Commentary
Dual monaural power amplifier developed as a perfect analogue of OMEGA POWER.
As a dual monaural design, the left and right channels are independent from the power cable, eliminating interference between the channels.
It can also be used as a high-power monaural power amplifier with bridge connection.
The amplifier circuit employs a first stage / pre-driver stage with a discrete configuration consisting of J-FET and MOS-FET, and an output stage with 14 single-channel high-voltage / high-current bipolar power transistors.
The power supply section is equipped with two 1,800 VA giant transformers, and the capacitor has a large capacity of more than 80,000 μ F for one channel.
The signal transmission cable uses a shielded litz wire with less skin effect.
OFC wire is used for the internal wiring cable.
A gold-plated bus bar is used to supply power to the output stage.
