JDS Labs EL AMP

JDS Labs have designed the Element Line to simplify your desktop audio experience. EL Amp combines a powerful headphone amplifier with a comfortable knob, housed in a precision machined chassis. Enjoy seamless transitions between your powered speakers and headphones.

Head shaking power.

Smart Logic
Microprocessor controlled relays completely eliminate turn on/off pops and thumps produced by lesser amps.

Ultra High Power
With 30V rails and peak output in excess of 1.5W, EL Amp drives all headphones on the market to extraordinary levels, from balanced armatures to planar magnetics.

Reference Grade Sound
EL Amp exceeds TPD criteria, outmatching our baseline for audible perfection.

Low Output Impedance
EL Amp's extremely low output impedance ensures transparent frequency response for all headphone loads.

Dual Gain
Low gain of 1.0x is well suited to driving efficient IEMs, while High gain easily powers demanding full-size sets.

Auto-Line Output
Automatic Line-Output allows you to toggle between headphones and powered speakers at the push of a button.
