Unleash the power of composite amplifier topology
The CH-Amp incorporates a composite amplifier topology, combining the best of both worlds with excellent DC and AC properties. Unlike traditional power amplifiers that may experience errors and performance degradation when driving heavy loads, the composite op-amp eliminates these issues and ensures optimal circuit performance. Benefit from improved DC output offset and overall circuit performance with the CH-Amp.

Unmatched design and construction

EarMen CH-Amp is carefully crafted with high-quality components, including WIMA capacitors, audio streamliners, MELF low-noise resistors, and SoundPlus OPA1642 operational amplifiers. This carefully chosen combination results in a neutral sound signature and exceptional features, including low signal-to-noise ratio, ultra-low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and excellent frequency response. Experience impeccable audio playback and ample power, even under heavy loads.

Flexible connectivity and control

CH-Amp offers two key features: preamp outputs and a gain switch. Take advantage of the balanced and single-ended preamp outputs, allowing you to connect active monitors for a complete audio system. The gain switch provides precise control over the output level and impedance, ensuring optimal matching with your headphones. Fine-tune your audio experience to perfection with EarMen CH-Amp.

Exceptional craftsmanship
CH-Amp features a full block aluminum chassis, ensuring durability and robustness. The compact design allows seamless integration into any environment or home audio system. The circuit board is securely embedded in the solid aluminum enclosure, providing enhanced protection and insulation against external influences. Enjoy a reliable and long-lasting audio companion with EarMen CH-Amp.

Fully balanced architecture for pure sound

EarMen CH-Amp embraces a fully balanced architecture, preserving the integrity of the audio signal from the source to the output. The balanced outputs remain intact and are only amplified, ensuring flawless audio playback. The single-ended inputs are expertly converted to balanced signals without phase shift or imbalance, ensuring optimal phase alignment. Bid farewell to unwanted artifacts and immerse yourself in pure audio bliss.

Extra low linear power supply
With the CH-Amp, you also receive an additional low-noise linear power supply, designed without compromises, using premium components and the latest circuit techniques. EarMen’s linear power supply is both reliable and straightforward, with minimal noise for an undistorted audio experience.
