Introduction

WHAT IS IT?

CanCan is a dual-channel headphone amplifier engineered for Eurorack format. Its low

output impedance yields a high damping factor for consistent low-frequency response

throughout a wide impedance range from 16 to 600 ohms (Ω). Whether you're fine-tuning

sounds on stage with in-ear monitors, or exploring the sonic depths of your Eurorack in the

studio, CanCan captures and delivers every nuance with fidelity.

The amplifier's design is committed to high-fidelity performance, ensuring an pure studio-

quality audio experience. Twin independent channels provide the versatility needed for

both collaborative and solo endeavours. Dual 8-segment LED meters offer precise visual

feedback for gain staging, aiding in the prevention of clipping and ensuring a pristine audio

signal path. CanCan's low output impedance ensures broad compatibility across the full

spectrum of headphones (Cans), making it an essential component in any Eurorack setup.

CANCAN TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

To fully grasp the function of headphone amplifiers, it's essential to consider the technical

aspects that dictate their performance with various Cans. Sensitivity, impedance, damping

factor, frequency range, and volume control are all critical in how an amplifier drives

headphones and shapes the listening experience. CanCan is engineered with these factors at

the forefront, guaranteeing studio-quality sound for various headphone types.

SENSITIVITY

Sensitivity measures a headphone's ability to convert an electrical signal into sound,

expressed in dB SPL/mW. Headphones with high sensitivity output greater volume for less

input power, making them responsive even to subtle audio signals. This characteristic is

particularly evident with in-ear monitors, which can reveal any noise present in the

amplification process. CanCan's design focuses on minimal noise, ensuring that all

headphones, especially highly sensitive ones, reproduce audio without adding unwanted

sounds, thus preserving the fidelity of the original signal.

IMPEDANCE

Impedance, quantified in ohms (Ω), is the combined resistive and reactive resistance that

headphones offer to an electrical signal. Low-impedance Cans (16 to 32Ω) are typically

louder for a given input power due to their efficiency, but their performance can also be

influenced by sensitivity and source output. High-impedance Cans (250 to 600Ω), while

requiring more power, are favoured in studios for their detailed sound reproduction, though

this is also a result of their overall design quality.

CanCan is crafted to drive headphones across this broad impedance spectrum effectively. It

provides ample power for high-impedance headphones while ensuring low-impedance Cans

receive a clean, well-controlled signal. This ensures a high damping factor, essential for

maintaining accurate transient response and solid bass across all headphone types.
