RE-DESIGNED
POWER AMPLIFICATION
The AW 300 M boasts Electrocompaniet's direct-coupled high open-loop bandwidth topology, now enhanced with high slew-rate and extended bandwidth amplifier stages. A novel output stage has been engineered to isolate input and driver stages from the load, rendering the output exceptionally rigid and impervious to connected loads. This innovation not only simplifies the feedback system but also ensures exceptionally low distortion.
POWER SUPPLY
HEAVILY UPDATED
The power supply has undergone substantial enhancements, featuring a generous 110,000 uF supply filtering. Mains power input is meticulously filtered for both DC and RF noise. With an 800VA toroidal transformer and an upgraded wire gauge transformer, magnetic and electrostatic shielding effectively minimizes interference.
The internal ground reference has been significantly over-dimensioned to eliminate rectifying and output currents, yielding an immaculate, noise-free output signal at any power level. This translates into a stable soundstage with an unparalleled background silence.
IMPROVEDCONSTRUCTION & DESIGN
The AW 300 M showcases design improvements, including a new front plate with a 3D logo and a redesigned power button. The chassis has undergone a ground-up reengineering, featuring a modular design construction. Two sleek black brushed aluminum rods not only enhance chassis rigidity but also introduce an aesthetic touch. All of this is encased in a luxurious matte finish, upholding Electrocompaniet's timeless and distinctive look.
Experience the future of power amplification with the Electrocompaniet AW 300 M.
