What Sets the O.H.M Apart?
At first glance, the Heritage Audio O.H.M may appear to be just another headphone amplifier. However, a closer inspection reveals a wealth of features that place it in a league of its own.
Impedance Matching for Maximum Performance
The hallmark feature of the O.H.M. is its six impedance modes: Open, 32Ω, 50Ω, 80Ω, 250Ω, and 600Ω. This level of customization allows users to fine-tune the amplifier to match the impedance of their headphones, ensuring peak performance regardless of brand or model.
Why does this matter? Impedance mismatches can lead to underpowered headphones, distortion, or tonal imbalance. With the O.H.M., these issues are a thing of the past. Whether you're using a pair of high-impedance studio headphones or low-impedance consumer models, the O.H.M. guarantees optimal playback.
Connectivity for Every Situation
The O.H.M. is as versatile in its connectivity as it is in its impedance-matching capabilities. It boasts a range of input options, including:
- Balanced XLR Combo Inputs
- Unbalanced RCA Inputs
- Bluetooth Connectivity
In addition, the inclusion of a high-quality Burr Brown DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) ensures pristine sound reproduction, allowing users to experience every nuance of their favorite tracks.
Attention to Design and Build Quality
Heritage Audio has taken great care to ensure the O.H.M is as practical as it is visually appealing. The compact, rugged design features rubber feet for stability and a rear-mounted clip for easy attachment to a microphone stand. Every component, from the Alps ‘Blue Velvet’ potentiometer to the diamond buffers and Burr Brown op-amps, is carefully selected to deliver unmatched reliability and performance.
The Sound Quality: An Audiophile's Dream
When it comes to sound, the Heritage Audio O.H.M truly shines. Audiophile-grade frequency response ensures clarity and precision across the audio spectrum, while the exceptionally low harmonic distortion guarantees a clean listening experience. The incorporation of discrete diamond buffers and op-amps contributes to the amplifier’s high fidelity and low noise floor, making it ideal for critical listening and professional applications.
For studio professionals, the O.H.M provides the accuracy and detail needed for mixing and mastering. For audiophiles, it unlocks the full potential of high-end headphones, offering an immersive and dynamic listening experience.
The Heritage Audio O.H.M is more than just a headphone amplifier; it’s a statement of what’s possible when design and engineering come together to meet the needs of modern listeners. With its impedance-matching capabilities, diverse connectivity options, and stunning audio performance, the O.H.M sets a new standard for headphone amplifiers.
For audiophiles, studio professionals, and casual listeners alike, the Heritage Audio O.H.M is a must-have. It’s not just a tool; it’s an investment in better sound.
