TIDAL FERIOS
We have pushed the concept of the Impulse stereo power amplifier to its extreme and developed an all new 1.600 VA power supply with a true power regulation. Thus, the TIDAL Ferios mono amplifier board is certain for all practical means and purposes to be supplied with never failing power reserves and a lavish feed of clean current that will drive every imaginable speaker with ease.
The generous supply of additional power is merely a welcome byproduct, really. The real goal was the absolute relaxation with which the Ferios performs, to the extent where any attempted description of sound attributes becomes meaningless. The Ferios is quite simply benchmark with regard to amplification in this size.

FERIOS SPECIALTIES
At TIDAL specifications and specialties are in the end of the day only single aspects to form a complete result out of it. And such thing could not be brought down to single parts or numbers. This would be like making conclusions of the wine by eating the grape the wine was made from. But afterwards one can find some details to give at least some small background informations.
Hearing is believing.
SPECIFICATIONS
true mono reference power amplifier with linear power supply
- pure silver hollow conductor EMI transformers
