TA10.2P power amplifier Special Edition

The Special Edition version of the TA10.2P has a larger power supply (48W).

The power amp version of the popular Trends TA10 amplifier is intended to be used in situations where a volume control is not required.

Description:

Trends Audio introduces the mini-size Class-T Power amplifier TA-10.2P providing up to 2x15W output with the bundled AC power supply unit. Thanks to the Tripath's proprietary Class-T Digital Power Processing (TM) technology and our special techniques in circuit design and component selection, Trends TA-10.2P achieves the sound quality of high-end H-Fi but in a very affordable price.

Trends TA-10.2P performs very like Class-AB amplifiers with high fidelity and warm sound. Yet, its power efficiency and physical size is just like Class-D amplifiers. Even it's maximum output power is only 2x15W, Trends TA-10.2P is actually powerful to push even the floor-stand speakers with sufficient and good control of bass sound. It has no problem for normal home use purpose

Features:

- applied the proprietary T-amp technology for audiophile quality sound, low power consumption (hi-efficiency 90%) and low heat generation

- compact design (mini-size & light weight), easy setup & portable

- provide up to 2x15W output (sufficient for room of 200-300 sq.ft [20-30 sq.m])

- a specially designed AC power adaptor for Hi-Fi device is bundled for continuous power supply (need not to change batteries) and low ripple & noise.

- separated amp unit & power adaptor design to minimize interference and flexible to apply other power sources, e.g. lead-acid battery.

- built-in over-current protection

- built-in over-temperation protection

- all audiophile-graded parts and components

- high quality red double-sided PCB

- original Tripath TA-2024 chip (made in Korea)

- all small non-polar capacitors are Thomson & EVOX film caps

- input coupling capacitors are Germany ERO MKT x 2 (Matched)

- power filtering electrolyte capacitors are hi-speed ELNA brown-plated golden characters x 2

- air-core inductor x4 applied (better sound than magnetic-core but much higher cost)

- standard gold-plated audio and speaker sockets, compatible with most audiophile cables

- DC bias voltage between speaker terminals can be offset (pre-tuned) by small potentiometers. It suppresses the "pop" sound when power on/off and also increase the sound purity.

- the stylish aluminium case provides outstanding shielding & grounding capability

Bi-Amping

A pair of these amplifiers can be used in a bi-amplification configuration as in the diagram above.
