Accuphase Class A Stereo Power Amp A-48

Accuphase A-48

Class A Stereo Power Amplifier

Accuphase class-A stereo power amplifiers have a long and distinguished history, since the P-260 launched in 1979, we have continued to develop and refine them right up until today. The new A-48 is our latest midpower class-A stereo power amplifier. It is the successor to the A-47 which filled the position in the line up since 2015. The A-48 achieves further low noise performance and super high damping factor that are in the class of its own. Topology improvements by inheriting important features such as the signal input stage, a low-noise discrete amp, the same circuit configuration as the flagship Accuphase stereo class A-75 power amplifier.

Description

Accuphase A-48

Overview

Featuring a six-fold parallel push-pull architecture with power mosfets, as well as ideal gain allocation realised with discrete semiconductors in an instrumentation amplifier configuration. The A-48 harnesses a wealth of advanced technology. Its outstanding performance is exemplified by a signal/noise ratio of 117 dB, output of 360 watts into 1 ohm (music signals), and a damping factor of 800. The newly designed output protection circuit can detect any short-circuiting of the speaker terminals, for complete peace of mind. This power amplifier is the ultimate instrument for immersive music appreciation on the highest level.
