Stereo Power Amplifier (Class-A, 2x45w)

Accuphase make some of the finest equipment in the world and we can't recommend them highly enough. All of their components will deliver a marked improvement to any system and are a fantastic base to a new build or an unparalleled upgrade to an existing one. Accuphase amplifiers will deliver all the power you need with very low noise levels.

Featuring a six-fold parallel push-pull architecture, the A-48 harnesses a wealth of advanced technology. Its outstanding performance is exemplified by a signal/noise ratio of 117 dB, output of 360 watts into 1 ohm (music signals), and a damping factor of 800. The newly designed output protection circuit can detect any short-circuiting of the speaker terminals, for complete peace of mind. This power amplifier is the ultimate instrument for immersive music appreciation on the highest level.

Features

- Pure Class A operation delivers quality power: 45 watts x 2 into 8 ohms

- Power MOSFET output stage features 6-parallel push-pull configuration

- Further improved MCS+ circuit topology

- Current feedback principle combines stable operation with outstanding sound quality

- Bridged mode allows upgrading to true monophonic amplifier

- Large high-efficiency toroidal transformer

- 4-stage gain control

- Balanced remote sensing

- Two sets of large speaker terminals
