Product Overview & Specifications
The Heed Obelisk integrated amplifier revives a classic audiophile legend, offering a musically engaging sound signature tuned for pure listening enjoyment. Known for its distinct non-directional, non-fatiguing presentation, the modern Obelisk features a robust power section outputting 50 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms (65 Watts into 4 Ohms) alongside a comprehensive suite of analogue connections, including four line-level inputs and a dedicated Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage.
Designed with modular flexibility at its core, the Obelisk can be expanded via optional internal cards to meet evolving system demands. Adding the optional DAC card introduces high-resolution USB, S/PDIF coaxial, twin optical, and Bluetooth inputs, while adding the network streamer module (STR card) transforms the amplifier into a complete digital streaming hub. Fixed line-level outputs, pre-amplifier outputs, and a high-quality front-panel headphone connection complete this versatile chassis.
