The SPL Phonitor is a new kind Of headphone amplifier. The Phonitor design is SPL’s high-end interpretation for what a complete headphone amplifier should be. A well chosen system of Phonitor and headphones can by and large replace loudspeakers and offers all that is required for a successful session with long listening periods without the ear fatigue!
SPL therefore refer to the Phonitor as a headphone monitoring amplifier system.
Aside from standard monitoring functions the SPL Phonitor offers controls such as ‘Crossfeed’, ‘Speaker Angle’ and ‘Centre Level’. These are the essential parameters that create the width, balance and overall space within a listening field and how we recognise them coming from the loudspeaker.
Crossfeed simulates the frequency dependent interaural level differences from both channels. Speaker Angle determines the stereo width caused by frequency dependent interaural time differences. Centre Level regulates the balance between phantom centre and L/R stereo signals.
SPL Phonitor Applications
Aside from its outstanding abilities as a loudspeaker substitute, the Phonitor offers well equipped studios a fully functional monitoring alternative.
In addition one can take along the Phonitor into an unfamiliar studio or production environment that always provides the engineers or producers own monitor sound.
Furthermore, with the Phonitor one can simply enjoy music as it was originally mixed, namely for playback over loudspeakers.
