Design
The v50 Blackline has been designed to provide the best possible sonic performance.
The transformers are high-efficiency toroidal type, offering better heat dissipation and low leakage current resulting in very low distortion levels.
The use of European valves help to produce the warm, rich sound associated with valve amplifiers.
A brushed aluminium, ergonomically designed remote control is provided.
A Vu meter monitors sound intensity levels and the backlit display is fully adjustable by a control knob on the rear of the amplifier.
High quality, gold plated binding posts with thumb nuts are fitted to ensure the connecting cables are held securely, whilst ensuring the signal path from the loudspeakers to the amplifier meets the least possible resistance.
