EKOS ACOUSTIC THE FIRST Power amplifier, THE DRIVER Pre amplifier


THE FIRST Power amplifier

Equipped with a power of 330W at 8 Ohms, 660W at 4 Ohms, and 1320W at 2 Ohms, our High-Current Power Amplifier offers the possibility to effortlessly drive the most challenging acoustic speaker while offering the same elegance and refinement of Sound with highly sensitive loudspeaker systems (High Efficiency).

 How? We have managed to create an Amplifier capable of handling infinitesimal signals although hardly measurable (Sound Carpet) and at the same time signals of dynamic amplitude and speed “beyond” the audio band, making the system as conservative as possible in relation to the treatment of harmonics as well as their duration. The result? Timbral coherence, maintenance of harmonics with absolute rigor both through a complex acoustic speaker system and easy handling.

THE DRIVER Pre amplifier

Having the function of regulating the amplitude of the signal coming from the source, seemingly a very simple task, the Pre Amplifier is in fact the most complex element of the Audio chain, determining the character as well as the sonic structure cascading to the entire system that follows it.

Decades of experience combined with the professional heritage acquired working closely with Sound Engineers as well as using absolute reference Studio Broadcast machines like EMT, STUDER, NAGRA PROFESSIONAL, AMPEX, OTARI, etc., have contributed to the achievement of a unique instrument, obtaining a Pre Amplifier that offers together with the musicality of a valve, all the precision of a solid-state, adding extension, speed, and “black background” appreciable only at a live event.
