FORTÉ Features both a streamer and a DAC section, as well as being an integrated amplifier and a headphone amplifier. THE SPIRIT OF AXXESS FORTÉ Axxess Forté is a streaming amplifier series consisting of three levels, Axxess Forté 1, 2 and 3. Axxess Forté excels with its versatility, in terms of its multi-functional properties. It features both a streamer and a DAC section, as well as being an integrated amplifier and a headphone amplifier. By utilizing Audio Group Denmark's well-known development traditions regarding noise reduction and resonance control and the general pioneering approach towards technological innovation, Axxess manifests its commitment to Audio Group Denmark’s values in the manufacturing of Hi-Fi equipment that offer un- matched musical authenticity. Axxess Forté is easy to use and install and can be integrated into any home. Axxess Forté stands out for its versatility in terms of its multifunctional properties. With its agile and intuitive control functions Axxess Forté provides a direct path to authentic and emotional musical moments. AXXESS TO THE TECHNOLOGICAL HALLMARKS OF AUDIO GROUP DENMARK RESONANT MODE POWER SUPPLY LOW NOISE AND MAXIMUM POWER SUPPLY The composition of the music determines the alternating power demands on your amplifier. This places high demands on the amplifier’s ability to deliver power with both precision and speed, without any delays in power supply. Such delays increase the noise levels and create an unnatural musical sound. Axxess Forté is designed with the Aavik-inspired “resonant mode power supply” to increase the operating frequency and allow higher peak power when the music requires it. The noise floor of the power supply remains very low, and is even further reduced by the ultra-low noise controls that power the various parts of the circuit. 1-BIT DAC CIRCUIT PRESERVING THE TRUE SIGNATURE OF THE MUSIC The challenge of a traditional multi-bit circuit in a DAC section is to cope with increased noise contamination and signal delay, which distort the music with an undesirable “digital signature.” Axxess Forté features a 1-bit circuit, developed in-house that preserves the “analog signature”. With fast data processing and insensitivity to noise, the DAC range of the Axxess Forté ensures clarity and precision which enriches the music with serenity. ANSUZ TESLA COIL A CORNERSTONE OF AUDIO GROUP DENMARK The Ansuz Tesla coil technologies are emblematic of Audio Group Denmark products from 2011 onward. Therefore, it is only natural to implement these noise cancellation technologies in the Axxess Forté to obtain Audio Group Denmark’s signature performance and quality standards. The implementation of Ansuz Tesla coil technologies in the Axxess Forté makes it a high-quality amplifier series in terms of technology and performance.

This technology has been designed to ensure stability, reliability, and precision in the amplifier. Dedicated audio unit Axxess Forté features a streamer module inspired by the one used in the Aavik streamers. This module, designed as a dedicated audio unit, contains high quality capacitors and does not use any microcomputers. This makes signal processing extremely powerful and radically reduces unwanted noise. Headphone amplifier section Axxess is designed as a non-switching Class A amplifier to provide excellent linearity, high gain, and low signal distortion.
