HEPBO3AH
New Head-Fier
I'm looking to get the Aeon headphones. I have hard time understanding the power requirements and if the NI KA2 can deliver the needed current.
I tried calculating myself and it seems like everything should be fine on paper.
Converted the stats to 13ohm, found the Vrms and that seems fine when comparing to the values needed for headphones based on an online calculator: https://www.headphonesty.com/headphone-power-calculator/
But the more I read the less I'm sure! Specifically around peak level requirements, variable voltage, maximum volume and distortion...
The Headphones are 13ohm 92dB/mW
And the KA2 states max output: +4.2dBu (48mW @ 33ohm)
I appreciate anyone who does the calculations. I know it's a "doing my homework" kind of task, but I honestly feel that these things have so many layers and the more I read the harder it is to understand.. :/
