Audion Tube Amplifiers, Pre-Ampliers and Electronics

 

Elite 3 box 845 Single ended
Mono-block Hard wired

Audion Elite 845 3 Box power amplifier is a budget version of the Legendary “Black Shadow”.  Whilst keeping the “Black Shadows” features of, speed, precision and phenomenal Bass extensions, the Elite uses our unique anodised aluminium “Uni-Chassis™”, the Elite has been designed to deliver pure Class A power (25 Watts RMS from a single 845 Tube). The design has the benefits of no magnetic interference,  robust construction, and larger internal volume for optimized placement and orientation of all circuit components, and optimized routing of all internal wiring, resulting in improved signal to noise ratio, channel separation and crosstalk, frequency response, and distortion. This amplifier is hand built and hard wired using solid silver 5 *9's in all of the audio path. Wherever possible the components are sourced from Europe and the USA and avoiding inferior Chinese components. This triode based mono-block amp uses no (zero) feedback in the design.

Amplifier matching

The Elite 845 SE amplifier comes with Shuguang 845's as standard but can also be supplied with a choice of 845 tubes upon request. This amp will work with most speakers over of 83 - 4db efficiency. Ideally matched with our range of Electron cables. The amps deliver 25 watts into 8 ohms This has both 4 and 8 ohm outputs.. Upgrade options are available for this model, see upgrade options at end.

Quality both inside and out

Having a volume control on the front and mono inputs on the rear means that a pre-amplifier is not necessary with this unit, but is advised . These amps are all auto biased. It will take almost any 845 tube(Unit is supplied with Shuguang 845's .The Elite 3 box single ended amplifier 845 Class A power amplifier has 4 & 8 ohm outputs and mono inputs. The boxes are arranged that all ac transformers are held in a separate power supply box. The power amplifier boxes are split bi-laterally so that all power supply components are in teh upper half and DC components in the lower half.

The Elite 3 box single ended amplifier 845 is hard wired (Air Wired©) Class A mono-block power amplifier. It is built with components sourced from Europe and the US. Where possible we avoid the use of any Chinese component. Our output transformers are wound in-house to our exacting standards and many of the components are either made by us or specifically for us. We use Shuguang 845's and NOS E182CC & NOS Russian 6H23N.  This amp is designed for difficult loads, loads of power and yet very musical.
