(AW400)
Monaural Class A Reference Amplifier
AW 400
A powerfull monoamplifier
The Electrocompaniet AW400 is a powerful mono amplifier, with a characteristic fast and clean sound. The poweramplifier is analytic, and build for dynamic reproduction for low level as well as high level playback.
The Electrocompaniet AW400 power amplifier is based on the design philosophy of the highly acclaimed AW180 M monaural power amplifier.
The AW 120 DMB incorporates such refined features as: FTT (Floating Transformer Technology) power supply, capable of delivering twice the current of a conventional power supply. First class overall circuit design and state-of-the-art components. Uncompromising sonic and mechanical quality.
a 650 VA FTT transformer and a current reservoir of 150.000uF delivers
1 x 400 W of clean and powerful dynamics into an 8 Ohms load. Just like the rest of our power amplifiers, the AW 400 is stable down to 0,5 Ohms. The Electrocompaniet AW 400 features a balanced link to additional amplifier(s) for bi-amping. It can easily be used in bridged mode, delivering up to four times the power.
