In 2009 Audio Line Out LLC first introduced the Rx portable amplifier. Years later much has changed in the world of portable audio. But our commitment to uncompromised sound remains the same. The new Rx is an exciting continuation of our most popular and award winning line of portable amplifiers. Redesigned and optimized for IEMs. The Rx employs a wide band integrated amplifier and push pull power supply. Improved power filtering provides an extremely quiet supply and ultra low noise floor. This means you will hear the music and nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic 15 Volt Amp Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHuge dynamics are the result of our new 15 volt amplifier design. 15 volts being the difference between the positive and the negative supply rails in the amp. Many other audio amplifiers rely directly on the battery voltage, some as low as 3.3 volts. While higher voltage does not automatically result in better sound, the loudest undistorted passages are the direct result of the voltage used. The difference between the loudest undistorted passage and the quietest passage is our target dynamic range. The new Rx’s 15 volts give it plenty of headroom for the loudest passages to be reproduced wide open and without distortion. We always want to make this as large as possible when designing an amplifier. The highly filtered power supply keeps quietest, most subtle passages crystal clear and free of distortion or encumbrances.\u003cbr\u003e The new Rx's quiet power supply uses the newest low ESR Aluminium Organic Polymer Capacitors to give it extremely clean peak power performance. The frequency response extends flat from below 10 Hz to above 50Khz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuper Low Output Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The new Rx has super low output impedance. This allows it to deliver superb audio performance to earphones and more specifically, low impedance In Ear Monitors. The theory of low output impedance is straightforward. As source impedance approaches zero, the ability to drive a varying load impedance improves. Earphones typically have low load impedances and those load impedances change with the audio frequency reproduced. Multiple drivers in an earphone can create complex impedance loads for amplifiers trying for flat reproduction. Lowering the output impedance of the amplifier helps to mitigate the effects of changes across the audio frequency. \u003cbr\u003eAnother advantage of low output impedance is the effect on damping. Damping is the ability of the amplifier to control the drivers, and without a good damping ratio (via low output impedance), a diaphragm will tend to ring or 'bounce' a few extra times after it first moves to produce music. Low source impedance prevents extra movement because it is electronically 'stiff'. The reduction of the 'bounce' in the diaphragm results in higher fidelity reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBroad Frequency Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA good audio amplifier will have at least a 20 Khz upper frequency limit. This is also considered the upper limit of audible audio frequency. As the cut-off frequency of the amp approaches, the amplitude of the signal reproduced at and above this frequency is reduced. If distortion free music reproduction is your goal, you want the amplifier’s cut-off frequency to extend past this point to reduce coloration. Moving the cut-off point upward keeps the changes away from the critical audio range.\u003cbr\u003eThe new Rx cut-off frequency is out near 80Khz. This insures that no effects are present in the desired frequency range. Our tests show the effects of the cut-off frequency first begin to appear around 50Khz. This is well beyond any audible ability to influence our target audio range. It keeps your music crystal clear and distortion free during amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuper Low Distortion\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eKeeping distortion to a minimum is critical for a high fidelity amplifier. Distortion here is the addition of 'stuff' not present in the original presentation. For example, added harmonics, bounce or ringing in the earphone, and cross talk of mixed signals are all things to avoid in high fidelity reproduction.\u003cbr\u003eGood solid state amplifier practice is to hold distortion to below .01%. Our target at listening levels is to stay well below that number. The new Rx spec is about .002% distortion. This goes well below any other amplifier we've produced to date. While not every amp benefits from lower distortion automatically, the new Rx's low distortion is certainly a strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecharge via USB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Convenience is king when it comes to charging your amplifier. And looking for your charger instead of listening to your favourite tracks is a drag. That is why the new Rx is rechargeable from any normal USB charger. It will automatically vary its charging current to match the charger used. The maximum charging rate is set at 900 mA. This allows it to take advantage of any available charger. Charge time will increase with chargers that deliver less current. Our charger uses a clever scheme to watch the input voltage from the USB supply or port. If the input voltage starts to drops, the amp will reduce its current demand. This prevents a potential system shutdown if many devices are charging from a single computer. It also keeps charging optimized to a safe charging level at all times. Typical charging is less than three hours from the included charger, and similar charging time is achieved from a standard high current port on a laptop. Older computers or laptops may produce a longer charge time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Quality USB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A quality USB cable is important to charging time as well. A low quality cable can drop the voltage with small wires and poor connections. This is why we've included the Green Line USB cable with the special edition Nickel plated Rx.

To make up for the lack of bass tones, the inside of the earpads have been tightly sealed, and the front section of the diaphragm has been made a closed space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the same principle as earphones with sealed earpieces being able to reproduce bass frequncies despite their small size. By sealing the inner earpads, it is possible to produce bass tones across low frequency bands; these become the bass tones produced within a sealed space the same as earphones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith D8000, the problem with the diaphragm coming into contact with magnets has been solved through AFDS (Air Film Damping System), and it has become possible to reduce the frequency of the bass tones that the driver unit can reproduce. Combined with breatheable earpads, bass tone reproduction with a volume and open sound only achievable with superior dynamic models is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Subtle high frequencies” In reproducing subtle high frequencies, the lightweight nature of the diaphragm comes before anything else. Compared to other dynamic models with the same diameter, D8000's diaphragm is 1\/3 lighter. A super thin aluminum coil has been etched on the extremely lightweight film diaphragm, and as such, the adhesive essential for use between the coil and the diaphragm of dynamic models - which has a very negative effect on sound quality - is not necessary. This is an important part, packed with know-how.

However, for the high-quality expression of the natural spread of bass frequencies the source sound originally has, it is necessary for the driver unit itself to have the ability to reproduce bass frequencies, and also to use breatheable earpads that are not tightly sealed. With all conventional planar magnetic models and many dynamic models, there is a lack in terms of bass frequencies with earpads that are not tightly sealed. With D8000, the reproduction band of bass frequencies has been extended through AFDS, and it has become possible to sufficiently reproduce bass frequencies even with earpads that are not sealed tightly just with driver unit ability.

The heart of the amplifier, the actual  amplifier stage, is completely revised. Because for the first time the  technical details of the Jubilee SE models have been utilized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with a specially developed power supply for the  SE-concept, as well as highly specialized, wideband transformers, the RE 320  can drive almost any speaker on the planet and always plays -unaffected by the  load - at the same extremely high performance level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis SE technology, previously implemented in the new Octave  V 80 SE flagship integrated amplifier model, is characterized by significantly  enhanced stability and extreme linearity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the experienced author Roland Kraft has carved out  unambiguously in the review of the RE 320 in the German hifi magazine  Stereoplay 03\/2016: \"We know very few tube amplifiers that are so  uncritical in terms of speakers and therefore are able to unfold their sonic  capabilities in virtually any combination.” (Please click here to access the  complete review).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept is based on the modern KT150 power pentodes. The  extremely high current of the KT150 allows a maximum output power of about 2 x  130 W with two tubes in push-pull mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frequency range of the RE 320 extends from 5 Hz to 85  kHz. Looking to the impulse power, the 320 can achieve over 200 watts. This  type of power delivery guarantees an inimitable sovereignty, with huge reserves  while perfectly representing the effortless dynamics that distinguishes Octave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA variety of modern and innovative detail solutions ensures  a constant performance level that will last for years.

This updated series of cartridges offers excellent tonal balance, dynamics, and realism, for a most rewarding reproduction of vocals and instruments. Our coil winding techniques, using ultra high purity copper wire which were honed during the development of the Lineage Series, have let the electrical circuits achieve unison between the four coils in each phono cartridge.
