The PA-1175 MkII is a stereo power amplifier from Gold Note, sitting above the P-1000 MkII with substantial output power and an exceptional damping factor. The PA-1175 MkII represents Gold Note's more accomplished current statement in power amplifier engineering.

Key specs that matter

Input impedance is 47,000 ohms on both connections. Output power is a substantial 200W into 8 ohms. Frequency response spans a wide 1Hz to 100,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is a strong 110dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.01% at 100% global feedback. Damping factor is an exceptional 250. At 430 x 135 x 370mm and 20.5kg, the PA-1175 MkII represents a more substantial commitment than the P-1000 MkII, reflecting Gold Note's more accomplished current engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, tightly controlled amplification reflecting the exceptional 250 damping factor combined with the substantial 200W output, representing Gold Note's more accomplished current power-amplifier engineering.

Pairing

The exceptional 250 damping factor suits demanding loudspeaker loads with excellent bass control.

Alternatives

Gold Note's own P-1000 MkII offers a more accessible alternative within the same broader power amplifier catalogue.
