Overview

The Opera is undoubtedly a very high-end integrated amplifier.

Audiomat’s Opera is an amplifier that defies trends and norms. Although less powerful than others on paper, it is nonetheless one of the most lively and dynamic amplifiers. With its natural and realistic sonic aesthetics, tight and fast bass, dynamics, and punch, this Audiomat will astonish tube enthusiasts and surprise detractors of this technology. The design of the unit around 12AX7 input tubes and EL 34 output tubes is the result of a long study, and it is best to approach this amplifier with fresh eyes, a clear mind, and free of any preconceived notions about the “tube sound”.

In practice, the Audiomat Opera is a surprising amplifier in more ways than one. With a stated power of 30 W per channel, it is able to drive low-efficiency speakers without ever giving the impression of straining. When listening to the Audiomat, the first obvious impression is one of great ease, great fluidity, and this with practically any type of speaker. The Opera avoids many pitfalls that ordinarily plague medium-power electronics.

This amp, the best ever made by AUDIOMAT, has received the highest recommendations from the specialized press.

Incredible! The secret was well kept, and yet on the eve of these summer holidays, AUDIOMAT has unveiled the release of a brand NEW integrated amplifier: the OPERA model. Aesthetically, nothing differentiates it from its siblings. Moreover, it does not replace any of the 3 existing amplifiers. This is truly a brand new product whose vocation is to rise to the top of the range. While the design is inspired by the PRELUDE model, its musicality is greatly improved. The output stage is configured in pure class A and develops a power of 2×30 watts. Its connectors are of very high quality (gold plating and Teflon insulation) offering 5 line inputs + a tape output without monitoring loop. The 6 speaker terminals per channel allow you to select the output impedance at 0 and 8 ohms. The small remote control offers the bare minimum: volume control, mute, and standby. Finally, an important detail: the power plug has a mains phase marker.

Incroyable ! le secret a été bien gardé, et pourtant à la veille de ces grandes vacances, voici que AUDIOMAT nous dévoile la sortie d’un TOUT nouvel amplificateur intégré : le modèle OPERA. Sur le plan esthétique, rien ne le différencie de ses frères. De plus, il ne vient remplacer aucun des 3 amplificateurs déjà existants. Il s’agit bel et bien d’un tout nouveau produit dont la vocation est de se hisser au sommet de la gamme. Si le schéma est inspiré du modèle PRELUDE, sa musicalité s’en trouve très améliorée. L’étage de sortie est configuré en pure classe A et développe une puissance de 2×30 watts. Sa connectique est de très grande qualité ( plaquage or et isolation téflon ) offrant 5 entrées ligne + une sortie magnétophone sans boucle monitoring. Les 6 bornes HP par canal permettent de sélectionner l’impédance de sortie en 0 et 8 ohms. La petite télécommande offre le strict minimum : réglage du volume, mute, et mise en veille. Enfin détail important : la prise d’alimentation possède un repère de phase secteur.
