The V 110 SE is an integrated amplifier with phono stage from Octave Audio, a well-established German manufacturer known for accomplished tube-informed electronics engineering, built with a wide bandwidth. The V 110 SE brings Octave's considered engineering to a complete integrated chassis.
Key specs that matter
One balanced XLR input and six single-ended inputs are provided. Output power is 110W into 4 ohms. Frequency response spans a wide 20Hz to 70,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 100dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.1% - a specification approach typical of tube-informed designs prioritising harmonic character alongside measured cleanliness. At 451 x 175 x 415mm and 22.3kg, the V 110 SE's considerable weight reflects serious internal transformer engineering consistent with quality tube-informed design.
Sound and use context
Expect the warm, richly textured character Octave's broader tube-informed catalogue is celebrated for, with the built-in phono stage covering vinyl directly, consistent with the brand's considered German engineering philosophy.
Pairing
The built-in phono stage covers a turntable directly without needing a separate outboard device.
Alternatives
Octave's own V 80 SE offers a considerably more powerful alternative within the same broader integrated amplifier catalogue.
