1050 Mono Power Amplifier
Boulder is the ultimate combination of elegance and performance
Only Boulder has the rare combination of technical and creative skills required to design this visually stunning and most musical power amplifier.
Superior sonic performance is assured by the low distortion, low noise design. Boulder’s proven wide­bandwidth, two-stage signal path allows the powerful output section to deliver more musical realism than ever before.
Today’s loudspeakers can be a difficult load to drive, demanding very high levels of power and control. The Boulder 1050 provides high amounts of both continuous and short term power, capable of making even the most difficult speaker perform to its fullest potential.
The output stage uses fifty-six output transistors and forty-eight power supply capacitors per chassis to
assure stable, high power output into any load while maintaining detail and clarity unusual for these high power levels.
The precision, elegant chassis features interlocking parts for audible dampening and mechanical rigidity. The heatsinks are machined from solid aluminum, providing both optimum heat dissipation and large instantaneous peak power without distortion. Feet use special constrained layer vibration dampening.
The attractive appearance is conservative enough to work with any decor assuring a lasting satisfaction in your investment. The heritage of Boulder’s nearly 20 years of experience in amplifier design is evident in every aspect of the Boulder 1050 Mono Power Amplifier.
Your newest listening experience awaits.
