Audionet WATT
SCIENTIST SERIES – ULTRA MACHINE WATT
The machine:
Even more subtle. Even more transparent. With an even bigger soundstage and a force beyond equal. WATT makes another quantum leap from the celebrated performance of our audiophile amplifier SAM onto another level. Whoever wants the ultimate in a single machine – WATT’s your choice. From this day on.
Special features WATT
- Massive aluminium body and resonance-optimized fixation with invisible screws.
- Magnetically and capactively optimized circuit and device design, shortest signal paths.
- Double-mono design for maximum channel separation.
- Electronic volume control with high audio grade components.
- Non-disengageable DC servo, no sound degrading capacitors or coils in the signal path.
- ULA technology (Ultra Linear Amplifier).
- Separated power supply for control and analog sections.
- Two separated power supplies for driver stage and power stage of amplifiers.
- One encapsulated 50 VA toroid transformer with separated windings for input and driver stage.
- Two encapsulated 700 VA toroid transformers for the power stage.
- Total capacitance more than 200.000 µF.
- Consequent double-mono design of phono module for MM and MC pickups, setup by user menu.
