• Power amplifiers mono

  Concerto 25

  by Aries Cerat

  Amplifiers are monoblocks made according to a single-stroke circuit with transformer stage-to-stage communication. The output lamps are Elrog 845, the connection between the output and terminal stages is transformer. The driver stage is based on an RCA 814 lamp in triode mode, which has a low internal resistance and a very high steepness. The power supplies have 4 toroidal transformers each, separately for powering the anodes of the output and driver stages, incandescence and bias.
