A true dual-mono stereo power amplifier with fully regulated power supply and the entry into the world of TIDAL power amplification.
The idea behind the construction of the TIDAL Impulse was to continue the way the formerly model TIDAL Impact started: to settle, once and for good, the discussion over tube versus solid state amplifiers.
The Impulse results from the uncompromising implementation of our most basic requirement: pure amplification of the musical signal without adding any sonic colour or concealing even the smallest of details.
And so, we are at a loss trying to depict the amplifiers sound in usual terms, it is neutral vice versa natural, such as a glass of pure water.
The Impulse is one of a very small and select group of amplifiers that do not feature any of the sonic attributes that can commonly be identified with either tube amps or solid state gear. A true state of the art stereo power amplifier.
Colors:
Dual mono reference power amplifier
Regulated active power supply with 2 x 800VA non-noise toriod transformers
Linear voltage power supply for ripple-free voltage and current stabilization for the two amplifier modules
350.000 µF stabilisation capacity
In-house made multilayer PCB (printed circuit board) with 105 µm copper per layer
Hand selected transistors
DC-coupled input circuit, without coupling capacitors or relay in the signal path from the input to the output
No relay in the signal way from XLR input to speaker output
Ultralow impedance capacitors directly at the transistors for most shortest connection
TIDAL proprietary APM system (amplifier protection management)
Optional: fully autarcic working active crossover LPX-monomodule for active amping to control the bass section of TIDAL reference speakers
