Description
OCTAVE, with the Black Box technology, offers an instrument to
optimizing the OCTAVE amplifier in respect to the speaker. This
flexibility is a unique feature of the OCTAVE brand.
The dynamic and tonal stability of an amplifier is strongly dependent
upon the stability and capacity of the power supply, therefore the
Black Box and Super Black Box were developed as external up-
grades to the OCTAVE amplifiers’ power supply storage capacitors
by increasing their capacitance by a factor of 4 (Black Box) or 10
(Super Black Box), respectively. This is a tremendous benefit if the
speaker is difficult to drive. Loudspeaker efficiency is made less criti-
cal, while the amplifier is enabled to handle speakers with minimum
impedances as low as 2 Ohms.
The power supply capacitance increase realized via use of the Black
Box or Super Black Box stabilizes current delivery and reduces the
impedance interaction of the load. This improves dynamic range,
separation, depth, soundstage size and articulation, rendering the
musical reproduction clearer throughout the entire frequency range.
The amplifier remains unaffected by mains variations and interfer-
ences due to the noise filtering characteristics of the capacitors.
