALLOY BODY AND A CLASSIC RETRO-STYLE TOGGLE SWITCH
Made out of precise CNC milled Aluminium Alloy, the compact design of the SMSL SH-8S sports an anodized smooth finish and is designed for desktop headphone setup. It also has high-quality relays and a popless sound design. Paired with a classic retro-style toggle switch, the SMSL SH-8S allows you to change the gain level based on the gear you are using.
HIGHLY RESILIENT, TEMPERATURE-RESISTANT AND PRO PERFORMANCE BUILD
The overall headphone amp is made with high precision low-temperature drift resistance to ensure that the temperature does not affect the performance. Designed to be highly resilient, the SMSL SH-8S is protected against DC, overvoltage and thermal.
NEATLY PLACED VOLUME WHEEL AND A HOST OF AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The front panel of the SMSL SH-8S sports a 4-Pin balanced XLR output, 6.3mm headphone output, indicator light, power switch, input switch, gain switch and volume control. The backside, on the other end, comes with a power AC input, RCA input and a 3-Pin XLR input.
