INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Introducing  world's  first  line-replaceable  unit  (LRU)  audiophile  power  amplifiers.  Our  latest  GECKO® 
GENESIS  ELEGANCE  Series  power  amplifiers  incorporate  refined  multi-stage  C.R.I.S.T.A.L.®  Audiophile 
Class-H  technology  for  precision  audio  reproductions (step-up  from  previous  3-tier  C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® 
Audiophile  Class  H  design).  The  new  multi-stage  C.R.I.S.T.A.L.®  Audiophile  Class-H  technology  allows 
wider  frequency  bandwidth  to  be  processed  in  numerous  bands  of  “frequency  cells”  more  efficiently  while 
maintaining  the  desired  RC  time  constants.  The  result  –  superb  audiophile  clarity  and  an  energy  efficient 
system  with  lots  of  headroom.  Hence,  playing  a  familiar  audio  source  through  any  one  model  of  the 
GENESIS ELEGANCE C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile Class-H power amplifier in your system setup; you will be 
able to hear the track in superb clarity and details you have missed out all these while!

Its  elegant  front  panel  with  two  handles  are  made  from  a  single-piece  aluminium  block,  with  two  “quick-
release” air cooling vent covers for easy access to its dust-filters for maintenance cleaning. The GENESIS  
ELEGANCE  has  a  2U  rack-mountable  chassis  design.  Under  the  hood  is  a  brand  new,  eco-friendly, 
advanced system design using  industry's finest components. The components are  mounted on the  printed 
circuit  board  (PCB)  using  latest  surface-mount  technology  (SMT),  ensuring  exceptional  efficiency  and 
reliability. 

The  GENESIS  ELEGANCE  is  equipped  with  advanced  system  protections  such  as  the  automatic  Voltage  
Peak Limiter (VPL) for protecting input signals from overloading, Current Peak Limiter (CPL) for ensuring that 
the amplifier’s output does not exceed the safe current handling parameters of amplifier components, Very 
High Frequency (VHF) protection circuits for muting the output of the amplifier when non-dynamic continuos 
signals above 12kHz are detected, Temperature (TEM) protection for ensuring that the amplifier will not be  
damaged by exceeding thermal limits, DC protection for ensuring destructive DC signals will not appear at  
the amplifier outputs, and many more. 

Revolutionary  LRU  design  allows  easy  replacement  (can  be  done  within  minutes)  of  LRU  module,  or  
provides easy system access for maintenance purposes should you need to do so. 

The  GECKO®  GENESIS  ELEGANCE  C.R.I.S.T.A.L.®  Audiophile  Class-H  power  amplifiers  are  more  than 
just engineering masterpieces; they are where arts and technology come as one. The GECKO® GENESIS  
ELEGANCE  C.R.I.S.T.A.L.®  Audiophile  Class-H  power  amplifiers  are  world's  only  audiophile  power 
amplifiers designed for home, studio, and live sound applications.

Available in two models:
GECKO® GENESIS ELEGANCE AGE 600H C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile Class-H power amplifier; 
GECKO® GENESIS ELEGANCE AGE 900H C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile Class-H power amplifier.
