Description
The Synthesis Roma 98DC Special Edition Tube Mono Power Amplifier, a part of the highly-acclaimed Roma series, stands as a paragon of audio engineering and design. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this amplifier distinguishes itself through its powerful 40 W output, driven by a pair of KT66 tubes arranged in an ultralinear configuration. This unique setup not only ensures high power but also guarantees outstanding sonic performance, making the Roma 98DC Special Edition a symbol of high-fidelity sound reproduction.
In the world of audio design, the Roma 98DC Special Edition is particularly notable for its capability to effectively drive the most demanding and power-hungry speakers. Its consistent delivery of a pure and clean sound output reflects its design philosophy, which aims to meet the needs of even the most challenging audio scenarios. Such remarkable performance is largely attributed to the amplifier’s handcrafted output transformer. Made entirely in-house, this transformer is key to the amplifier’s functionality, offering an impressively wide frequency response and maintaining very low distortion levels at high outputs.
A standout feature of the Roma 98DC Special Edition is its power meter, marked by a needle that oscillates widely to cover the entire power range of the amplifier. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the device but also provides users with a clear indication of the dynamic capabilities of the amplifier.
The Roma 98DC Special Edition also excels in versatility with its array of connectivity options. It accommodates a variety of audio sources through its multiple input options, including an unbalanced line RCA for a direct, unfiltered connection, a filtered unbalanced line RCA with a 3dB attenuation (and additional attenuation at 20Hz and 20kHz) for a more refined audio input, and a balanced line XLR for connecting professional-grade audio sources.
