AURORA Multi-Channel Amplifier

Significant Design Features

200 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms • A custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and
thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in increased current speed and better
dynamics • An oversized power supply • “Class A” output to 5 watts for greater efficiency • Fully balanced circuitry up to the
output stage • Extremely fast circuitry for real-time amplification • "Rack mount ready" faceplate with removeable aluminum
cheeks to cover the rack holes when not in use • Thermally inter-connected chassis design to maintain identical operating
temperatures for all channels which enhances sonic harmony between channels • Virtually non-existent intermodulation
distortion • Precision matched Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio frequency
spectrum • A high damping factor which yields superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed and refined timbre accuracy •
Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations • Accurate matching of the highest quality
electronic components • 12 Volt trigger for remote operation • Very short signal path for a faster transient response • A
symmetrical circuit design • Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics • Designed to be
powered up at all times for optimal performance • Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
