About the Artera

The Quad Artera Stereo power amplifier embodies Quad's legendary Current Dumping topology, originally introduced in the iconic Quad 405, combining Class A finesse with Class AB efficiency for exceptional musicality, dynamic power, and speaker control. Rated at 140W per channel into 8 ohms (250W into 4 ohms), it drives demanding speakers including electrostatic designs with vice-like grip and low distortion. It offers balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, high-quality speaker binding posts, 12V trigger, and runs cool while maintaining stability under high transients. Engineered for power, musicality, and an incomparable signal-to-noise ratio, it pairs perfectly with Quad's Artera preamps like the Play or Pre.
