ASK Integrated integruotas stiprintuvas

The ASK INTEGRATED is our brand new integrated amplifier with streaming capabilities. Designed using all the accumulated experience we made from designing our flagship integrated model ODEN.

Many of the design features of the ASK, apart from its looks were directly inherited from the ODEN. Such as the power amp gain section and the multi stage linear ultra low noise regulation. With its more compact format, truly packed with everything we could come up with, without any compromises in quality, it clearly can be seen as a derivative of the ODEN in terms of sound quality. Albeit with slightly less, but still great amounts of power.

From its 2kva toroidal transformer and massive capacitor bank the amplifier output is 2×220 Watts at 8 ohms and the peak current output is a massive +/-68A. Which makes it capable of handling the most demanding speakers on the market with ease and full control.

From the remote the user can conveniently select to run the unit in heavy Class-A or a more standard Class A/B mode.

With the design philosophy Simpler is better, we reduced the voltage amplifier stage to a singular one for the shortest signal path possible. Just like the ODEN, the ASK provides a truly balanced design without ground as reference for highest possible performance. A high-performance dc-servo that works outside of the signal path, the input stage is run by a pair of current loaded hand matched JFET:s in a foldback cascade arrangement. This renders a very linear performance regardless of the output level. Combined with current feedback technology the ASK will perform extremely fast and stable.

The chassis is made out of machined non-magnetic materials for the lowest possible electromagnetic fields for improved sound quality. The design and layout of all components are made to minimize the impact from vibrations, and like all our products the ASK is a very robust and stable unit with a clean Scandinavian design.
