SCIENTIST SERIES – ULTIMATE MACHINE SCHRÖDINGER

The machine:

Following the design language of Hartmuth Esslinger, Audionet's successful "Scientist Series" now has a new member, the ultra-reference power amp "SCHRÖDINGER". Conceived as the little brother of the very popular HEISENBERG, the newly developed SCHRÖDINGER combines all the design attributes and features of the Scientist Series with the proven genes of the "Audionet sound".

The patented ‘FLOATING PANEL DESIGN’ encorporates the ultimate audiophile qualities.

The science:

Special features SCHRÖDINGER

•  Mono power amplifier for absolute channel separation.

•  Magnetically and capactively optimized circuit and device design without any ferro-magnetic materials.

•  Floating Pane Design for optimal resistance against microphonic effects and temperature stability.

•  The floating panels of the body are resonance-optimized by pads on an aluminum frame.

•  Air Flow Design circuit boards for an optimum of cooling and stable quiescent currents.

•  Galvanic separation of all analog circuits by opto couplers.

•  Audionet ULA technology (Ultra Linear Amplifier) for real-time linearization of distortions.

•  DC coupled with no sound diminishing capacitors or coils, shortest signal paths.

•  Lossless signal transport via massive, gold-plated copper rails to the speaker terminals.

•  Two separate power supplies for device control and detection / monitoring of zero-crossing of mains power.

•  Four power supplies for positive and negative power currents, separate for input & driver stage and power stage.

•  Two encapsulated und decoupled 50 VA toroid transformers for input & driver stage.

•  Two encapsulated and decoupled 1,200 VA toroid transformers for the power stage – ensuring a perfect power supply.

•  Low impedance-optimized power capacitors with a total capacitance of 160,000 μF.

•  Microprocessor controlled protection circuit with separate power supply, detecting high frequency, DC, overload and overheating.
