Welcome

and thank you for purchasing the Phonitorse.

The Phonitorse is our entry model into the world of VOLTAiR headphone amplifiers. The Phonitor se has the same

audio signal amplification as its bigger brothers Phonitor x and Phonitor xe and therefore offers the same sound

experience. The DACxs is optionally available.

VOLTAiR technology is what we also call the SPL V Rail Technology within the Professional Fidelity series. This

makes the Phonitorse an outstandig device in terms of dynamic range, signal-to-noise ratio and headroom deliver-

ing an exceptional sound experience with invincible serenity, transparancy and realness.

VOLTAiR – 120V Rail Technology

VOLTAiR – V Rail Technology

VOLTAiR is the synonym for our V Rail Technology within the Professional Fidelity series. The audio signals are

processed with an unequalled +/-V DC, which corresponds to twice that of discrete operational amplifiers and

four-times that of semiconductor operational amplifiers.

VOLTAiR Technology reaches outstanding technical and sonic performances. Technically especially in terms of

dynamic range and headroom and sonically especially in reproducing the finest details and delivering a totally

relaxed sounding audio experience. Music sounds absolutely natural.

SPL’s V Rail Technology is the internal audio processing voltage (+/- V DC).

It is not to be confused with the external mains voltage (e.g. V or V AC).

Comparisons

These diagrams show how our VOLTAiR Technology compares to other circuits.

The direct relation between operating level and maximum level is fundamental for the classification: the higher

the operating level, the higher the maximum level a circuit can handle. And since virtually all essential acoustic

and musical parameters depend on this relation, a higher operating voltage also has a positive impact on the

dynamic range, distortion limit and signal-to-noise ratio.

Dynamic Range

VOLTAiR – 120V Rail Technology

Do bear in mind that dB scales do not represent linear but rather exponential increases. A dB increase corresponds

to doubling the acoustic power, +dB correspond to twice the sound pressure level, and +dB correspond to twice

the perceived loudness.

When it comes to volume, the VOLTAiR Technology exhibits a performance, in regard to maximum level and dynamic

range, that is twice that of common components and circuits given that its values are approximately dB higher.

THD measurements show a difference of more than dB compared to the TL at V — in terms of sound pres-

sure level, that corresponds to an improvement of more than %. The operating level most commonly used for

audio equipment is +/-  volts.
