Audio Analogue AACento integrated stereo amplifier

Integrated Amplifier

AAcento is the integrated amplifier of the PureAA line. This product range was created to recall the philosophy behind Audio Analogue's most successful products: combining simple design with reference sound performance to create products offering outstanding value for money.

Thanks to the collaboration with AIRTECH laboratories during the development of the Anniversary line, many design ideas were adopted for the PureAA series. Unlike the Anniversary range, where each model is designed for a specific purpose, the PureAA line also aims to provide a wider range of functions and connections for users seeking greater versatility in a single product.

Every aspect of AAcento has been developed with extreme care and uncompromising engineering solutions rarely found in products of this category and price range.

• Relay input selector to minimize non-linearities.
• MM/MC phono input with switchable subsonic filter.
• Pure Class A headphone amplifier built into the unit.
• Direct Mode for use as a power amplifier in a home theatre system.
• Microcontroller management with proprietary software, channel balance adjustment and four selectable volume scales.

Technical Description

The AAcento features a 480W toroidal transformer designed specifically for this model. Zero global feedback is employed in both the preamplifier and power amplifier sections. Digital volume control operates without the use of operational amplifiers, while relay input switching minimizes non-linearities.

The amplifier includes an MM/MC phono input with a switchable subsonic filter, a built-in pure Class A headphone amplifier, a native differential input and a Direct Mode that allows the unit to operate as a power amplifier within a home theatre system.

Controls are managed by a microcontroller running proprietary software and include channel balance adjustment and four selectable volume scales. The amplifier is supplied with a solid aluminium remote control and is available in natural aluminium or satin black finishes.
