The German company Accustic Arts has unveiled the fifth generation of\u00a0MONO V<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0AMP V<\/a> power amplifiers\u00a0. This time, the appearance of both V-power\u00a0units\u00a0coincided with the release of the\u00a0Accustic Arts Preamp III\u00a0– it's clear that these components are designed to look and work harmoniously together.<\/p>\n

Both assistants in Accustic Arts were assigned to the reference class.\u00a0Mono V and Amp V are very similar.\u00a0On the one hand, their cases are indistinguishable, except for the different number of connectors on the rear panel of the 2-channel Amp V and the Mono V. In addition, they are distinguished by the model designation, milled into the thick top plate of the case.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Otherwise, if you analyze the parameters, Amp V is actually two Mono Vs in one package.\u00a0Each power supply has 20 selected MOS-FET output transistors (there were 12 of them in versions II – in six complementary pairs).<\/p>\n

Power is supplied from a sealed toroidal transformer (there are two of them in the Amp V).\u00a0Each transformer is supplemented with a battery of capacities of 110,000 uF – it also increased by 30,000 uF.\u00a0Looking ahead, let's say that the power of the Mono V and Amp V in comparison with the II models has increased approximately threefold.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Accustic Arts engineers traditionally paid special attention to the damping coefficient, which they described as “extremely” and “very” high for the Mono V and Amp V.\u00a0In addition, the Mono V uses switchable linearization of the damping factor.<\/p>\n

Both amplifiers can accept balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA input signals.\u00a0And finally, the power: for 4 Ohm speakers with THD + N = 0.1% distortion, both power units are capable of delivering about 1,400 watts per channel for Mono V and two channels for Amp V. At the same time, a 2 Ohm load is also subject to both new products: with the same quality, Mono V and Amp V will give it more than 1,500 watts per channel.<\/p>\n

The amp weights match the capabilities: 71kg for the Mono V and 80kg for the Amp V. Pricing for these Accustic Arts amplifiers has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
