Soprano -
12W A-Class Integrated stereo tube amplifier
Following
the success of the much-celebrated NIMIS, Synthesis took on the challenge of
recreating a 12W A-Class integrated stereo tube amplifier. Using a new
technologies a new business development and Luigi Lorenzon’s constant pursuit
of perfection, he succeded in creating an entry level
amplifier that is able to satisfy even the most dedicated audiophile.
New model of
stereo tube amplifiers with DAC's on board, guaranteeing exceptional sonic
performance from any digital source.
Made with
the finest materials & advanced technology, this series is a sophisticated
blend of research & experience.
Designed
without compromise far a rich sound & faithful music reproduction.
The SOPRANO
provides a minimum of 12 Watts per channel, power output from a pair of EL84's
in Ultra-Linear (UL) - push/pull operation.
The SOPRANO
features a newly designed custom output transformer resulting in a rich sound
stage but with an authority that belies its 12Wpc
FEATURES
- USB -
DAC on board
24bit for a extraordinary listening experience from computer’s file.
- Phono Stage -
Hi quality
Phono stage for MM cartridges.
-SPDIF
inputs (Coax and Optical) Built around a AKM chip. 24 Bit 192KHz Hi Quality DAC
for an extraordinary sound result.
- Output Transformer -
The Output
transformer uses a Hi-Grade iron-Silicon for superb frequency reproduction
& width. With this newly designed custom output transformer
unique to the Soprano we are able to achieving a highly delicate & precise
sound reproduction faithful to the original recording.
- Mechanical Chassis Construction -
The power
supply & output transformers are held by an extremely rigid structure that
keeps the unit free from unwanted vibrations which further
helps reduce unwanted noise to the tubes.
- Binding Posts -
Gold plated
professional binding posts for a continued oxidization free connection further
improve sound refinement.
- Sockets -
Ceramic
sockets for a continued oxidization free connection further improve sound
refinement.
- Components -
Components
for the amplifier have been selected with great care throughout. Only the best
available components are considered & all must undergo an
exhaustive analysis of their sonic influence prior to final selection.
- Selected Tubes -
All tubes
used are selected after 2 stage warm up. A fully computer monitored machine
controls the process & at the end of this, selects the perfect
tubes which are then matched for a perfect balance.
