AMS100
ANTONY MICHAELSON SIGNATURE
100W Pure Class A Dual Mono Power Amplifier
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity AMS100.
The AMS100 uses the latest in low distortion circuitry in a bridged configuration which delivers 100 watts of pure class A power.
The AMS100 is designed with pure undistorted experience in mind. Overall the listening experience is greatly improved because of
dramatically lower distortion and increased dynamic range.
The AMS100 accepts both XLR balanced and RCA line level inputs. When driven from a balanced pre-amplifier the sound
quality is greatly improved because the balanced cable cancels out noise and interference artefacts, giving up to 12dB increase in
dynamic range.
The Primo Pre-amplifier is an ideal partner as it features a fully valve signal path and true balanced operation throughout
Alternatively, the AMS100 can be used as a conventional power amplifier driven by a high quality preamp.
The AMS100 is a perfect answer to pure musicality in a single beautifully engineered package. Used properly and carefully, it
should give many years of outstanding musical reproduction.
Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush, but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may harm the surface
finish.
If there are further questions about any Musical Fidelity component, please consult the dealer from whom it was purchased, who is
there to help and give advice.
