The
deceptively simple exterior design of the 40 series conceals thoroughbred
circuitry, which has been skilfully developed over the last few years by Creek
engineers to give the highest possible performance for the least possible
number of components. The purpose of this is to eliminate all unnecessary
complication, giving a reproduction of sound with as little distortion of the
signal as possible, or in other words, resulting in an output signal which is
virtually identical to the original.
For those
occasions when the original signal is imperfect, the 4040s2 is equipped with
tone
The
4040s2 packs a punch. In its latest form it is capable of 40 W into 8 Ohm one
channel driven, and will hold up well into more difficult loads. The build
quality of the Series 2 is the highest yet. Low leakage electrolytics,
polystyrene, and metallized stacked film capacitors are used in its signal
paths. 20 Amp power transistors are clamped to a large finned heatsink that
protrudes from the back panel, giving better dissipation for the increased
power of the amp. The output circuitry is equipped with full over-voltage and
current protection circuitry, making it virtually immune from outside abuse.
