And thus a fast transient can easily push an average amplifier with +/-15
volts supply to its limits.
Due to two amplifiers per stereo channel and the balanced “push-pull”
operation, V181 offers double as high output voltage compared to normal
unbalanced equipment.
The headphone outputs are disconnected by relay during power-up /
power-down.
Why does a relay make sense when switching power ?
Amplifiers generate unwanted output signals when applying or removing
power, which can damage the connected headphones. The relay breaks
the connection between amplifier and headphone and thus protects the
latter until electrical conditions have stabilized.
