Introducing Aethos an incredible integrated amplifier from our good friends at Rega. How does the Aethos make such amazing sound? It employs 4 160 W 16 Amp output transistors per channel, this delivers 156 W per channel into 6 Ω. As well it has a dual mono design using a custom wound toroidal transformer and regulated supplies for the sensitive amplification and driver stages. Features & specifications: Power outputs at rated 230/115 V supply voltage: 125 W RMS both channels driven into the rated load of 8 Ω 156 W RMS both channels driven into 6 Ω Note:Continued high level use into 6 Ω may cause the case to exceed 40 °C above the ambient temperature and activate the thermal shutdown. Headphone output: No load 12.5 V 32 Ω 2.7 V 54 Ω 4 V 300 Ω 9 V Source impedance 109 Ω Record output: Record output level (with rated input levels) 219 mV Record output impedance 560 Ω Pre-amp output: Pre-amp output level (with rated input levels) 840 mV Pre-amp output impedance 100 Ω Input sensitivities for rated output level: Input 1-5 and record input sensitivity 224 mV @ 17 kΩ Maximum input level 11.5 V (record output amplifier overload point) Direct input sensitivity 840 mV @ 50 kΩ Power amplifier gain 31.6 dB Frequency response @ 100 W into 8 Ω: Line input 1-5 and record 10 Hz (-0.8 dB point) to 30 kHz (-0.5 dB point) Direct input 10 Hz (-0.8 dB point) to 50 kHz (-0.5 dB point) THD+Noise @ 100 W into 8 Ω: Direct input (Power amplifier only) Typically 0.007% @ 1kHz (measurement bandwidth 22 Hz to 30 kHz) Dimensions: 3.14" H x 17" W x 12.6" D Warranty: 3 years parts & labour Finishes: Black Hi-Fi Choice December 2019 Stereo + Aethos Product of the year 2019 (Norwegian) The Ear.net Aethos Review Dec 2019
