AURIS HA-2SE+ BALANCED TUBE HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER LAUNCHED
The new Auris HA-2SE+ is a balanced headphone amplifier.
The lineup of tubes used in the Auris HA-2SE+ is classic Auris, with the use of four 7-pin Ei PL95 pentode power NOS (new old stock) tubes, which are the equivalent to 6DL5, and a single ECC81 dual-triode input tube, also known as a 12AT7.
AURIS HA-2SE+ BALANCED HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER
Transformers are very important to the quality, and Auris Audio products contain only manually wound transformers on a double C core, produced by Auris Audio. Every single transformer is manufactured in compliance with strictly defined requirements, thus providing a linear brand characteristic in the whole acoustic/sound range.
DESIGN
On the front panel, from left to right, you have the On/Off Switch, Input Line Selector, and 4-pin XLR balanced output. In the middle is the main Volume Control Knob and right next to it is the 6.3 mm single ended headphone output. On the right side is the Headphone Inpedance Selctor at 50/150/300/600 Ohm.
AURIS HA-2SE+ TUBES
On the top of the unit you have the five tubes (4 x PL95 and 1 x ECC81) that are centered on the design and they’re protected with a grill, separating them from the controls.
Auris says that the vacuum tubes used in Auris Audio products are subject to individual testing and internal inspection, so that only selected and match-paired tubes are incorporated into their products.
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
On the back of the unit from left to right you can find the XLR and two RCA inputs, as well the Pre Output. In the middle is the Tube EL 95 or PL 95 switch. On the right side is the Input Voltage Selector, Power Cord Inlet, and the On/Off Switch.
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR
To make headphone matching simple, Auris designed the HA-2SE+ with an impedance switch, which allows you to select 50/150/300/600 Ohm according to the type of your headphones.
