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.
