Octave V 16 Single-Ended: High-Fidelity Integrated Tube and Headphone Amplifier
The Octave V 16 Single-Ended is a high-fidelity integrated tube amplifier crafted to deliver exceptional performance for loudspeakers and headphones. This amplifier merges advanced engineering with user-friendly features to create an unparalleled listening experience.
Key Features
- Adaptive Class A Operation: This amplifier features a three-step adaptive Class A mode, automatically adjusting between 100% and 35% based on the load profile of the connected loudspeakers (4/8 ohms) and headphones. This design helps reduce operating temperature and extend the amplifier’s lifespan.
- Extended Bandwidth: The V 16 achieves a comprehensive frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz, thanks to specific driver stages and optimized feedback, surpassing the capabilities of typical single-ended amplifiers.
- Low Noise Output: With optimized transformer positioning and advanced stabilization circuits, the V 16 eliminates hum and noise, achieving a low-frequency noise level of around -110 dB / 1W at 8 ohms on both loudspeaker and headphone outputs.
- Energy-Saving Ecomode: This model features an energy-efficient Ecomode that lowers Class A operation to 35% during silent periods and resumes full power when audio resumes.
- Versatile Tube Compatibility: Designed to operate with a KT120 pentode tube in a triode circuit, the V 16 also supports KT150, KT88, and 6550 tubes, avoiding the limitations of traditional triode tubes like the 300B.
- Design and Build: The V 16 Single-Ended is available in elegant Ice Grey or Metallic Black finishes. Its durable aluminum chassis blends longevity with sleek style. The design includes XLR and RCA inputs for compatibility with various audio sources and configurations.
The Octave V 16 Single-Ended is a versatile and powerful integrated amplifier, enabling audiophiles to fine-tune their audio systems for an extraordinary listening experience.
