Part of Burson’s flagship Voyager Series, it delivers up to 12W per channel through balanced XLR with true dual-mono architecture, V7 Vivid Pro discrete opamps, and dedicated IEM amplification. Choose Deluxe for the Super Charger 5A power supply and a dual-chip IEM module, or Max for the Fusion Core 24V GaN power supply and a fully discrete Class-A IEM stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplification with a dedicated role\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Soloist Prime focuses on headphone power amplification, leaving volume adjustment to your upstream component. Removing duplicated controls and preamplifier functions allows its circuitry to concentrate on delivering current and control to demanding headphones. Pair it with a source or preamplifier that provides volume control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 12W per channel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-performance MOSFET power transistors and deep Class-A bias support up to 12W per channel through the balanced XLR output.

Its two-layer construction places power circuitry above the amplification circuitry, with fully separated channels and carefully zoned sections. Each section is independently powered and custom-shielded to help keep electrical noise out of the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-noise voltage regulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth versions include Silent Power Module 02 with an LT3045 regulator. The module has a specified noise level of 0.8 µV RMS, providing low-noise power for the amplification circuitry.
