DESCRIPTION

The SUGDEN® HeadMaster™ is a dedicated pre-amplifier and headphone amplifier with exceptional qualities of musical performance. It has been specially developed to extend the boundaries of audio pleasure to ultimate near-field listening conditions. It is also suitable for use with most commercial headphones.

The unit is equipped with three stereo input facilities, a parallel tape output, and a switched pre amplifier output plus a remote control. These facilities create a very flexible piece of equipment, which can operate as a stand alone dedicated headphone system or be combined as a high quality pre-amp in a total audio system. The special design features of the amplifier circuitry have been incorporated to enhance headphone performance but also facilitate a very high quality pre-amplifier performance.

The amplifier signal path configuration is pure Class A constructed completely from discrete components. The application of the Class A circuit has been optimised to obtain its characteristic benefits of superb low level listening and low distortion. Particularly important with the use of headphones is the inherent avoidance with Class A configuration of odd and high order harmonic distortion. The amplifier is wide bandwidth with a very neutral and transparent sound stage through the full musical spectrum and volume range.
