Headphone amplifiers with digital volume control
prices on 18 modelsButtons
— volume control with buttons; it can be either two separate keys or a rocker like those used in many portable gadgets. Anyway, such controls are more compact than castors. On the other hand, such control is carried out only electronically: the buttons send a signal to the control circuits, which change the volume accordingly. This format is considered less suitable for high-quality audio equipment than analogue control: additional digital circuits not only complicate the design, but are also a potential source of additional noise. Therefore, push-button control can rarely be found nowadays — in certain models of portable amplifiers (see "Type"), where this solution is provided mainly to reduce the size.When you make a purchase through links on our site, we may receive a affiliate commission.
