Rogue Audio is a Pennsylvania company building valve, hybrid and solid-state amplification, founded in 1996 in Brodheadsville, Pennsylvania, by physicist Mark O'Brien and two colleagues from Bell Labs. The company started out to sell its first product, the Sixty Six preamplifier, and now builds around 16 models covering integrated amplifiers, stereo and mono power amplifiers, line preamplifiers, phono stages and a headphone amplifier.
Range & what it's known for
Integrated amplifiers include the Sphinx v3, Cronus Magnum III and Pharaoh II. Stereo power amplifiers run from the Stereo 100 to the Atlas Magnum III and the DragoN, with the M-180 and M-250 Ultra monoblocks above them. Line preamplifiers form the RP series, from RP-1 and RP-3 to the RP-5 v2, RP-7 v2 and RP-9 v2, and the RH-5 headphone amplifier carries the RP-X platform with balanced 3-pin and 4-pin outputs, three gain settings and an OLED display. Circuits combine printed boards with point-to-point wiring where the designer judges it useful.
Who owns it and where it's made
Rogue Audio, Inc. is privately held, with Mark O'Brien as president and lead circuit designer and Phil Koch as a partner. All design and assembly happen at the Pocono Mountains facility in Pennsylvania. O'Brien lays out every circuit board himself, fabricators return bare boards for population in-house, chassis come from metal shops in New Jersey and Stroudsburg, and transformers from New York and Connecticut. Each unit is hand built, tested, burned in for 24 hours and retested.
The lineup in this catalog
Amplifiers and preamplifiers. The range starts at roughly USD 2,000 and reaches over USD 10,000.
Who it's for
Rogue is for anyone planning a system of hand-built American valve electronics with everything available from one maker. The Sphinx v3 is a common entry point, the Cronus Magnum III and Pharaoh II step up, and a separate RP preamplifier with Stereo 100, Atlas or M-series power amplifiers forms the upgrade path. Phono and headphone owners can stay within the range too.
