Danish audio specialist Copland Audio has unveiled its more affordable CSA70 integrated amplifier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The CSA70 delivers “an exceptional sound quality that goes beyond its power rating and price”.\u00a0It has four digital inputs, three analog inputs, a line-out function, as well as a pre-out terminal, a front 6.3mm headphone output.\u00a0The power amp puts out 70 watts per channel, and a phono stage has been added for the vinyl enthusiast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unlike its older brothers, the CSA100\/CSA150, the CSA70 does not use tubes in a linear cascade.\u00a0The preamp section is a solid stage architecture with vanishingly low distortion.\u00a0The CSA70 boasts the same power amplifier technology as the CSA100\/CSA150, with a feedback structure that is inherently faster than conventional amplifiers and a wide frequency response for large signals.<\/p>\n

The amplifier, according to Copland, is designed to handle the most uncomfortable dynamic loads that loudspeakers can create, with superior transient handling capability.\"\"<\/p>\n

The path length in the CSA70 amplifiers is minimized by having the entire electrical sound architecture on a single printed circuit board.\u00a0This should minimize susceptibility to RF interference and other extraneous noise.\u00a0The CSA70 uses a precise motorized volume control.\u00a0Unlike most digital volume attenuators, it does not require additional electronics in the signal path.<\/p>\n

The amplifier is protected from several over-range conditions that could be dangerous to it or to speakers connected to it, including DC bias, over-current conditions and thermal overload – this increases its resistance to external influences.<\/p>\n
