AGD PRODUCTION
AGD TEMPO di GaN
The AGD “TEMPO” Stereo Amplifier is the new addition to our state-of-the-art Hi-End Power Amplifiers family. TEMPO is our first compact Stereo Amplifier utilizing the same unique technology of Gallium Nitride Power-Stage design already in use with all its Hi-End AGD siblings.
The AGD “TEMPO” is rated 200+200W 4Ohm (100W+100W 8Ohm).
To achieve these performances in such compact CNC machined cabinet, we have designed a new GaN- based output power stage with a new mother board that contains the low noise power supply and all the analog buffer stages, small enough to enable these outstanding minimalistic footprint.
As for all AGD amps, the GaN-based power stage module utilized in the AGD TEMPO is fully upgradable to next generation modules using future generation of GaN devices with improved technology so to maintain the full value of the product in time.
AGD THE AUDION Monoblock
“The new AGD “THE AUDION” is one of the most Compact Amplifier Design in Hi-End Audio. “THE AUDION” Monoblock uses the unique GaNTube™ technology with Gallium Nitride MOSFET based Power-Stage, fully enclosed in a Glass Tube. The Gallium Nitride Power MOSFETS, are the unique technology design advantage of AGD Productions, and are the key to the reference level performance of all AGD amplifiers. With the seamless ability to drive any load, “THE AUDION” can deliver an unmatched sonic experience that only SET designs have been able to provide so far.
With 170W of power capability, the fastest voltage slew-rate, and with 20,000µF of super audio grade capacitor reservoir, “THE AUDION” is uniquely capable of sustaining the deepest bass punches while delivering the finest harmonic content of any vocal and musical instruments ensemble. Crafted in a minimalistic ultra-compact solid aluminum case, “THE AUDION” has one single ended and one full balanced XLR inputs, (40kOhm std. and 600ohm upon request), enabling a perfect match with any direct source units (DAC) or preamplifiers in the market.The AGD “Gran Vivace” Monoblock retains the same industrial design pioneered with the “Vivace” model.
AGD “Gran Vivace” Monoblock
The AGD “Gran Vivace” Monoblock retains the same industrial design pioneered with the “Vivace” model.
Its unique form with a blend of avant-garde touch industrial design, along with its leading-edge power electronics, all GaN-based, makes a superb Hi-End Audio amplifier that is capable to deliver an unprecedented powerful and incredible realistic audio reproduction experience.
The “Gran Vivace” incorporates several improvements and features intended to make the daily operation of the amps more user friendly, such as the additional stand-by remote switch (pressure sensitive) located on the front top surface of the chassis, and the convenient additional 12V trigger input for remote on-off/stand-by operation, located on the back side of the amplifier, next to the input selector switch.
AGD Vivace Monoblock
The AGD Vivace Monoblock, is the most advanced Hi-End Power Amplifier in the market. First to use the unique GaNTube™ technology with Gallium Nitride Power-Stage integrated in a Vacuum Tube. The Gallium nitride components are the key to the reference level performance of the AGD Vivace Monoblocks.
To achieve the highest-performance in audio reproduction, switching topologies must achieve nearly ideal switching waveforms, completely oscillation-free, to minimize distortion but most importantly, to preserve the harmonic content present in the original input signal and avoid the superimposition of any additional artifacts that alter the overall spectrum and the spatiality of the music reproduction. The Gallium Nitride power MOSFETS used in the GaNTubeTM power stage, simplifies this challenge through its ability to efficiently switch at much higher slew rates than any silicon based power MOSFET, with almost perfect (book-like) behavior and oscillation free switching.
AGD ANDANTE Preamplifier
The AGD Andante is the perfect companion for the Vivace or The Audion GaNTube Monoblocks. Crafted with the same care and dedication as all AGD products, the Andante is a superior musical preamplifier that combines all the best of the analog and the digital technology available today.
The AGD Andante is a fully balanced analog design with four analog inputs and three analog outputs. The phono stage input is configurable for MC or MM cartridges. All analog circuits are fully shielded and separated from Digital Boards. A set of dedicated ultra-low noise LDO supply stage and high-dynamic low noise professional grade instrumentation amplifiers complete the output buffer stage.
The volume control is completely passive, with high precision resistors in a 256 steps ladder attenuator configuration. The Andante has full HD Streaming Capability (DLNA, UPNP, AirPlay, ROON) via Ethernet port, and has full AptX-Bluetooth compliance functionality.
With a state of the art USB module, based on the latest XMOS chipset that can decode any audio format available today (from MP3 to DSD512), and its professional grade 32bit-384kHz R2R DAC with DSP functions, the AGD “ANDANTE” is a complete audiophile Analog and Digital Reference Preamplifier that delivers unique set of features capable to meet the utmost musical standards of any demanding audiophile.
