Synthesis Soprano Valve Integrated Amplifier

Soprano 12W A Class Integrated Stereo Tube Amplifier: Precision Meets Passion

The Soprano 12W A Class Integrated Stereo Tube Amplifier is a sophisticated audiophile-grade amplifier designed to redefine the expectations of entry-level tube amplifiers. Built on the legacy of Synthesis’ renowned NIMIS amplifier, the Soprano integrates cutting-edge technology with classic tube amplification, ensuring an immersive listening experience with exceptional sonic fidelity. Engineered for music purists, the Soprano amplifier harnesses a blend of advanced digital technology and traditional analogue warmth to deliver 12W per channel of beautifully rich and accurate sound.

Impeccable Sound Engineering for Audiophiles

The Soprano 12W A Class amplifier employs Ultra-Linear push-pull operation powered by a pair of EL84 tubes, ensuring that its 12-watt-per-channel output provides both refined detail and power. The standout feature lies in its custom-designed output transformer, crafted with high-grade iron-silicon. This unique transformer significantly enhances frequency reproduction and broadens the soundstage, creating a lush and authoritative audio presence that defies the amplifier's modest power rating.

Engineered with meticulous attention to reducing unwanted noise and vibrations, the mechanical structure of the amplifier ensures the integrity of the sound signal. Its robust chassis isolates the power supply and output transformers, maintaining a pristine, interference-free listening experience.

Precision Components for Flawless Audio Reproduction

Each component in the Soprano stereo tube amplifier is carefully selected for its sonic performance. High-grade ceramic sockets, gold-plated binding posts, and hand-selected tubes, matched through a two-stage warm-up process, all contribute to the amplifier's superior reliability and sound purity. The JRC4580 Op-Amp in the input stage, alongside matched MJD340 drivers, ensures smooth and accurate signal processing, while the amplifier’s 100Kohm input impedance and 100mV RMS input sensitivity facilitate seamless integration with a wide range of audio sources.

High-Quality DAC and Phono Stage Integration

The Soprano amplifier brings together the best of digital and analogue worlds, featuring a built-in high-resolution DAC that supports up to 24-bit/192kHz. Using an AKM chip at the core of its DAC circuitry, the Soprano handles SPDIF coaxial and optical inputs effortlessly, delivering extraordinary digital-to-analogue conversion from any digital source.

Vinyl enthusiasts will appreciate the high-quality Phono stage tailored for MM cartridges. With a 40dB gain and 47Kohm input impedance, the phono stage offers seamless playback, capturing the nuance and depth of analogue records with unparalleled clarity.

Versatile Connectivity for Modern Audiophiles

The Soprano amplifier offers both digital and analogue inputs, making it an ideal companion for a wide range of audio setups. Whether you're streaming music from your computer via the USB input (compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices) or playing vinyl records through the built-in phono stage, the Soprano ensures an extraordinary listening experience every time. Additionally, the remote control allows easy adjustment of volume and source selection, enhancing the amplifier's usability in any setting.

Built to Last with Uncompromising Design

The Soprano 12W A Class amplifier is crafted from the finest materials, with an emphasis on durability and performance. The amplifier’s gold-plated binding posts ensure oxidation-free connections, while the rigid chassis reduces vibrations and interference. This attention to detail extends to the overall aesthetic, combining sleek design with the elegance of a traditional tube amplifier.

Standing at 310mm wide and 150mm tall, the compact yet weighty design (10 kg) houses high-performance components designed to elevate any listening space.

With its combination of traditional tube amplification and modern digital precision, the Soprano 12W amplifier stands as a testament to Synthesis' dedication to excellence, offering audiophiles a masterful blend of rich, analogue warmth and cutting-edge digital performance.
