Phonitor 3 is the ultimate headphone amplifier and monitoring controller with 120V technology. It offers the same monitoring quality as the big SPL mastering consoles
on loudspeakers and headphones. The analog Phonitor Matrix allows mixing and mastering on headphones in the highest quality with the same spatial perception of the stereo stage as on loudspeakers. Three analog XLR stereo inputs for various sources and a wide range of monitoring options make it the perfect monitor controller for demanding producers and mixing/mastering engineers. Phonitor 3 can be equipped with the optional Expansion Rack, which is not only a 19″ rack housing, but it also expands the connection possibilities with three additional switchable stereo outputs for active loudspeakers or power amplifiers.

Great sound for headphones
The Phonitor 3 offers connection for a standard headphone with a stereo jack plug on the front. Thanks to the enormous output power, all kind of headphones are driven effortlessly. Thus, it plays out the advantages of the SPL 120V technology and rewards the listener with an honest, detailed and at the same time vivid sound experience.

Great sound also
for loudspeakers On the rear of the device, Phonitor 3 offers a stereo output which makes it a high-quality monitoring controller for any monitoring situation. Active speakers with an integrated power amplifier or passive speakers in combination with a power amplifier can be connected at this output.

Analog inputs
Three analog stereo inputs are off ered, each with two XLR line inputs (left channel, right
channel). Professional analog players with balanced outputs and line level can be connected here, for example high-quality DA converters or an audio interface.

Milled from solid
The massive 45mm volume control knob milled from aluminum is a haptic highlight. Its mass together with the Alps RK27 Big Blue potentiometer enhances the spoon in the honey feeling even further and provides perfect control of the monitoring level.
