Octave Black Box: External Power Supply Enhancement for Amplifiers

The Octave Black Box is an external power supply module designed to enhance the performance of compatible Octave amplifiers. Increasing the power supply’s capacitance improves dynamic range, tonal stability, and overall sound quality, particularly when driving demanding loudspeakers.

Key Features

• Increased Capacitance: The Black Box boosts the amplifier’s power supply capacitance by a factor of four, significantly enhancing the standard configuration.
• Improved Dynamic and Tonal Stability: With increased capacitance, the amplifier delivers a more stable current, reducing impedance interactions with the load. This enhances dynamic range, separation, depth, soundstage size, and articulation, offering more transparent musical reproduction across the entire frequency range.
• Enhanced Speaker Compatibility: The Black Box enables the amplifier to handle speakers with minimum impedances as low as 2 ohms, making loudspeaker efficiency less critical.
• Noise Filtering: The increased capacitance also provides noise filtering characteristics, rendering the amplifier less affected by main variations and interferences.
• Design and Compatibility: The Black Box is available in silver or black finishes and features a robust aluminum chassis that complements the aesthetic of Octave amplifiers. It is compatible with various Octave integrated and power amplifiers, including models such as the V 40 SE, V 50, V 70 SE, V 70 Class A, V 80 SE, V 110 SE, V 16 Single Ended, RE 280 MK2, RE 290, RE 320, MRE 130, and MRE 220 SE.

The Octave Black Box is a powerful enhancement for Octave amplifiers, allowing audiophiles to optimize their audio systems for superior performance and an exceptional listening experience.
