Themis V2

What is Themis V2

Themis V2 is a full-analog universal buffer, converter and headphone amplifier, evolution from the first version of Themis: a simple but very powerful and precise headphone amplifier.

  • It can convert from unbalanced to balanced signal and vice-versa.

  • It can act as a 0 gain buffer for the amplifier input.

  • Amplified outputs and headphones amplifier.

  • Interchangable and upgradable op-amps.

  • High power headphones output – 3.5W (3.5mm + 6.3mm).

  • Auto regulated working voltage.

  • Precision ALPS step potentiometer with 1% tolerance resistors.
