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.

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.

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.
