ℹ Product Information
Circle Labs A200 - Integrated Amplifier
Step into the pioneering realm of immersive audio with the Circle Labs A200 - a true embodiment of excellence in integrated amplifier technology. The A200 is a sophisticated hybrid, offering a compelling power output of 120W/8Ω and a ground-breaking 200W/4Ω, featuring balanced XLR input, four pairs of RCA inputs, and a direct power amplifier input that effortlessly sidesteps the preamplifier.
Experience unparalleled control through our volume regulation, ingeniously implemented via a resistor ladder procured from the prestigious Khozomo company. Employing resistors with a remarkable tolerance of 0.1%, our pioneering team uses state-of-the-art relays to ensure transitioning that promises unfaltering precision and durability that leaves traditional potentiometers in its wake.
At the heart of the A200 lies its preamplifier, structured around a NOS Siemens vacuum tube with steadfast polarisation, optimised to minimize the requirement of passive components to a single vacuum tube, a resistor, and a state-of-the-art solid copper foil capacitor. This highly focused minimalist approach rewards you with an extraordinarily concise signal path that has a direct positive impact on the sound's neutrality and transmission dynamism.
Discover the magic of our "Circle Power" topology, an innovative breakthrough exclusive to Circle Labs that harmoniously fuses the nuance of tube with the guts of transistor devices to deliver unrivalled fidelity. Our unique design embraces a single-ended input stage paired with a current-steered BJT output stage, amalgamating the exquisite detail and precision attributable to single-ended systems with the commanding efficiency and dynamic range that balanced systems are famous for.
Dual-mono at its finest, the A200's power amplifier is a tour de force, employing independent toroidal transformers and power supplies with a joint capacitance of 200,000µF. Elevate your audio experience with the Circle Labs A200 - the ultimate in integrated amplifier technology. Unheard is now heard.
Features:
Hybrid Integrated Amplifier: The A200 pairs 120W/8Ω and 200W/4Ω outputs with balanced XLR input and four pairs of RCA inputs for a robust range of possibilities.
Direct Power Amplifier Input: A design decision that bypasses the preamplifier for an optimal audio experience with less impedance and increased clarity.
Precision Volume Control: Our volume regulation system uses a highly accurate resistor ladder from the renowned Khozomo brand, ensuring the most precise adjustments possible.
Minimalist Preamplifier Design: Centered around a NOS Siemens vacuum tube, our preamplifier employs the fewest passive components for a clean, unadulterated audio signal.
Circle Power Topology: A patented Circle Labs innovation that seamlessly integrates tube and transistor tech for a unique sound blend.
Single-Ended Input Stage with Current Steering: This design compounds detailed precision with unrivaled efficiency and dynamic range.
Dual-Mono Design: The A200 uses separate toroidal transformers and power supplies along with a combined capacitance of 200,000µF for unrivaled power distribution and performance.
Benefits:
Versatile Connectivity: The varied input selections and output power of the A200 provide you with a vast range of setup and usage options for any audio environment.
Unaltered Sound: A direct power amplifier input ensures your audio signal remains pure and unaffected by further processing.
Unrivaled Volume Control: The precision obtained by our volume control system means you can find the perfect listening level with more accuracy than ever before.
Pure Sound: By using minimal components in our preamplifier, passive interferences are minimized, allowing for a more direct, neutral, and dynamic sound.
Best of Both Worlds: Our unique Circle Power topology allows you to enjoy the warmth of tube sound with the clarity and precision of transistor devices.
Enhanced Detail, Efficiency and Dynamics: By utilizing a single-ended input stage and current steering, the A200 captures every nuance in your music while delivering excellent efficiency and dynamics.
Superior Power Management: Separate power supplies and transformers ensure a smooth, uninterrupted power flow, contributing to a remarkable soundstage and impressive audio performance.
