Audio Analogue Absolute 50W pure Class A/150W Class AB Integrated Amplifier

Audio Analogue ABsolute Integrated Amplifier Delivers Unmatched Audiophile Experience

The Audio Analogue ABsolute Integrated Amplifier is a culmination of Audio Analogue’s 25 years of expertise in high-end audio design, merging the elegance of Italian craftsmanship with top-tier sound engineering. This amplifier offers users the ultimate flexibility with the unique capability to operate in Pure Class A or Class AB modes, delivering either the delicate, precise sound associated with Class A or the raw power of Class AB, all at the touch of a button. With audiograde components selected to perform at the highest level in both modes, this amplifier provides an experience tailored to the discerning audiophile.

Design Highlights Offer Refined Aesthetics and Uncompromising Build Quality

Crafted in Italy, the ABsolute amplifier embodies a sleek, architectural design highlighted by solid aluminium heatsinks, machined to exact specifications for optimal thermal efficiency and aesthetic appeal. This solid construction not only ensures durability and long-term performance but also captures the artistry of Italian manufacturing. Available in natural aluminium or satin black, the ABsolute amplifier offers a striking presence that blends into any high-end audio setup. The solid aluminium remote control echoes the amplifier’s build quality, providing ease of use with a luxurious touch.

Precision Engineered Zero Feedback Circuit with SeGeSTA Configuration

At its core, the global zero feedback circuit designed by Airtech uses the SeGeSTA configuration, aimed at minimising distortion and preserving audio purity. This circuitry is carefully integrated across all stages of the amplifier through independent, fully balanced boards in a dual-mono layout with discrete component circuits. Such an architecture significantly reduces crosstalk and ensures a clean signal path, providing a crystal-clear soundstage with wide frequency response and exceptional detail retrieval.

Customisable Sound with Selectable Volume Curves and Brightness Modes

The ABsolute amplifier gives users the ability to fine-tune the listening experience. Its microcontroller management system enables volume adjustment with four selectable curves, optimising sensitivity to match a wide range of speakers. Additionally, the LED brightness can be set to three different levels, allowing for a custom display that suits any lighting environment. The RR version of the amplifier further refines the listening experience with an analog volume attenuation based on relays and resistors, enhancing the clarity and performance across all sound parameters.

Exceptional Power Output and Performance for All Speaker Setups

The ABsolute amplifier is built to handle high-performance speakers with ease, offering a power output of 50W per channel in Class A and a formidable 150W in Class AB for 8Ω loads. For lower impedance setups, it delivers up to 500W per channel in Class AB for 2Ω loads, making it an ideal choice for demanding audiophiles. The high damping factor (89 in Class A and 57 in Class AB) ensures tight, controlled bass and impactful sound reproduction across frequencies. The amplifier’s SNR of >93dB in Class A and >100dB in Class AB offers an ultra-quiet background for rich dynamics and depth in playback.

Audiograde Components and Internal Wiring for Pure, Pristine Sound

Every detail of the ABsolute amplifier is crafted with audiophile-grade components, from the oversized military resistors that reduce thermal distortion to the pure solid copper 7N OCC internal wiring for optimal conductivity. Golden copper output connectors ensure minimal resistance and maintain the purity of the audio signal, while the filter capacity of 81,600 µF per channel supports precise bass reproduction and stability even during demanding playback.
