Device
| Name | Dual-Mono Balanced Power Amplifier (MOSFET Class AB) |
|---|---|

| Power @ 300Ω | — mW |
| Output impedance | 0.04 Ω |
Analysis
- Damping factor: 200:1. Above the 8:1 audibility threshold; bass response is well-controlled.
- Direct termination: No direct connector match between transducer (unknown) and device outputs (). Use a balanced upgrade cable terminated to one of the device outputs.
Cable recommendation
If the transducer ships with a detachable cable (binding-post), a balanced upgrade cable terminated to one of the device's outputs () gives you the most power and the cleanest signal path. See our balanced cable buyer guide.
