DESCRIPTION

The PA-10 is the new stereo Power Amplifier of
the Gold Note series 10 featuring a lot of innovations
which have always distinguished Gold Note's designs.
PA-10 has been developed to offer great power
considering its small size. The product is designed
as the perfect companion of the DS-10 4in1 DAC
completing a conveniently sized High-End System
without renouncingto the powerand Gold Note sound
quality.

The PA-10 is a fully balanced amplifier featuring a
BTL design (Bridge-Tied-Load) which allows the unit
to be easily bridged and work as a mono amplifier
increasing its power rate from 75Watt per channel
@ 8Ω to a considerable 600Watt @ 4Ω load.
Using two PA-10 will increase the performance of
your stereo system noticeably. The existing flexibility
of the stereo power amplifier could even be largely
extended with the mono application for all kind of
speakers that require really high power and great
energy.

Like the flagship model PA-1175 MKII, PA-10
features a unique adjustable Damping Factor design
allowing for an ideal matching with any kind of
loudspeakers: PA-10 can drive either large and
difficult speakers (DF default setting) or high
sensitivity and mini-monitor speakers (DF low
activated on the rear).

Top-level electronic components combined with outer
connections RCA, XLR and gold plated speaker
terminals complete the high-level build quality of the
product. PA-10 is built around a very solid steel
chassis completed by massive panels of aluminum to
avoid RFI and EMI.

The aesthetic of the chassis is derived from the
other series 10 products integrating the PA-10
seamlessly into a coherent concept that is inspired
by the Italian design tradition.

The proprietary GN LINK technology allows putting
the PA-10 into a Master-Slave-Mode with other
sources like the DS-10 or a second PA-10. When
connected via the GN Link cable, the unit will go
in standby mode and will re-activate itself only when
receiving a signal from the master unit. The GN
Link-Function guarantees major user-friendliness
since you will be switching ON/OFF the entire audio
chain from one source only.

Every Gold Note product is 100% proudly designed, manufactured and assembled in Italy
