The Karan LINEa & PSUa two—unit preamplifier from the Master Collection series is the highest level of technology in the Karan Acoustics hierarchy. The devices in this series were created in honor of the company's 30th anniversary, and reflect all the knowledge and accumulated experience of Karan Acoustics engineers in designing and manufacturing uncompromising high-quality sound instruments.

The preamp is built on the dual mono principle and has received three completely independent power sources (for each channel and for control boards), as well as a solid battery of filter capacities. The volume control in the Karan lineB preamp is stepwise, using a set of relay-switched resistances. The controller is controlled by a microprocessor, which made it possible to equip the preamplifier with an original round remote control made of aluminum. The internal wiring is done with cables from Cardas Audio.

The Karan Master Collection POWERb amplifiers incorporate new performance and design elements that make them the best amplifiers Karan has ever produced. POWERb uses superior passive and active components, including customized ones, and improves on its previous models in all respects. Ensuring optimal audio signal processing, Karan uses printed circuit boards with copper thickness from 75 to 100 microns on all layers. These electronic boards are completely decoupled and isolated from the device chassis.

Karan Acoustics PowerA Mono is a monoblock power amplifier. The amplifier uses passive and active components, as well as toroidal transformers.

Karan Acoustics is a powerful mono setup for the most demanding users. Their output power is 1200 watts at a load of 8 ohms. In the designs of the rest, as well as the master collection, POWERb amplifiers use only the best passive and active components (resistors, capacitors, bipolar output devices, internal wiring, connectors), as well as extremely large but extremely quiet toroidal transformers in mechanical and other respects.

The huge reserves of the model's capacity ensure a fast and dynamic correct response and a huge reserve of power when dealing with complex and multi-layered music content. As many as nine (9) stages of filtering and regulating current and voltage per channel were implemented, as well as separate power sources for each audio channel (separate transformers and control circuits). It goes without saying that all digital circuits, input selection, and illuminated displays have their own dedicated, separate transformers, regulation, and filtering.
