Replacing the legendary AW 600 NEMO, the AW 800 M incorporates a series of changes and improvements aimed at preserving the unmistakable sonic personality of Electrocompaniet 's creations in music reproduction systems without compromise.
Thus, the AW 800 M encompasses the circuit topology of continuous coupling and wide bandwidth in open loop, to which improvements have been added in the form of amplification stages with high “slew rate” and an extremely generous passband.
On the other hand, a newly developed output stage has been incorporated that allows the input and attack stage to be effectively shielded from the load, thus making the output power extremely robust and not affected by variations in said load.
Furthermore, this allows the workload of the refined feedback system used to be significantly simplified, also drastically reducing distortion. Another unique attribute of Electrocompaniet 's new reference power stage is its ability to switch between mono, stereo and bi-amped operating modes so that the user can either upgrade their equipment or modify its configuration while preserving their initial investment. .
The AW 800 M is completed with a switchable automatic on/off system, dimmable lighting and a practical input/output for trigger signal.
