The Octave V 16 Single Ended model is the company's first complete single-stroke amplifier. Thanks to the use of proprietary exclusive technologies, this device boasts powerful dynamics, low noise, high stability and wide bandwidth, which is usually not typical for standard single-stroke devices.
The Octave V 40 SE integrated tube amplifier develops an output power of 2 x 40 watts at a load of 4 ohms, and has inputs for four linear signal sources. The output stages of the amplifier operate in push-pull mode, and are built on 6550 JJ lamps in pentode mode.
The model outputs 110 watts per channel at 4 ohms, which is a great achievement for tube amplifiers. The company notes that the new generation of ODT amplifiers is able to impress with its extreme linearity, stability and negligible distortion levels.
The flagship Octave V 80 SE model crowns the Octave series of tube integrals like a crown. The amplifier uses proprietary ODT technology, the essence of which is the thoughtful use of OOS (negative feedback), which ensures stability in operation and makes it possible to increase instant power output. The flagship has an impressive 120 watts per channel (4 ohms) by the standards of tube devices and is able to tame virtually any speaker system.
