Our goal with Project Ember was to produce a high output, tube - hybrid amplifier that is not only highly tweak-able, but can power the majority of headphones available providing outstanding power across a wide range. Project Ember is extremely easy to use with features such as auto bias of the tube and auto heater voltage selection.
Sound quality is exceptional - Ember can sound anyway you like
depending on configuration and tube used. Nothing else made offers this
versatility.
Features of Project Ember:
- Auto bias. Simply plug in a tube from a long list of 6 & 12V dual triodes and it will bias itself
- Bias continuously adjusts itself so ageing of a tube is constantly corrected until the tube way out of spec
- Auto heater selection. Plug and play with a 6 or 12V tube and the heater voltage arrangement will be automatically set
- Lightning fast startup protection circuit with thermal shutdown protection
- Line out disconnect for the pre-outs when headphones are plugged in (can be changed easily via two solder jumpers)
- Pre-amp output so it can double as a volume controlled tube buffer
- Advanced cooling design to keep temps nice and low
- Three output resistance settings from 0.1, 35 and 120 Ohm
- 4 way input jumper for advanced tuning depending on tube used
- Selectable gain / input attenuation via a quick change module or two jumpers
- Very efficient, low power consumption
- Awesome choice for headphones from 32-600 Ohm but can also drive 16 Ohm headphones easily
- Lots of headroom and more than enough output power (up to 2.4WPC) depending on headphone and settings
- Comes with a medical grade power supply.
-
Not an audiophile feature, but you can change the under tube LED color
to anything that you like via the RGB LED adjustment. Correct, we do not
even force you to like the same color we do
