    Stabilized Power & Refined Voicing – Features a carefully regulated power supply, optimized output transformers, and vibration-controlled chassis design to maintain low noise, stable tube operation, and consistently musical performance.

    Dimensions – Approx. 430 mm (W) × 160 mm (H) × 350 mm (D), designed for robust stability and ideal placement on reference-grade equipment racks.

    Weight – Roughly 20 kg, with substantial transformers and a rigid chassis that enhance resonance control and support the amplifier’s authoritative sound.

  • Octave RE 320 and Super Black Box PS

    Octave RE 320 and Super Black Box PS – This powerful Class A/AB tube power amplifier system delivers exceptional dynamic range, stability, and tonal purity, with the Super Black Box providing massive energy reserves for demanding loudspeakers.

    High-Current Tube Output Stage – The RE 320 uses optimized KT150/KT120 tubes with intelligent bias control, producing remarkable drive, low distortion, and enhanced linearity for systems requiring both finesse and authoritative power.

    Super Black Box Power Expansion – Adding the Super Black Box dramatically improves current delivery, bass solidity, and transient response by multiplying capacitor storage capacity, resulting in cleaner microdynamics and deeper control.

    Precision German Engineering – Octave’s advanced power management, soft-start circuitry, and protective systems ensure long tube life, stable operation, and a highly refined presentation across complex musical passages.

    Dimensions – RE 320 approx. 451 mm (W) × 210 mm (H) × 460 mm (D). Super Black Box approx. 220 mm (W) × 180 mm (H) × 395 mm (D). Both units built for reference-grade rack placement.

    Weight – RE 320 approx. 28 kg; Super Black Box approx. 20 kg. Octave RE 320 and Super Black Box PS Heavy chassis design enhances vibration control, power stability, and overall sonic refinement.
