POWER DRIVE DNA - 125

DNA-125, STEREO: Two channel power amplifier with output power rating of 120 Wafts per channel RMS, both channels driven into 8 ohms at less than 1% THD, 200 into 4 ohms and 300 into 2 ohms. Optional Deluxe parts package, Dimensions: 19"w x 6"h x 12"d
DNA series of amplifiers are distinguished by their unique distributed node amplifier design for which they are named. This concept entails distributing the energy storage of the main power supply over a number of small capacitors. In a DNA amplifier, each output device has a separate power supply capacitor located immediately adjacent to the transistor.

Distributed Node Amplifier Circuit
This distributes the current demands,establishes an individual power reservior for each output transistor, and enables higher transient current flow to each device by minimizing impedance in the circuit path.

"...one of the finest solid-state amplifiers I've ever heard, and one of the best amplifiers period." Sam Tellig,
Stereophile, December 1995
