Thank you for your purchase of Trends TA-10 Class-T stereo amplifier/Power amplifier
Trends Audio
introduces the mini-size Class-T stereo amplifier/ Power amplifier
TA-10 providing up to
2x15W
output with the bundled AC power supply unit. Thanks to
the
Tripath
's proprietary
Class-T Digital Power Processing (TM)
technology and our
special techniques in circuit design and component selection, TA-10 achieves the
sound quality of high-end HiFi but in a very affordable price.
TA-10 performs very like Class-AB amplifiers with high fidelity and warm sound. Yet,
its power efficiency and physical size is just like Class-D amplifiers. Even it's maximum
output power is only 2x15W, TA-10 is actually powerful to push even the floor-stand
speakers with sufficient and good control of bass sound. It has no problem for normal
home use purpose.

·
applied the proprietary T-amp technology for audiophile quality sound, high
power efficiency (90%) and less heat generation
·
compact design (mini-size & light weight), easy portable and setup
·
provide up to 2x15W output
·
an AC adaptor is bundled for continuous power supply.
·
separated amplifier & AC adaptor design to minimize mutual interference and
flexible to apply other power sources, e.g. Trends PW-10 PSU or lead-acid
battery.
·
standard audio and speaker sockets compatible with most audiophile quality
cables.
·
the DC bias between speaker terminals can be offset (close to ±0mV) by
adjusting the potentiometers (factory pre-set). It suppresses the "pop" sound
when power on/off and also increase the sound purity.
·
option to work as a pure power amp by simply reset jumpers to by-pass the
volume controlling circuit.
·
built-in over-current protection.
·
built-in over-temperature protection
·
audiophile-graded parts and components
·
air-core inductor used instead of magnetic-core for better sound
