Accustic Arts POWER II
The ACCUSTIC ARTS® POWER II sets a new benchmark for reference-level integrated amplifiers, redefining what is possible in high-end audio performance. Designed and hand-built in Lauffen, Germany, this masterpiece delivers a sound that is gloriously rich, deep, and organic — seamlessly balanced with dynamic drive, energy, and a breathtakingly holographic soundstage.
ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE
At its heart, the POWER II employs 12 hand-selected bipolar output transistors of the highest grade, ensuring precise control and remarkable musical authority. Power is supplied by a fully encapsulated 550 VA toroidal transformer, built to exacting standards and featuring separate windings for the preamp and power amplifier sections. This design guarantees extraordinary output reserves and a stable foundation for all musical passages — from delicate detail to explosive dynamics.
The amplifier features over 80,000 µF of power supply capacitance, providing exceptional current delivery and ultra-smooth signal flow. With its high damping factor, the POWER II maintains firm control of the loudspeakers, ensuring tight, articulate bass and outstanding transparency across the frequency range.
PURE PERFORMANCE & PROTECTION
Accustic Arts’ intelligent protection circuitry safeguards the amplifier against clipping, high-frequency oscillation, excessive temperature, and DC offset, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind. Generously dimensioned heat sinks maintain optimal operating temperature, even during demanding sessions.
A switchable premium headphone amplifier is integrated for private listening, while individual input level adjustments allow seamless system matching.
CONNECTIVITY & CONTROL
2 × balanced XLR inputs
3 × unbalanced RCA inputs (configurable as high-level or surround-bypass)
1 × unbalanced output (configurable as high-level or surround-bypass)
1 × unbalanced pre-out (configurable as record or preamp output)
Gold-plated speaker terminals for superior conductivity
Volume is managed by a microprocessor-controlled precision attenuator, ensuring perfect channel tracking.
DESIGN & CRAFTSMANSHIP
Encased in a solid metal chassis for optimal shielding, the POWER II exudes German craftsmanship at its finest. The brushed aluminium front panel is paired with chromed brass knobs and push buttons, reflecting both luxury and durability.
Supplied with the elegant ACCUSTIC ARTS® RC II remote control, this amplifier completes any reference-grade system with authority and style.
