mini-Zenith Hi-End Amplifier - mz-P3 APOLLO class-A power amplifier
Article
In the field of Hi-End music, Pure Class-A amplification is generally accepted as the most perfect way of music expression, but like all the other pursuits of perfectness, the cost of pursuing pure class-A amplification is also very high.
The pure class-A amplifiers can generate warmer and sweeter tone and better bass quality than the class-AB amplifiers. If you need balanced and strong power, class-AB amplifiers; but if you want to have the purest sound from the loudspeaker, pure class-A amplifiers will be the real solution.
Operation of ideal class-A amplifier Pure-balanced class-A amplifier operates at large bias current, which can produce a stereoscopic sound field easily. Such combination would create an excellent rendering deep into every detail and extremely real dynamics, as clear as a layer of mask being removed, yet without any harsh signs. Pure class-A amplifier has sweet, warm and rich tone color and better dynamics than class-AB amplifier. The transient current strengthens from zero gradually and returns to zero completely without any current residue. The control of pure class-A amplifier is as good as that of class-AB amplifier. The slight different in tone color can be rendered more clearly by pure class-A amplifier, and its middle frequency is more profound and the sound field is much wider too. Due to the high efficiency, easy design and manufacture, compliance with modern industrial specification and easy realization of volume production without complicated technologies, Class-AB amplifier has become the mainstream in audio market. Though pure class-A amplifier has lots of advantages in sound performance, it¡¦s not the mainstream in the modern audio market because of the difficult design and manufacture, high cost, and bad energy consumption efficiency of traditional class-A amplifier. So high-power pure class-A amplifier can only be seen in best-of-class high-price Hi-End equipments (e.g. Pass XA200 Pure Class-A Amplifier sold at the price of about 1,750,000 NTD).
However, the low-power pure class-A amplifier emerges in the market in the form of small vaccum tube and wins the heart of many audiophiles.
mini-Zenith high-end audio system in 2009 Kaohsiung hi-end audio show
In the 2009 Kaohsiung Hi End Show (3/26-3/30), mini Zenith publicized a state-of-art pure class-A amplifier (mz-APOLLO) which can be compared with the microcomputer servo. The neutral-point voltage of this amplifier becomes stable within 30 seconds after startup and keeps stable without subject to the influence to the changes of room temperature and mains voltage. Therefore, mini-Zenith thereby declared the coming of the pure class-A stable amplifier without the problems of thermal run away and long time warming up. Most importantly, this high efficiency framework and precise servo control can reduce the energy consumption to the minimum, thus realizing the ideal of energy conservative ¡§Green Concept¡¨ pure class-A amplifier (the measured working current of mz-Apollo is 110V 3.5A). The release of this advanced pure class-A amplifier mz-Apollo conquers the disadvantages of traditional pure class-A amplifier and maintains the acknowledged best way of music expression. mini-Zenith expects to enjoy such an honor and happiness with everybody after the release of this Green Concept pure class A-amplifier, hopefully all those who care about the ecological environment and have special taste in music would come to enjoy its beautiful sound and best control ability and testify the superb stability and environmental protection through high efficiency in energy utilization brought by development of science and technology. Just enjoy the beauty of music and beauty of science and technology!
With the objective of pursuing perfectness, mini-Zenith reproduce the high quality and beautiful recordings with the most efficient way and simplified elements combined with fine art and engineering.Address of mini-Zenith: No. 187 Da-Chang 2 Road, Kaohsiung 80776, Taiwan Telephone: +886-7-3987132 +886-936450272 Facsimile: +886-7-3807155 +886-7-3701842 Email: service@mini-zenith.com Web: www.mini-zenith.com
