8 Technical information
8.1 Construction
The AMP1 V2 is constructed as a dual-mono amplifier. SMD techniques
are used to optimise high-frequency characteristics. All signal paths are
reduced to minimum length. No elements malicious to sound quality (i.e.
coupling capacitors, coils, relays) are located in the signal path. The con-
struction is magnetically and capacitively optimised. Negative magnetic
and electric influence and interaction between input, decoupling and
power section are reduced to a residual minimum.
8.2 Power supply
The input sections are supplied by a 50 VA toroidal transformer with
separate windings for stereo channels. Two potted 700 VA toroidal trans-
formers feed the power section. The control unit is supplied by separate
transformer.
The capacity of the fast and pulse-resistant high-current capacitors is
188,000
m
F. The voltages are regulated with discrete and optimised ultra
high-speed MOSFET regulators.
