Ultra

 

Series

 

Amplifiers

 

Overview

 

 

Our

 

Ultra

 

series

 

has

 

redefined

 

what

 

‘entry

 

level’

 

can

 

mean

 

by

 

offering

 

powerful,

 

dependable,

 

and

 

long

lasting

 

amplifiers

 

at

 

industry

shaking

 

prices.

  

A

 

lot

 

of

 

skeptics

 

became

 

believers

 

when

 

they

 

heard

 

the

 

difference

 

an

 

Ultra

 

amplifier

 

made

 

to

 

their

 

sound

 

when

 

added

 

to

 

a

 

basic

 

receiver

 

setup.

  

No

 

receiver,

 

regardless

 

of

 

power

 

ratings

 

can

 

compete

 

with

 

a

 

dedicated

 

external

 

amplifier.

   

In

 

fact,

 

it

 

is

 

common

 

practice

 

for

 

companies

 

to

 

publish

 

their

 

receiver’s

 

power

 

at

 

‘peak’

 

ratings,

 

giving

 

a

 

number

 

that

 

is

 

very

 

inaccurate

 

under

 

normal

 

use.

   

 

Ultra

 

amplifiers

 

start

 

at

 

125

 

watts

 

a

 

channel

 

(into

 

8

 

ohms),

 

and

 

that’s

 

continuous

 

power.

  

They

 

peak

 

much

 

higher,

 

giving

 

you

 

dynamics

 

and

 

clarity

 

no

 

receiver

 

can

 

compete

 

with.

 

 

UPA

1

  

A

 

compact,

 

efficient,

 

and

 

powerful

 

amplifier,

 

the

 

UPA

1

 

has

 

made

 

owning

 

a

 

monoblock

 

system

 

both

 

practical

 

and

 

affordable.

  

Loaded

 

with

 

one

 

our

 

X

Series

 

modules,

 

the

 

UPA

1

 

produces

 

200

 

watts

 

(8

 

ohms),

 

and

 

features

 

a

 

balanced

 

input

 

connection.

   

  

Two

 

UPA

1s

 

create

 

an

 

excellent

 

stereo

 

listening

 

experience,

 

with

 

the

 

open,

 

clean

 

sound

 

you’d

 

expect

 

from

 

quality

 

monoblock

 

amplifiers.

  

Various

 

multi

channel

 

setups

 

are

 

possible,

 

combining

 

UPA

1s

 

with

 

a

 

UPA

2,

 

UPA

5

 

or

 

UPA

7.

  

A

 

dedicated

 

monoblock

 

5

 

or

 

7

 

channel

 

system

 

with

 

UPA

1s,

 

of

 

course,

 

will

 

please

 

the

 

most

 

discriminating

 

ear

 

and

 

wake

 

up

 

any

 

size

 

speaker.

 

 

UPA

2

 

A

 

two

 

channel

 

amplifier

 

with

 

a

 

small

 

enough

 

footprint

 

for

 

an

 

average

 

bookshelf,

 

but

 

with

 

enough

 

power

 

to

 

shake

 

the

 

room.

  

We

 

might

 

say

 

this

 

amplifier

 

is

 

‘modest’

 

compared

 

to

 

our

 

XPA

2,

 

but

 

the

 

truth

 

is

 

that

 

it’s

 

a

 

bit

 

of

 

a

 

show

off.

  

It

 

can

 

easily

 

keep

 

pace

 

with

 

‘bigger

 

amps’

 

and

 

will

 

embarrass

 

receivers

 

with

 

similar

 

power

 

claims.

 

 

The

 

UPA

2

 

is

 

perfect

 

for

 

office,

 

bedroom,

 

den

 

or

 

outdoor

 

speakers.

  

Of

 

course,

 

it’s

 

also

 

an

 

outstanding

 

choice

 

for

 

powering

 

surround

 

speakers,

 

and

 

can

 

be

 

used

 

in

 

a

 

variety

 

of

 

multi

channel

 

setups.

 

 

125

 

watts

 

into

 

8

 

ohms,

 

185

 

watts

 

into

 

4

 

ohms.

 

 

UPA

5

 

and

 

UPA

7

 

Need

 

five

 

channels

 

or

 

seven?

  

That’s

 

the

 

biggest

 

difference

 

between

 

these

 

two

 

amplifiers.

  

The

 

UPA

7

 

has

 

a

 

slightly

 

larger

 

transformer

 

to

 

compensate

 

for

 

the

 

extra

 

channels,

 

but

 

the

 

power

 

output,

 

sound

 

quality,

 

and

 

performance

 

between

 

the

 

two

 

units

 

is

 

closely

 

matched.

 

 

The

 

same

 

basic

 

design/platform

 

used

 

with

 

the

 

X

Series

 

began

 

with

 

the

 

Ultra

 

line.

  

These

 

amplifiers

 

are

 

robust,

 

high

performance

 

overachievers

 

that

 

prove

 

what

 

real

 

power

 

can

 

do

 

when

 

applied

 

properly.

   

 

Ideal

 

choices

 

for

 

a

 

first

 

separates

 

purchase,

 

or

 

as

 

part

 

of

 

a

 

growing

 

A/V

 

system,

 

the

 

UPA

5

 

and

 

UPA

7

 

can

 

be

 

used

 

in

 

a

 

variety

 

of

 

multi

channel

 

setups

 

or

 

media

 

applications.

 

 

125

 

watts

 

into

 

8

 

ohms,

 

185

 

watts

 

into

 

4

 

ohms.
