About the TT1000

The First Watt TT-1000 is a Class A power amplifier that emphasizes simplicity and purity in audio reproduction. It features a minimalist design focusing on essential components to deliver clean and uncolored sound. The amplifier uses custom output transformers designed by First Watt to ensure efficient power transfer and optimal impedance matching. It supports both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, providing flexibility for various audio setups. The TT-1000 includes a soft-start power supply to protect the amplifier and connected speakers from power surges, enhancing component longevity. Its chassis is made of rugged aluminum for durability and effective heat dissipation. Additionally, the amplifier allows user-adjustable bias settings to fine-tune performance according to listener preferences and speaker characteristics, enabling customization of the sound signature. Technical specifications include approximately 10 watts output power at 2% THD into 8 ohms, a frequency response from 4 Hz to 80 kHz (-3 dB), input impedance of 100 kOhm, and a distortion of about 0.6% at 1 watt. The amplifier weighs around 32 lbs and measures 17" W x 15" D x 5" H.
