High Quality Audio Power Monoblock
Built to order |
Music as it has been recorded!
With its high current drive capability, its low noise and low distortion, the 'Solo' brings any recorded detail onto your loudspeaker. You might characterize the 'Solo' by its strong and crystal clear sound, yet ... the 'Solo' does not have a sound of its own! It just amplifies and adds nothing but power to your music. Loud and clear!
This is the result of a well-balanced straightforward design and the lack of electronic protection circuits. A slow-blow mains fuse and an auto-recovery thermal mains switch protect your amplifier. That's enough!
The 'Solo' can deliver 60W RMS into an 8Ω load and 100W RMS into a 4Ω load. The low output impedance and high current drive capability make it a perfect choice for loudspeaker systems with complex multisection crossover filters. Usually the impedance of such speaker systems strongly depends on frequency and interferes with traditional protection circuits. The 'Solo' doesn't employ these circuits. It drives any loudspeaker with an exact and powerful copy of its input signal. That's all!
The 'Solo' uses a PENTAFET output stage that does the main amplification. An analog computational bias circuit accurately biases this output stage and reduces any distortion to below audible levels.
With the 'Solo' ... you can hear the music as it has been recorded!
Isn't that what you always wanted?
