Earthquake Sound

Thank  you  for  purchasing  this  Cinénova  Grande  reference 

amplifier  designed  to  satisfy  your  audiophile  needs    for  music 

sers are able to enjoy 

enjoyment. The  Cinénova  Grande  is  conceived  to  reproduce"true  to 

pure  music, untainted by components distortion. 

life" music as it was originally recorded, without tempering, coloration or 
compression. 

Earthquake  Engineers,  driven  by  their  desire  for  excellence, 

pushed the envelop beyond its limits. They designed the "bi-file" toroidal 
transformer circuit witch allows five separate power supplies (one for 
each channel) to be magnetically coupled to one single primary 4KVA   
transformer. The 99% efficient power supply permits large amount of 
voltage to flow through with near nil heat losses.

The "Alpha One"  is a monaural 1000 watts amplification/power 

block,  used  in  both  the  5-channel  and  7-channel  Cinénova  grande 
amplifiers. The "Alpha One" blocks are individually removable using the 
Earthquake patented "EZXS" system, without the need to dismantle the 
rest  of  the  amplifier.  Channel  separation  exceeds  the  norms  of  90 
decibels and stretches it to 110 decibels.

"Sounding  good"  and  "looking  good"  are  both  integral 

characteristics of a Cinénova Grande amplifier. The elegant industrial 
design is only surpassed by the sturdy chassis upon which the amplifier 
is built, 12 gauge steel is shaped to house the "Alpha One" modules and 
transformer.   The chassis is beautifully faced with an 8 mm aluminum 
plate, hand engraved and available in both Black and Platinum finish.   

Constructing a Cinénova Grande is a fun process. From hand 

assembling,  calibrating,  burn  testing,  and  packaging,  every  step  is

quality, efficiency  and clean amplification. 

using it.

          From our home to your home... Thank you.

Like the finer things in life, the Cinénova Grande was conceived 

with  love  for  details,  hunger  for  power,  and  gratifying  grace; 
consequently ranking it “at the top” in the realm of High Fidelity. 

Most of home theater systems sold to consumers integrate low 

power amplifier / receiver units, normally not exceeding 150 Watts per 
channel.  However,  professional  theater  systems  employ  individual 
components  which  provide  the  best  separation  and  potentially  a  lot 
more power. Audiophiles agree that an audio amplifier is the heart of 
any system; It must be able to meet the demands of the softest musical 
passage to the thundering special effects of a movie, without sacrificing 
audio quality. 

The Cinénova Grande’s untainted sonic quality is only matched 

by  its  enormous  power  and    stringent  technical  performance.  The 
finesse  of  high-fidelity  audio,  combined  with  the  mastery  of  multi-
channel amplification, make the Cinénova Grande the cornerstone for a 
high-end home theater setup. This amplifier caters to both the music 
afficionado and the home cinema buff. After all, faithful reproduction of 
music is our business.

accurate, and powerful, the 15 GHz switcher allowed engineers to use 
less number of components in the audio path. U

Working side by side with 

Engineers  from  Toshiba,  our    engineers  helped  develop  one  of  the 
fastest  transistors  in  the  industry,  a  15  Giga-Hertz  switcher.  Fast,
