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.
