SPL Phonitor 3 DAC
The headphone amplifier, monitoring controller and DAC with 120V technology
Phonitor 3 DAC is not only the ultimate headphone amplifier and monitoring controller with
120V technology – the integrated DAC makes it the perfect monitoring centerpiece for demanding
producers as well as sound and mastering engineers working with digital sources or in the DAW.
Whether if USB, AES/EBU or S/PDIF – the integrated DAC with analog SLP120 converts digital
PCM audio signals with a resolution of 32 bit and a sampling rate of up to 768 kHz. It converts
DSD signals with a resolution of up to DSD256.
On the analog side, the Phonitor 3 DAC, based on the SPL 120V technology, offers the same
monitoring quality as the big SPL mastering consoles – on loudspeakers and headphones.
The analog Phonitor Matrix allows mixing and mastering on headphones in the highest quality –
with the same spatial perception of the stereo stage as on loudspeakers.
