Octave Audio V 16 Single Ended – 2 × 8 W Integrated Amplifier
02.09.2025 05:31 | ~1 minute read
Octave Audio V 16 Single Ended – integrated amplifier with output power of 2 × 8 W, which can function both with highly sensitive loudspeakers and work as a high-quality headphone amplifier.
Octave Audio V 16 Single Ended supports tube-rolling (the user can choose KT120, KT150, KT88 and 6550 tubes) and has an extremely low noise and hum level of -110 dB.
The company used a whole clip of its proprietary innovations in the development – for example, some reduction in the level of low frequencies, typical for single-ended amplifiers, is solved here by using a new specialized output transformer with magnetic field compensation. And feedback optimization and special driver cascades expand the frequency band "from above".
The optimized circuit layout of the network transformer relative to the output one reduces noise to an insignificant value. Adaptive three-stage Class A mode adjustment with smooth level change from 100% to 35% depending on the load profile ensures that high heating levels are not encountered.
