I have a pair of Focal Clears on their way and was interested in anyone that has used these with the Mainline amp.

The Clear has a sensitivity of 104dB at 1mW and an impedance of 55 ohms

Well,

I can attest the Focal Clears at 55 ohms work very, very well with the Mainline!!

Was finally able to validate the Mainline;s 4 pin XPLR jack works!!

I didnt have to cut the cable or buy and adapter!

The Focals come with 3 cables!!

One is a XLR 4 pin.....

Update on the Focal Clears and useage with the Mainline....

I thought that 55 ohms and the Mainline would not be as good as other higher impedance headphones with this amp.

Fears gone....the 55 ohm Clears and the Mainlne are magical much like other pairings etc..

There isnt a recording that you can not open up and look inside of, the combination I think shows the attributes of these
fantastinc headphones and the Mainline..

A sublime pairing....

I'll add my voice to this chorus to say that the Clears work beautifully with the Mainline and are my reference pairing now - just perfect synergy

Anyone with experience with the Focal Massdrop Elex? Could be a more budget friendly pairing if its anywhere as good as the Clear, with which it's supposed so share some technology.

Hi,
Do you use the high or low impedance switch setting?

Thx
