The latest product is a headphone amplifier.

Vincent KHV-200 headphone amplifier technology

The new headphone amp was largely developed by Dipl.-Ing. Frank Blöhbaum, who was already responsible for various Vincent components as a developer.

In contrast to loudspeakers, the range of possible connection impedances of headphones is significantly greater: high-quality headphones are available in an impedance range of around 16 to 600 ohms, and sometimes even higher. The Hybrid concept of the Vincent KHV-200 should be able to cover the entire area well. A gain switch on the back supports this because it allows the Gain factor reduced by 8 dB on request.

Vincent has two E180F type pentodes as well as a ECC82 double triode installed. There are two high level inputs (switchable on the front). Headphones can either be connected via the 6.3 mm stereo jack socket on the front or an XLR-4 connection on the rear.
