AW 180 monoblock
The Electrocompaniet AW180M monaural power amplifier represents the ultimate fidelity in sound reproduction.
Audiophiles, recording engineers, record producers and reviewers around the world rely on the AW180M’s faithful reproduction of the original master recording.
The stunning capabilities of the Electrocompaniet AW180M cannot be explained – they have to be experienced.
The AW180M incorporates such refined features as: FTT (Floating Transformer Technology) power supply, capable of delivering twice the current of a conventional power supply, a first class overall circuit design and state-of-the-art components. The Electrocompaniet AW180M 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.
