Why It Stands Out
Headphone amplification is critical to capturing the full nuance of your mix. The RNHP draws directly from the acclaimed headphone section of the 5060 Centerpiece Desktop Mixer, translating every detail with clarity, depth, and neutrality. Its high output power and ultra-low distortion design make it ideal for professional studios, home setups, or any environment where accurate monitoring is essential.
