CREEK OBH-21 & OBH-21SE HEADPHONE AMPLIFIERS
Direct replacements for the successful OBH-11/11SE these latest headphone amplifiers from creek have been restyled with a brushed silver front panel and increased case depth, to keep in style with the rest of the Creek family of products. Both amplifiers now feature two headphone sockets.
The OBH-21 is a minature audio amplifier, designed specifically to drive two pairs of low to medium impedance (30ohm-300ohm) headphones from a line level source. The OBH-21SE is a high-end version using more expensive components and (OBH-2) power supply. It is more efficient to have a small amp to do this rather than waste the power of a full size one when only driving headphones.
The OBH-21 and OBH-21SE are compatible with any source at line level. For example: an average output level CD player can be connected directly to the input of the OBH-21/21SE, just as it could also be used in conjunction with a stand-alone pre-amplifier or integrated amplifier which doesn't have a headphone output.
