[. . . ] Backed by a 20-year reputation and a Five Year Warranty. AudioControl has been a part of fine audio systems since 1978. We build our products in a state-ofthe-art manufacturing facility in Mountlake Terrace, Washington where we can closely monitor component and build quality. [. . . ] A 5. 25-inch-high, cool-running component that looks as good as it sounds. PantagesTM combines AudioControl's expertise in audiophile electronic design with their reputation for industrialstrength build quality -- a proven track record that's been long-established among distributed sound contractors and designers of high performance home theatres. A dynamic LED display monitors output of all five channels during operation. The display can also be turned off if you find that it competes with on-screen movie action. Input to PantagesTM can be provided by either balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA connections. Oversized, gold plated speaker connection terminals are designed to accommodate even the thickest audiophile cables via banana, pin or fork terminations. A 12-volt trigger input enables remote AC power activation of the amplifier via external processor or controller as part of your overall system. If you desire powerful, reliable and musical amplification at an extremely reasonably price, you'll want to audition PantagesTM, the home theater amp that sounds warm but runs cool. We think that you'll be equally impressed with its precision and with its ability to fully deliver the demanding dynamics of today's digital video sources.

[. . . ] While Class A bi-polar transistors are popular for their sonic purity, they bring with them the inherent high-heat and low efficiency of Class A operation. Conventional MOSFETs are capable of higher current output and better efficiency, but are considered by many to obscure fine audio details (the infamous "MOSFET Mist"). PantagesTM employs a new generation of BiMOS output design that combine the precision of bipolar transistors home cinema system. [. . . ]
