Know before you buy
No, the Maestro is a pure analog integrated amplifier. It does not feature an internal digital-to-analog converter, so you will need an external DAC if you plan to connect digital sources.
Yes, the Maestro is exceptionally capable with difficult loads. It is rated to deliver 500W per channel into 2Ω, ensuring it maintains control and stability even with demanding speaker designs.
The dual-mono configuration uses separate power supplies and signal paths for each channel. This minimizes crosstalk and interference, resulting in improved stereo separation and a more precise, expansive soundstage.
No, the Audio Analogue Maestro does not include a remote control. It is designed with a focus on signal purity and manual operation.
No, the Maestro is not bridgeable. Given its robust power output of 150W at 8Ω and its ability to handle low-impedance loads, it is designed to operate as a high-performance stereo integrated amplifier.
Weighing 31kg (68.2 lbs) and measuring 550mm in depth, this unit is quite substantial. Ensure your equipment rack or shelf is rated for the weight and has enough clearance to accommodate its deep chassis and proper ventilation.
