Prima Integrated Amplifier
Hybrid technology for the best of tube and solid state
Prima Integrated Amplifier
The baseline of this amplifier is to take advantage of tube amplification without expensive and huge transformers while providing comfortable output power for hard to drive speakers. Therefore, we chose a hybrid concept. We selected the 6021W sub-miniature tube for preamplifier stage (1 tube per channel). Directly soldered to PCB and small sized, this tube, built upon military standards, avoids wrong contacts due to the socket, shortens the signal path, is less sensitive to vibrations while being the perfect match with surface mount components environment. The volume control, performed in the analogue domain, is achieved by a ladder attenuator invisible to the signal. For the power part, we selected the TDA 7294V solid state DMOS-FET. This very musical integrated power circuit is the perfect match to the tube and 2 units par channel produce up to 150 watts under 4 ohms. This special configuration allows merging the best of both worlds; the tube stage is giving the texture, timbre and soundstage while the solid state stage is giving precision and power. Built with the same care as our top of the range products, it features remote-controlled volume, and includes 4 line inputs, a pre amplified output, and a tape monitor. You’ll be seduced by this integrated amplifier that achieves a stunning lifelike music reproduction.
