The Booster is a monoblock power amplifier from MasterSound, built with a substantial input impedance. The Booster brings MasterSound's considered engineering to dedicated monoblock power amplification.

Key specs that matter

Input impedance is 50,000 ohms on both balanced and single-ended connections. Output power is 80W into 8 ohms. Frequency response spans 12Hz to 29,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. At 450 x 430 x 270mm and 32kg, the Booster represents a substantial monoblock commitment reflecting MasterSound's considered Italian tube-informed engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect the warm, richly textured character MasterSound's broader Italian tube-informed engineering philosophy is celebrated for, with the substantial 80W output providing capable dynamic performance for a monoblock design.

Pairing

As a monoblock, two units are needed for a stereo pair, and MasterSound's own preamplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings.

Alternatives

MasterSound's own Monoblock 845 offers a related model within the same broader monoblock catalogue.
