    Nuprime Audio AMG STA-SE

    The “Power Engine” is a low-power switching power supply (SMPS) for low voltages on the amp board. The large linear power supply provides high voltages for the Class-D power stage. According to the manufacturer, they have made a breakthrough in SMPS design that can rival linear power supplies. This “Power Engine” is the first use of such a design for AMG STA-SE.

  • AMG STA

    Nuprime Audio AMG STA

    The NuPrime AMG STA includes several advanced power amplifier design innovations. Its best-in-class features include a 1 mOhm input impedance, high instantaneous current for power supply, a 700 kHz switching frequency, and an unbalanced Class A non-negative module combined with a Class D dual feedback module for 300W mono amplifier power.

  • AMG PRA

    Nuprime Audio AMG PRA

    NuPrime is a small AMG STA power amplifier capable of delivering 300 watts at 8 ohms in bridge mode and 320 Watts at 4 ohms load. He achieves such indicators by using a clever scheme that combines two cascades – one in class A on JFET transistors and the second in class D. In traditional stereo mode, the power is 120 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 200 watts at 4 ohms.

  • STA-9X

    The STA-9 is a Class A+D stereo amplifier. In stereo mode, its power is 120 watts per channel, but it can also work in mono amplifier mode with a power of 290 watts. The amplifier circuit is borrowed from the IDA-8, which is based on a high-impedance class A pre-stage and a Class D power stage. Thanks to this, the novelty sounds "almost lamp-like", but at the same time it is clear and reliable. The 95 dB signal-to-noise ratio is achieved by JFET transistors simulating triodes.
