boz line introduction
The Tact Millennium
Tact Audio introduced the Tact Millennium, the world’s first true digital amplifier, back in 1998. It
was not only heralded as the most important technological breakthrough in decades, it was also
immediately recognized as the greatest sonic improvement in amplification ever.
The audio press was unanimous in its praise: “Without any true competition,” “It sounded much
more like live music than anything else I had heard,” and “Overwhelming transparency,” were
among the words of praise.
The M2150 & S2150
In 2002 Tact Audio introduced the second series of digital amplifiers, the M/S-2150. Until the arrival
of the M/S-2150 series, no other digital amplifier came anywhere near the performance level of the
Tact Millennium.
The M/S-2150 series amplifiers were designed in a more efficient way than the Millennium. They
also feature major improvements in the digital signal processing section. Continuous research
and development as well as advancements in technology have allowed us to reduce prices while
maintaining quality. The significant improvements in the layout and digital design ensured that
the 2150 reached a new level of excellence and became the world’s best selling true digital power
amplifier.
The Boz Line
With the 2005 introduction of the BOZ line of digital amplifiers, Tact Audio offers the world’s first
multi-channel digital amplifier with performance exceeding that of its predecessors, the Tact Mil-
lennium and Tact M/S-2150. The first product of the BOZ line is the BOZ 216/2200 true 16-channel
digital amplifier.
The BOZ design is based on a separate power entry and control module, the BOZ-216 (referred to
as the BOZ-216 control unit), combined with two channel power amplifier modules, the BOZ-2200
(refereed to as amplifier modules). The BOZ-216 control unit can handle up to 8 BOZ-2200 modules
for a total of 16 channels of amplification.
The input AC power connects to the BOZ-216 control unit via two power entry modules. The
power entry modules each have built in line filtering. Each power entry module can handle up to
1250 W of power. Both power entry modules combined together can deliver 2500 W of power. In
this way twelve amplifier channels can simultaneously deliver 200 W of power.
While preserving the core design philosophy of the Tact Millennium and the Tact M/S-2150, the
new BOZ 216/2200 amplifier is designed with the latest in digital signal processing technology.
Special attention has been paid to board design and signal distribution between the modules
inside the BOZ-2200. All digital audio signal routing is implemented with differential LVDS logic
design. In order to further reduce system jitter the previously existing phase locked loops (as in the
Millennium and M/S-2150) are completely eliminated.
