Creek 4040s3

Our new range for the '90s retains the deceptively simple exterior which has become a Creek hallmark. The elegantly simple and instantly recognisable design of all creek products conceals thoroughbred circuitry, developed to ensure the highest standards of performance. Simple and elegant design solutions, honed to perfection, and bereft of unnecessary complication, have long been a cornerstone of the Creek philosophy, and have earned our products a place in the hearts of the most demanding audio critics.

Much new circuitry has been developed for the latest Creek range, and many performance benefits have been achieved. Above all else, however, Creek products maintain the integrity of purpose with which they have long been associated. Crek Audio Systems continue to provide owners with enjoyment satisfaction and pride of ownership.

Acclaimed as one of the best sounding budget amplifiers available, the CAS 4040S3 is capable of 30 watts of output power from each channel. Thoughtful design and superb build quality are much in evidence, with valuable polystyrene and stacked film caacitors positioned in critical circuit locations. A large finned haetsinl carries the output transistors and provides excellent heat dissipation to ensure reliable operation at high power levels, while short circuit output protection is provided to guard against inadverted user error.

The usefuul tone controls have been carefully designed to work only at the  frequency extremes, allowing gentle signal tailoring to be carried out with ease. Facilities include MM disk input, two separate line inputs, tape monitoring facilities and switching for mute and mono  operation.
