Pathos InPower Monoblock Power Amplifier
The InPower monoblock power amplifiers represent the evolution of INPOL® circuitry that originated with the T.T. integrated amplifier. The purpose of the InPower project was to design an amplifier able to drive all loudspeakers. even in spacious listening environments. All this with the same state-of-the-art sound quality of the T.T.
How to achieve a wider tension swing without increasing distortion nor introducing any feedback whatsoever?
The major problem was solved by adopting an intrinsically balanced input stage which drives a double INPOL® stage in balanced configuration, using a double triode tube — which is formed by two single triodes intrinsically identical to each other. Since they are made with the same material, at the same temperature, in the same environmental condition and at the same time — we can achieve transfer curves which are almost identical to each other. These two triodes are driven in opposite phase as to neutralize the curve distortion. This regards tension amplification. As for current amplification, the same result was obtained with a Double INPOL® circuit using selected NPN components.
The InPower reproduces sound which is exquisitely “tube” in terms of musicality, warmth and transparency, with the speed and dynamics typical of the most respected solid stale amplifiers.
As is custom with Pathos, all components are care fully selected, the signal wiring is Pathos pure silver cable, materials and craftsmanship are of the highest level and the industrial design is equal to the sonic performance.
In essence, the InPower introduces to the world a truly unique weaving of power and passion.
