Gold Note HP-10 BT

Crafted with top-tier audio-grade components, the HP-10 applies all settings in real-time in the analogue domain. Its unique features include adjustable Crossfeed settings that recreate a natural 3D soundstage, Harman Curve equalisation for optimising any headphones, variable gain and damping factor, and a 0/180 phase switch.

The touchscreen display allows for quick adjustments on the go, with an intuitive menu clearly presenting all the necessary information on a vibrant colour display.

Studio
Studio is our innovative set of features that pushes your headphones to the next level, fully implemented in the analogue domain to provide the best audio quality.

• Crossfeed mixes L/R channels to recreate a sound stage, as if listening to loudspeakers.
• Harman Curve optimises the EQ for listening with headphones.
• Superflat linearises the response for the highs.
• DF adjusts the Damping factor perfectly matching your headphones.

Balance
Balance allows you to control the volume of the L/R channels to ensure a personalised listening experience according to your auditory needs. This is a crucial feature since the headphones’ drivers are hard to match perfectly.

Input
All models feature balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs. The HP-10 BT features also Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX. The HP-10 DELUXE additionally offers a USB-C digital input on top of the Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX. The digital inputs available on the BT and DELUXE models allow you to stream your music directly from a smartphone, tablet or computer.

Output
A vast range of outputs allows you to use the HP-10 with your favourite headphones – unbalanced (3.5 mm, 6.3 mm) and balanced (4.4 mm, 4-pin XLR) connectors are available on the front panel.
You can also select the line outputs to send audio to the RCA/XLR outputs and use the HP-10 as your line preamp, while also applying all the Studio settings.

Mode
To give you maximum flexibility, you can play stereo or mono audio. You can also swap the L/R channels when in stereo. In mono, you can choose to listen to sum of the channels (L+R), or just one of the channels (L or R).
