Know before you buy
The Atlas combines a vacuum tube input stage with a bipolar output stage. This allows you to enjoy the natural, harmonic richness of tubes while maintaining the power, speed, and control of a solid-state amplifier.
Yes. The Atlas features a built-in high-pass crossover and selectable inputs, allowing you to easily integrate it with powered woofers or subwoofers for a full-range system.
The zero feedback design is intended to preserve harmonic integrity and spatial coherence. While it offers a very pure sound, it is engineered to be robust enough to drive demanding loudspeakers with ease.
The amplifier weighs 70 pounds and measures 18 inches wide by 8 inches high and 19 inches deep. Because it is not rack-mountable and generates heat, ensure you place it on a sturdy, well-ventilated surface.
No, the Atlas is a dedicated power amplifier. It does not include a remote control or a built-in digital-to-analog converter, focusing entirely on high-fidelity amplification.
No, the Atlas is not bridgeable. However, with 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 watts into 4 ohms, it provides significant power for most high-end speaker setups.
