Audio Analogue "Maestro 2.0" integrated amplifier

Integrated Amplifier

The Maestro 2.0 integrated amplifier is the latest addition to the Anniversary line. Derived from the Maestro Anniversary, it is its natural evolution and exaltation at the highest levels. Developed by the Airtech team, the Maestro 2.0 is a perfect combination of musicality and almost unlimited power.

As in the Maestro Anniversary, all stages of the new Maestro 2.0 are without global feedback. The output power has been increased to 200W@8Ω with the consequent scaling of all driver and power stages, which now use four pairs of transistors per channel. The basic configuration remains that of the reverse cascode which is comparable to a single gain stage followed by the output buffer.

Compact and elegant shapes, remarkable power that doubles as impedance decreases, extraordinary driving skills combined with a unique musicality and refinement: all of these features make the Maestro 2.0 a practically perfect integrated amplifier.

Key Features

• 200W per channel into 8Ω – exceptional power and loudspeaker control.
• Fully balanced dual-mono architecture – maximises channel separation and signal integrity.
• Zero global feedback design – preserves musical transparency and natural sound.
• Four transistor pairs per channel – increased current capability and stability.
• Two 670W toroidal transformers – independent power supplies for each channel.
• RR analogue volume control – relay and resistor attenuation with digital precision and analogue signal path.
• 7N OCC solid copper internal wiring – the same conductors used in Airtech premium cables.
• Premium audiograde components – military-grade resistors, audiograde capacitors and oversized components.
• Four selectable volume curves – matched to different loudspeaker sensitivities.
• Solid aluminium remote control – supplied as standard.

Technical Description

The Maestro 2.0 is an integrated amplifier with fully balanced circuitry and zero global feedback. The configuration is completely dual-mono starting from two 670W toroidal transformers. Each stage of the amplifier has a dedicated board for a total of six different boards connected with 7N OCC pure copper conductors, the same used to produce the high-quality Airtech cables.

Special attention has been given to the RR volume control, as this solution allows the user to achieve the reliability and balance of a digital control and to manage four different selectable volume scales. At the same time, signal processing is completely analog thanks to the use of high precision relays and resistors. All the components are meticulously selected and of the highest quality: resistors to military standards, audiograde capacitors and further oversized components specifically chosen to guarantee maximum level performances and reliability.
