Thank you for choosing Peachtree Audio The

forward in class D power amplification It is a stereo power amplifier that utilizes
-
(
GaN FETs Gallium Nitride Field Effect Transistors to amplify the audio signal
with remarkable accuracy and transparency GaN FETs started to gain attention
as audio engineers realized that they were suitable for high frequency high
,
voltage
and high temperature applications
,
-
counterparts GaN FETs switch on
reducing switching distortion ringing by several orders of magnitude This in
,
turn allowed designers to use less or in the case of the
global negative feedback to achieve the desired results An audio amplifier with
,
exceptional accuracy transparency and musicality without the drawbacks of a
!
high feedback design
The
GaN 1
is also a device with a digital input only and does NOT utilize a
.
traditional DAC The PCM Pulse Code Modulation digital audio input signal is
translated internally into PWM Pulse Width Modulation
)
varying widths to direct the GaN FET outputs which are then low pass filtered for
.
the speaker outputs That s it No traditional DAC and an extremely short simple
and pure audio audio path from input to output with gain that retains remarkable
.
transparency
Please note that the
device connected to it MUST provide a volume control that affects the digital audio
output connected to the GaN 1 input Most current products do but many older

products may not Please double check yours before using the

by Peachtree Audio and may not be covered under warranty by the speaker

The
GaN 1

supply to provide an impressive 200 watts per channel both channels driven
into speaker loads ranging from 2 5 to 16 Ohms The
