Power amplifiers mono — Audionet Schrödinger

The Schrödinger is an accomplished monoblock power amplifier from Audionet, part of the brand's Scientist series alongside the flagship Heisenberg. The Schrödinger brings Audionet's precision German engineering, blending innovation from the medical and automotive sectors, to dedicated monoblock power amplification.

Key specs that matter

Input impedance is a substantial 50,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is a substantial 400W into 8 ohms, rising to 750W into 4 ohms and 1,200W into 2 ohms - maintaining the principle of power doubling as load impedance falls. Frequency response extends down to 0Hz and up to an exceptionally wide 600,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds an exceptional 128dB. Maximum power consumption is a substantial 1,200W. Damping factor exceeds an extraordinary 2,000 at 10kHz - a remarkable figure indicating exceptional control over loudspeaker cone motion. At 270 x 450 x 355mm, the Schrödinger maintains a manageable monoblock chassis reflecting Audionet's precision German engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect extraordinary dynamic authority and control reflecting the extraordinary over-2,000 damping factor combined with the exceptionally wide 0Hz-600kHz bandwidth, sitting one step below Audionet's flagship Heisenberg within the Scientist series.

Pairing

As a monoblock, two units are needed for a stereo pair, and Audionet's own MACH or Stern preamplifiers offer natural, brand-coherent pairings within the Scientist series.

Alternatives

Audionet's own Heisenberg offers the flagship alternative within the same broader Scientist series.
