Combining over 40 years of electroacoustic heritage with
modern design, T+A announces its first ever headphone products -
the Solitaire P planar-magnetostatic headphones and Solitaire HA
200 headphone amplifier.
HERFORD, Germany, Jan. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- T+A (Theory +
Application), the high-end specialist audio manufacturer based in
Germany, has announced the launch
of its first-ever headphones and headphone amplifier/DAC –
Solitaire P and HA 200. Hand-built in Germany, the corded over-ear
planar-magnetostatic headphone design combines minimalist styling
and the finest materials with class-leading research and
development. Also hand-built in Germany, the HA 200 utilises the company's
flagship HV Series circuits in a Class-A design that operates at a
high idle current, enabling it to drive even the most demanding
headphones without difficulty. In no uncertain terms, T+A has
created these products for those that crave a new level of
headphone performance.
Like the company's flagship Solitaire series of loudspeakers,
the new Solitaire P symbolises the experience, expertise and
commitment in the design and development of sound transducers that
has been the hallmark of the German specialist audio company for 41
years. Developed by a team that mixes young engineers with
experienced physicists, all who share a deep passion for music, the
Solitaire P utilises a sophisticated planar-magnetostatic design
philosophy. With its ultra-lightweight membrane, which covers the
whole area of the capsule and is positioned between the planar
magnetostatic drive system, each drive unit delivers excellent
sonic properties, with the entire surface area of the membrane
driven to deliver a spacious, airy feel that is unique even for
planar headphones. All materials used in the manufacture of
the Solitaire P's are of the finest quality, featuring
aircraft-grade aluminium and the softest leather.
Fitted with the proprietary T+A True 1 Bit digital/analogue
converter, capable of 32 Bit/768 kHz for PCM and DSD 1024 for
Bitstream, the HA 200 headphone amplifier is a newly developed
device that sets new standards in terms of technology and
appearance. Each of the three headphone outputs can be
accurately fine-tuned to match the connected headphones. Based
on the company's HV analogue technology, which is reserved for its
flagship range of high-end audio components, the HA 200 is capable
of driving even the most demanding of headphones, thanks to the
high-quality power supply that features two separate toroidal power
transformers – one for the analogue circuits and the other for the
digital circuits. There is no shortage of inputs either, with
the HA 200 featuring 8 inputs, including 2 x analogue and 6 x
digital, if the optional HDMI board is utilised.
The Solitaire P will be available in the UK during March 2020 with a UK SRP of £4,800.00. The
HA 200 follows in April with the UK SRP of £6,600.00.
