The Proprius monoblock power amplifiers will each deliver a continuous 25 rms Watts into 8 Ω and 45 rms Watts into 4 Ω at less than 1% THD, but will sound a whole lot louder.
They're cute and compact but they're not class-D! They're linear class-AB for a superbly polished sound.
The Proprius is much more than an audio amplifier — it's a most incredible sounding high fidelity amplifier you've simply got to hear!
With volume controls that go all the way, these power amps can be driven by a separate preamp (for example: the Majestic pre-DAC) by parking the volume at full — or their own volume controls can be used in a minimalst system driven by a fixed output source.
As a stereo pair the volume controls can be used to balance the stereo image if there's no balance control anywhere else.
Bi-amping, tri-amping, and surround sound will benefit by using the Proprius volume controls, allowing you to easily adjust the tonal balance and/or audio image placement.
Simple (and Smart) Design:
Power amps don't have to be brutish - they can be neat and compact as the Proprius shows - and at only 20.5 cm deep by 5.5 cm high by 10.5 cm wide, the Proprius is definitely neat and compact.
Cool running doesn't always require dark, drab and dusty heat-sink fins - clean lines are possible as the Proprius heat-exchanger case shows. It doesn't overheat even when used for long intervals at maximum output.
Easy to connect and get up and running, the Proprius can be used with "single-ended" and "balanced" sources using the same single input XLR socket (left). We've got a full range of interconnect cables making it simple to obtain the right one for your Proprius amps.
Connect power supply to the "48V" connector - both signal and power connectors are locking - and attach the speaker cable: the speaker terminals accept 4mm plugs; 8mm spades; or bare wire to 4mm diameter.
The Proprius amplifiers can be used free-standing wherever you want, or mounted on the back of speakers, making them into "powered monitors" using the supplied mounting kit.
