Sennheiser launches IE 800 earphone, two headphone amplifiers in India

The IE 800 is powered by extra wide band drivers. With a diameter of just 7 mm, it is the smallest wide-band sound transducer currently available in dynamic headphones. The company promises that its functional principle guarantees distortion-free sound even at high sound pressure levels.

Sennheiser claims the housing is made of scratch-resistant, skin-friendly ceramic, while the ear pads consist of skin friendly silicone, thereby ruling out any risk of allergies or skin irritation. It provides users with two adapter options: oval (SM/ML) and round (S/M/L).

HDVD 800 and HDVA 600

HDVA 600

The headphone amplifiers from the company can be connected with headphones using a normal 6.3 mm jack plug. On the HDVD 800 digital sources are connected to the rear of the unit as an AES/EBU input or S/PDIF (optical and coaxial).

The digital version has an extra USB input, which offers 24-bit data transmission at 192 KHz.

The HDVD 800 comes with a switch at the rear of the unit that provides simple swap of the amplifier output to the audio input voltage.

A glass panel embedded in the aluminium housing of the amplifier gives a clear view of the interior of the devices.

The rotary potentiometer is mechanically connected to the volume control by a 150 mm long shaft. It has the cooling element -the audio relay and countless MELF resistors for the amplifier.
