AMP 10
Introduction
AMP 10 is a high-performance
class-D power amplifier that enables true premium sound quality with class-D efficiency. It features an advanced integrated feedback design and proprietary
highspeed gate driver error correction (PurePath™ UltraHD). This technology allows ultra-low distortion across the audio band and superior audio quality.
Technology
The amplifier features a 2 VRMS analog input interface that works seamlessly with high performance preamplifiers. In addition to excellent audio performance, AMP10/20 achieves both high power efficiency and very low power stage idle losses below 2.5W. The design achieves significantly lower idle losses than typical discrete implementations.
The amp has a switch on the front to select between single ended RCA or balanced XLR input. Due to the balanced design of the power stage, the single ended input are converted to a balanced signal at the input of the power amplifier. The power stage is designed with high quality shielded inductores and Automotive capacitors.
The power supply is a CLC design as in most of our power supply’s. The use of a combination of capacitors and chokes ensures and extrime low noise supply. And prevent noise to radiate from the AMP (EMC).
Backpanel input/output
Inputs

- One pair of high quality XLR Neutrik XLR connectors
Outputs
- One pair of high quality WBT speaker connectors
Other connections
- Power Mains/line input IEC C13 type

In use
Power-up the AMP 10/20 using the power switch on the front panel. After a few seconds the AMP will be ready to play. If the currently selected input has an active source connected, the AMP will start playing music. By turning the input selection switch, you can select any one of the inputs. If the Power AMP should be overloaded (short circuit on the speaker terminals – getting to hot) just turn the amplifier of for a few minutes and it should play again.
Connectivity (examples)
This page offers ‘suggested connectivity’. With so many products offerings a number of options, it is important to check the manual of the product you are connecting for the appropriate or optimum output connection and settings required to operate properly.
A perfect match for the power amplifier could be the Newontech PRE 08 shown on the picture.
