The VMV A1 Pro is a stereo power amplifier from SMSL, built into a remarkably compact and lightweight chassis with exceptionally clean measured performance. The VMV A1 Pro brings SMSL's value-focused engineering to two-channel power amplification.
Key specs that matter
Input sensitivity is 680mV. Output power is 85W into 8 ohms, rising to 160W into 4 ohms. Signal-to-noise ratio is 109dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at an exceptionally low 0.003% with full global feedback, and maximum power consumption at 40W - a remarkable figure indicating exceptional efficiency. At a remarkably compact 210 x 47.6 x 201.6mm and just 1.56kg, the VMV A1 Pro is among the lightest stereo power amplifiers with this output currently available.
Sound and use context
Expect clean amplification reflecting the strong 109dB signal-to-noise and low 0.003% distortion figures, packed into a remarkably compact and lightweight chassis with exceptional power efficiency.
Pairing
SMSL's own DL400 DAC or RAW-HA1 integrated amplifier share the brand's coherent value-focused engineering philosophy, forming natural companion components.
Alternatives
SMSL's own RAW-HA1 offers an all-in-one integrated alternative combining preamplification, DAC and streaming within one chassis instead.
