The Reference A-300 is an evolution of previous models. Throughout the design process each and every part has been reviewed, evaluated and refined. Every subsection of the electronics boasts changes to components, specification, layout and interconnection resulting in a truly sophisticated amplifier.
The A-300 uses high quality, low-noise, audio grade capacitors, low-noise power components and custom high capacity power supply capacitors. Couple this with a brand new external styling that still pays homage to Plinius’ signature aesthetic and you have a true force of nature.
If you love the feeling of being immersed in music The Reference A-300 promises absolute satisfaction. Power and depth are married together with pureness and clarity.
The Reference A-300 is the pinnacle of the Plinius Range. It’s designed to take advantage of every aspect of the Reference M-10 preamplifier’s sophisticated circuitry and drive the finest high-end speakers with finesse.
Class A/Class AB operation
In Class A distortion is minimised for ultimate sonic performance. In
Class AB, performance is still exceptional but power consumption and
heat output are reduced.
Amplifier Configuration Selector (ACS) switch
The rear panel ACS switch allows for the amplifier to be configured for
Stereo RCA, Bridged Mono RCA, Stereo XLR or Bridged Mono XLR modes. In
Bridged Mono mode, the amplifier operates in true balanced configuration
from input to output.
Ecologic Control
The amplifier can automatically switch from Class A to Class AB when
unused after a listening session. This user adjustable feature is set to
30 minutes during manufacture and can also be switched off entirely.
Remote Trigger Input
When connected to a preamplifier trigger output, the amplifier will
switch out of Mute and into Class A Mode ready for use when the
preamplifier is taken out of standby.
Ground Lift Switch
This allows for the signal ground to be isolated from the main chassis
earth. This can assist in resolving unwanted ground loops or hum due to
duplicate ground paths in some systems.
WBT and Neutrik Connectors
High quality WBT RCA and Neutrik XLR input connectors are fitted along
with WBT output speaker terminals to ensure a low distortion interface
between your cables and the amplifier.
Auricap Capacitors
Audience AV supply the Auricap XO capacitors used in key areas of the
circuit. The Auricap was chosen for its superior clarity and dynamic
ability.
Siltech Wiring
Siltech premium 'G7'silver/gold wire provides a perfect connection
between components to give clear, fast and detailed presentation of the
music signal.
Aluminium Construction
The aluminium construction provides a rigid non-magnetic housing to
eliminate unwanted magnetic fields that can interfere with the sensitive
audio signals.
