Arcam P1 2.0 home Wired Silver audio amplifier

P1 - 250W, RCA, XLR, 115/230V, Silver The P1 concept is simple yet stunning: take the latest in current feedback amplifier technology, combine it with a huge power supply, add a team of engineers who worry over every detail and spend months listening and fine tuning.\n\nDesigned as a no-compromise solution for audio and AV systems, the FMJ P1 monobloc Power Amplifier is the ideal partner for the forthcoming C31 Preamplifier or the FMJ processors.\n\nThe P1 is the ultimate expression of Arcam’s ultra wide bandwidth power amp design, built to take full advantage of the latest high resolution audio formats such as SACD for two stereo music and Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio form home cinema. Its extremely low noise and distortion, together with a wider audio bandwidth mean the P1 is ready for the challenge of these newer formats with a total harmonic distortion of just 0.003%.\n\nThe flagship P1 is unquestionably a class leading power amplifier. Its circuit design is elegant and innovative and uses plated through circuit boards with surface mounted components. The whole amplifier is dc coupled from input to output with absolutely no capacitors in the signal path. The power supply is built around a substantial toroidal transformer, giving a continuous output power of more than 170 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 250 watts into 4 ohms. The power amplifier has a fully symmetrical high current output stage and novel current feedback loop which dramatically reduces harmonic distortion. Put simply, the P1’s technical specification is state of the art.
