The key to the 4040A integrated amplifier’s impressive performance is in its high-frequency power supply, optimised for audio electronics, enabling the latent quality of its amplifier to be realised. The 4040A’s performance is unaffected by mains quality or voltage stability. Unlike most conventional amplifiers, its 250-Watt power supply is voltage stabilised, enabling it to double its power output each time the load impedance is halved, regardless of the mains voltage.

Modern, multi-driver loudspeakers using complex cross-over circuitry present a heavy demand on any amplifier. The 4040A employs cutting-edge MERUS TM technology to enable it to drive even the most difficult loads to realistic listening levels with high fidelity.

The “Feature Rich” 4040 A contains three analogue signal inputs, including two pairs of unbalanced RCA sockets and one pair of fully balanced XLR sockets. The electronic volume control enables precise 1dB adjustment over a 70dB range. Left/right balance, tone controls and EQ settings, further enhance its flexibility.

A dedicated headphone amplifier will drive a wide range of headphones via a front panel-mounted jack socket.

Vinyl music lovers can install an optional plug-in Sequel mk4 Phono Pre-amp in place of Aux 2 to match a wide range of Moving Magnet and high-output Moving Coil cartridges.

The 4040 A’s intuitive user interface and the sophisticated menu system is easily navigated either by remote control or rotary control knobs.

The key to the 4040A integrated amplifier’s impressive performance is in its high-frequency power supply, optimised for audio electronics, enabling the latent quality of its amplifier to be realised. The 4040A’s performance is unaffected by mains quality or voltage stability. Unlike most conventional amplifiers, its 250-Watt power supply is voltage stabilised, enabling it to double its power output each time the load impedance is halved, regardless of the mains voltage.

The 4040 A leverages the power of a premier grade ES9023 Sabre DAC to convert digital signals into analogue.
