  • Page 4 Lehmannaudio Manual Black Cube Linear - page 4 - _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why headphones? When you use headphones you can reach a very high level of sound reproduction at a fraction of the price you would have to spend for a regular hfi setup with high quality loudspeakers.
  • Page 5 Lehmannaudio Manual Black Cube Linear - page 5 - _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If the power is doubled then the resulting sound pressure level is 3dB higher. If this is calculated the other way round it means that only half of the power is needed when using a headphone with 3dB more effectivity to reach the same sound pressure level.

  • Page 7 Purchasing the Black Cube Linear was a perfect stepp in the right direction. All figures were taken from freely available data sheets of different manufacturers and have been partly recalculated from other dimensions.
  • Page 8 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Elements at the front section 1. Power LED When this LED lits the Black Cube Linear is connected to mains voltage switched on and ready for being used. 2. Headphone output 1 6,3mm headphone jack for common headphones.

  • Page 10 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Adjustment of maximum gain You can easily adjust the maximum gain of the Black Cube Linear to use any available headphone with best results independent from effectivity or impedance. The gain setting has direct effect on the active gain of the input stage which is placed after the volume potentiometer.
