Below are photos of the Cary Audio Design V-12 stereo (left) and mono (right) power amplifiers. Both amplifiers are
an excellent match to the SLP-2002 preamplifier.
The V-12 stereo amplifier is rated 50 watts/channel in triode mode. The V-12 Mono is rated at 100 watts in triode
mode. Both power amplifiers double their output power in the ultralinear mode. Each offers output from 4 or 8-ohm
speaker terminals. Both have balanced or RCA inputs and use audiophile quality connections on the rear panel for
input selection, XLR or RCA connections and for the speaker output terminals.
