To meet the expectations of the most demanding music lovers who pay particular attention to the final result of their audio system and who devote a significant part of their leisure time to listening to music, we have created the X-A1200 monaural power amplifier.
Both by its musical performance and its sober and luxurious presentation, the X-A1200 amplifier immediately commands respect. A monaural amplifier represents the ideal solution to improve the overall performance of a Hi-Fi system.
Indeed, this principle prohibits any interaction of the power supply circuits as well as the amplifier stages between the left channel and the right channel. The high-power supply can be described as “oversized”. This term is not misused, due to the size of the mono block, its compartmentalized design and its power supply electronics based on a 1,000 VA toroidal transformer, two power diode bridges mounted on a large heatsink and 12 capacitors of 10,000 μF each, i.e. 120,000 μF.
Combined with the 10 “very high current” power transistors (NJW0281G - NJW0302G), this power supply allows the X-A1200 amplifier to deliver a power of 450 W RMS into 8 Ω and more than 700 W RMS into 4Ω.
A switch located at the rear of the unit allows the X-A1200 to deliver the first Watts in class A (High Bias mode). Beyond this power, the transition to class AB is done automatically and progressively.
The robust design of the chassis makes it rigid, even when the perforated steel cover is removed. The interior is compartmentalized, which, in addition to increasing rigidity, provides galvanic isolation between the different sub-assemblies, installed in a very rational manner.
