Vena

Compact Digital Amplier

the closest approach to the original sound.

The Closest

Approach

Since 1936

As we all know, the way music is
consumed in the present day has
expanded from vinyl and CD into
realms of streaming and wireless
connections, controlled by the
latest smart-tablet technology. The
convenience of accessing a digital

library, lled with a lifetime’s worth

of music is everything every music
lover aspires to.

At Quad we are music lovers too and
‘The Closest approach to the original

sound’ has been a Quad philosophy

since 1936. More than just a

slogan, it underlies the company’s

commitment to producing the

nest audio equipment, capable of

reproducing all the elements and
emotion of a live performance.
This ethos has been considered
when building our new integrated

amplier from the ground-up.

Quad QA/12P, 1954. Our rst commercial amplier, later

adopted by the BBC for studio use.

Drawing from our hi- heritage, yet in a modern era of music consumption, we are
proud to introduce Vena - a new user-friendly amplier designed to be the perfect

match to an amazingly wide variety of digital and analogue sources.

Vena has captured the essence of advanced Quad engineering in a world of modern
technology. Whilst retaining the original design philosophy, users now have access to

digital inputs including Bluetooth playback, in a compact amplier without compromise

on sound. Both Quad loudspeakers and electronics are known for their transparency,

accuracy and natural reproduction of your music - Quad Vena is no dierent.

Connect Effortlessly

To Vena

Two analogue inputs are mirrored with a variety of digital options from Optical and Coaxial to USB plus
the unusual inclusion of direct linking to iPhone, iPad and iPod digital outputs using the standard A type
USB connector. Vena’s high resolution DAC is enabled for any sampling frequency up to 192kHz/24-bit.
In addition any Bluetooth equipped source can link to Vena wirelessly with optimum sound quality
ensured by the innovative aptX codec.

Vena’s loudspeaker output (45W per channel into 8 ohms) is matched by a front panel headphone socket.
Digital Optical and Coax outputs in addition to an analogue Preamp out make Vena a truly versatile
control unit. Remote control of volume and input selection is available from the included handset.

In one neat package Quad Vena provides the necessary amplication to realise the highest quality of both
digital and analogue music sources through any partnering loudspeakers or headphones. And, of course,
you can expect the legendary Quad sound performance through the precision engineering that has been
the hallmark of Quad since 1936.

Vena is compatible with the latest Android and iOS
operating systems, so you can easily stream music
from your tablet device, wire-free.

Vena encapsulates advanced engineering and sound quality inside a neat package that is

The Quad Vena is available in a variety of nishes to complement your Quad loudspeakers
and living space. A choice of high-gloss piano-style nishes in white or black, gured sapele
mahogany wood or an ultra-clean gun-metal grey nish are available.
