{"product_id":"oct-re320","title":"Octave RE 320 Power Amplifier","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eIn the new RE 320, Octaves SE-technology has been effectively implemented into a most astonishing compact stereo power amplifier - with resounding success!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Octave RE 320 stereo power amplifier marks a significant evolution of this model series. The heart of the amplifier, the actual amplifier stage, is completely revised. Because for the first time the technical details of the Jubilee SE models have been utilized.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether with a specially developed power supply for the SE-concept, as well as highly specialized, wideband transformers, the RE 320 can drive almost any speaker on the planet and always plays -unaffected by the load - at the same extremely high performance level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis SE technology, previously implemented in the new Octave V 80 SE flagship integrated amplifier model, is characterized by significantly enhanced stability and extreme linearity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe concept is based on the modern KT150 power pentodes. The extremely high current of the KT150 allows a maximum output power of about 2 x 130 W with two tubes in push-pull mode.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe frequency range of the RE 320 extends from 5 Hz to 85 kHz. Looking to the impulse power, the 320 can achieve over 200 watts. This type of power delivery guarantees an inimitable sovereignty, with huge reserves while perfectly representing the effortless dynamics that distinguishes Octave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA variety of modern and innovative detail solutions ensures a constant performance level that will last for years. Thus, for example, the noise level is so extremely low - by more than -110 dB, that even with high efficiency loudspeakers no hum or noise is heard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany practical features such as the precise adjustment of the BIAS, the power switch for different tube types, the intelligent ECO mode, the optional connection for the external black box modules and the switchable RCA and XLR inputs make the RE 320 stereo power amplifier a universal playback partner in this component category.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RE 320 enchants with a sound that is stable and reliable at all loads. The ease of musical playback is particularly impressive and thanks to the incredible control the sound always remains composed, honest in its dimensions and conveys even the finest details with an irresistible naturalness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlack Box Connector\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOCTAVE, with the Black Box technology, offers an upgrade path for optimizing the OCTAVE amplifier in respect to the speaker. This flexibility is a unique feature of the OCTAVE brand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dynamic and tonal stability of an amplifier is strongly dependent upon the stability and capacity of the power supply, therefore the Black Box and Super Black Box were developed as external upgrades to the OCTAVE amplifiers power supply storage capacitors by increasing their capacitance by a factor of 4 (Black Box) or 10 (Super Black Box), respectively. This is a tremendous benefit if the speaker is difficult to drive. Loudspeaker efficiency is made less critical, while the amplifier is enabled to handle speakers with extremely low minimum impedances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBIAS Adjustment\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Output stage of the RE 320 operates in Class A\/B, and therefore requires an adjustable BIAS regulation. The highly sophisticated yet extremely simple yet accurate BIAS calibration system is accessed on the front panel of the unit. It utilizes external precision bias trim pots and LED confirmation, allowing the user to readily monitor the output tubes and simply correct their bias individually at the top panel - without the need of a micrometer let alone any special knowledge or tools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe correct BIAS is vital for the constant sound quality of the RE 320. Due to this facility there is no need for a technician to service the RE 320 for changing or tubes or to check their condition. The precision of this user friendly system is within 0.5% accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePower Management and Protection System\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RE 320 is equipped with a multi-stage Soft-Start\/Turn-On protection circuit which extends component as well as tube life considerably by protecting against stress caused by typical high inrush currents during switch-on. The unit starts in a defined sequence, with the Protection System monitoring the RE 320 completely, and activated whenever a malfunction is detected. Once the Protection is activated, the RE 320 is powered down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Power into 4 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Selector High: 2 x 130 W RMS\u003cbr\u003ePower Selector Low: 2 x 75 W RMS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak Power into 4 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Selector High: 200 W one channel\u003cbr\u003e2 x 150 W both channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Selector Low: 140 W one channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInto 8-Ohms Load the Output Power\u003cbr\u003eis reduced by 20%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Bandwith\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 Hz - 85 kHz \/ - 3dB at Full Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Hz - 85 kHz \/ -3dB at 5 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNoise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt; 100 µV 150 Hz - 15 kHz, \u0026gt; - 110 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Sensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0,8 V RCA; 1,6 V XLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220 kOhm RCA; 20 kOhm XLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCMRR of the XLR-Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt; 85dB \/ 1 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimal Load Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e+28dB - RCA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEco Mode Trigger Level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 mV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x RCA, 1 x XLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x Speaker terminal for\u003cbr\u003e4 mmBanana connectors and spades\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeatures\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eECO Mode, Bias Adjustment, Power Management\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt; 20 W in Ecomode, 180 W idle, 550 W at full power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Accessory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Cord, 3 mm Screwdriver for BIAS Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27.6 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (L x D x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e488 x 410 x 210\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer Site\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ca\u003eOctave\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Octave","offers":[{"title":"Aluminium Black","offer_id":52740166418698,"sku":"OCTAVE-5306","price":9900.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aluminium Silver","offer_id":52740166451466,"sku":"OCTAVE-5307","price":9900.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/octave-re-320-power-amplifier-19973-p.png?v=1773934417","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/oct-re320","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
