ASR Audio Emitter II Exclusive

About the ASR Audio Emitter II Exclusive

The ASR Audio Emitter II Exclusive is a premium two-channel integrated amplifier designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound clarity, precision, and power. It employs Class A/B technology with 20 Toshiba special Audio-MOSFETs per channel, mounted on massive brass bars for low resonance and excellent heat dissipation. The amplifier features ultra-precision relay volume control adjustable in 1dB steps over a 75dB range with less than 0.1dB channel deviation, and a fully remote-controllable interface via a Corian infrared remote. The chassis is made from rigid, resonance-free acrylic glass, which provides a neutral and smooth sound character without electromagnetic interference. The Exclusive version can be optionally equipped with an external battery power supply unit that powers the input stage, significantly reducing signal-to-noise ratio and harmonic distortion, resulting in a highly organic and spatial musical performance. It offers massive power output: 250W per channel into 8 ohms, 500W into 4 ohms, 900W into 2 ohms, and 1400W into 1 ohm at 0.1% distortion, with dynamic power about 1.5 times RMS. The frequency response extends from 0.2Hz to 500kHz (-3dB), ensuring detailed and smooth sound reproduction. The amplifier includes multiple high-level inputs, gold-plated RCA connectors, large binding posts, and extensive protection circuits. The power supply consists of two separate units with high-capacity filtering capacitors and robust transformers, housed in stable steel casings. The total weight is approximately 111 kg. This amplifier is noted for its smooth, open, and detailed sound, stability under extreme conditions, and sophisticated engineering that eliminates the need for a separate preamplifier stage.
