＊TelosシリーズからTelos+シリーズへどのように変わったのかは不明です。

Telos 3500+ – Power Amplifier

Delivering 3500 Watts RMS with the lowest distortion figure ever measured, the Goldmund Telos 3500+ is the best and most spectacular power amplifier currently delivered by Goldmund, directly inspired by the famous limited series Telos 5000. Like its illustrious predecessor, it can drive any loudspeaker with true ease, providing an incredibly powerful sound. But with a few more years of refinement, its improved sonic delicacy makes it totally unique.

The Telos 3500+ circuitry is the latest enhancement of our 30-year old circuit that made quite a few generations of audiophiles consider Goldmund the Master of Power Amplifier design. Several R&D developers have painstakingly added layers of subtle evolution to this schematic building one of the longest continuity stories in the Audio design art.

The comfort brought by the Telos 3500+ multiple safety features makes it not only a work of art but also a comfortable companion to music lovers able to drive any ultra high end speaker system. And the Human Interface is so simple and safe, that the Telos 3500+ is now considered the most luxury-oriented product of the Goldmund family.

The hard brass structure and the subtlety of the traditional Goldmund metal finish applied to the aluminum external surfaces make the Telos 3500 a sculpture more than an amplifier. The first proud owners all decided to make them highly visible, positioning them as a work of art in their decoration.

With its extreme sophistication and price, the Telos 3500+ will unavoidably become one of the most valuable collectibles among privileged audiophile collectors and music lovers

Telos 2500+ – Power Amplifier

The Telos 2500+ is born out of the alliance of the Telos 600 and Millenium amplifiers. It includes the incredible accuracy and power of the Telos 600 and the exact mechanical construction of the famous Millennium amplifier. The Telos 2500+ has the same dimensions and finish as the Millenium amplifier, except for the front screen.

The Telos 2500+ has been designed to provide much more power on low impedance speakers. It offers both dynamics and transparency and easily handles the most demanding audio applications.

Its circuit time accuracy is unique, with more than 100ps. It uses a high bandwidth circuit with minimal group delay distortion, taking great care of the cut-off distribution nodes so the group delay distortion is not measurable inside the audio bandwidth.

This mono amplifier includes the Alize technology with an Alize 6 input D/A converter that improves linearity and static protection.

With 12 separate high-power transformers, 2 separate low-power transformers and a separate power supply for the safety circuitry, the Telos 2500 is one of the safest amplifiers on the market. It benefits from a three-year labor and parts warranty.

Telos 1000+ – Power Amplifier

The Telos 1000+ is the best seller of the Telos line. It owes its success to the fact that it has been designed with the most advanced technologies developed by Goldmund for the Telos 5000 and Telos 2500 amplifiers. Just like them, the Telos 1000 is characterized by an impressive absence of harmonic and intermodulation distortions.

Its integrated Alize 6 converter allows a perfect fit with Goldmund universal preamplifiers such as the Mimesis 16, Mimesis 16HD or Mimesis 32.

The Telos 1000+ also features a new ultra-low impedance power supply technology (from the Telos 5000) for a better speaker control, especially at low frequencies. The result is a sound that is incredibly powerful and extremely clear.

The thermal grounding full implementation (the large gold-plated copper buffer plate at the back of the unit) in the Telos 1000+ has two noticeably significant effects on the sound: better dynamic and lower coloration. This result is even more reinforced by the mechanical grounding of the unit that eliminates all spurious vibrations.

The Telos 1000+, like the other amplifiers of the Telos line, incorporates a parallel fault sensing circuit that clamps its output in a matter of nanoseconds, protecting the amplifier itself and its associated speakers.

Telos 350+ – Power Amplifier

The Telos 350+ is the latest Goldmund Power Amplifier.

This mono block is built with a new full-aluminum Mechanical Grounding asymmetrical construction. Visually surprising, the asymmetrical effect of having the heatsink on the right side and the weight concentrated on the front right foot proved remarkably efficient and allowed the size and weight of the amplifier to be seriously reduced without quality loss. This design also makes it easily stackable.

The internal circuit is seriously improved over the previous Telos and largely inspired by the recent Telos 5000, Goldmund masterpiece. Using the same type of capacitors, a revised input circuit and no less than an Alize 6 D/A circuit, the only sacrifice on the Telos 350+ is the suppression of the analog level control. Its approximate 3dB steps are rendered unnecessary by the easy adjustment to the half dB inside a Goldmund universal preamplifier.

To improve the peace of mind of clients who use several Telos 350+, its protection circuitry is the most advanced of any Telos amplifier so far; it makes it perfectly safe in case of short-circuit and many other typical electrical incidents.

The Telos 350+ real power will remain undisclosed… But the company says it will be much more powerful than a Telos 400 despite its reasonable price. Knowing that the Telos 600 has been recently discontinued, it may be concluded that it can drive quite anything.

In addition, the Telos 350 is the first amplifier that can be mixed with the existing Telos 2500, Telos 1000 or Telos 600 in a Proteus configuration, providing a substantial economy on large Proteus systems such as the Full Goldmund Epilogue. The Telos 350 can drive its tweeters and even the Epilogue 1 Signature woofers.

Last, but not least, the Telos 350 provides an internal connection for an optional pluggable DSP board, just like the U-Telos amplifiers of the Goldmund Media Room. Connectable to a laptop by an USB connector, the future DSP board will allow Amplitude, Phase and Delay to be adjusted to set the Telos 350 in any configuration, including a complete Media Room environment.
