The MalValve Head Amp Three Mk. IV is a fully symmetrical, high-performance headphone amplifier made in Germany, aimed at users who demand the highest levels of flexibility, sound quality, and craftsmanship. It is designed to drive dynamic, magnetostatic, and electrostatic headphones of all impedances and also offers optional outputs and adjustment options to optimally power even specific headphone types.
The device uses pure tube technology in the signal path, combined with a sophisticated network of input and output transformers and a digital relay volume control. Voices, timbres, fine dynamics, and transients are reproduced vividly, richly, and with rich, controlled power. The modular design and high-quality aluminum construction make the amplifier robust and easy to service.
