“With the Phonitor se, SPL has an equally high-quality and convincing-sounding headphone amplifier on offer, that is aimed at audiophile music consumers.”
On the online platform kopfhoerer.de you will find everything about headphones. That is why our headphone amplifier – SPL Phonitor se – can’t be missing. Find the complete review (in German) online at kopfhoerer.de – here we provide you with a short summary in English:
“It impresses with its first-class build quality and is housed in a noble, flat metal case with an internal power supply. You can choose between three decorative colors for the brushed front panel: Black, silver or red. In addition, you have the choice between a version with and without integrated D/A converter.”
In practice:
“The Phonitor se convinces with its straightforward operation. The selection of the audio source is self-explanatory. In addition to volume control and source selection, the manufacturer’s own Phonitor Matrix also comes into play, which can be activated here in two different settings.”
Phonitor Matrix:
“The Phonitor Matrix offers two different settings, where the typical superstereo effects are reduced. Provided are two coherent variants that can be of great help, especially for sound engineering purposes.”
Sound:
“Sonically well balanced and neutral, high-resolution, noise-free, with sovereign dynamics and of course reserves that deliver sufficient levels even with quieter designs.”
Conclusion:
“Sovereign build quality and technology, as well as a coherent and finely designed tonal image with the best dynamics and sufficient power reserves, should optimally satisfy almost all requirements for music enjoyment with conventional, high-quality headphones, which also ultimately justifies the price.”
