Aesthetix Atlas Designer and proprietor, Jim White, debuted his new Atlas hybrid stereo amplifier. Well known for their outstanding line of and phono and line, preamps, the Atlas represents a new direction for the company. A 6SL7 tube in the gain stage couples to Bi-Polar drivers and Bi-Polar outputs. The design is fully differential and uses no global feedback. Power output is 200 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, 400 at 4 Ohms.

Specifications:

• Hybrid amplifier: Bipolar output stage, bipolar driver stage, vacuum tube gain stage
• Zero global feedback fully differential amplifier
• Gain stage using one 6SL7 tube per channel
• Stereo amplifier: 200 watts /channel into 8 ohms; 400 watts / channel into 4 ohms
• Amplifier has a built in high-pass crossover. 6dB / octave, 16 settings from 40Hz to 200Hz in approx. 10Hz increments
• Single-ended and balanced inputs
• Direct input bypasses all crossovers and switching
• Power supply uses two transformers and three chokes. The high current section uses a dedicated transformer and choke input power supply. The vacuum tube B+ power supply is choke input and discretely regulated
• All aluminium chassis construction
• Stainless steel cover for transformers prevents magnetic fields from interacting with sensitive audio circuits
• Bus technology reduces power supply impedance between output devices
• RS232 control
• 12v trigger
• Unit Weight: 75 Lbs. Shipping weight: Undetermined
• Dimensions: 18" width x 7.5" height x 16.75" depth
