UPA-700

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your new UPA-700 seven-channel power amplifier.
The UPA-700 delivers seven channels of superb quality audio, reliably and efficiently, in an
elegant and stylish package. The UPA-700 has plenty of power to deliver a truly dynamic
presentation, and the incredibly smooth frequency response and low noise and distortion you
need to clearly discern every nuance in a well recorded piece of music (or a crowded scene
with complex dialog). Inside, it boasts the proven class A/B topology, oversized toroidal power
supply, and effective protection system you would expect from an expensive audiophile system.
Outside you get a heavy steel chassis, full-sized five-way binding posts, gold plated RCA jacks,
and informative front panel status LEDs. The UPA-700's quality construction and conservative
ratings enable it to deliver full power, even with all channels driven, and our advanced
engineering ensures that it will sound incredibly good, even into complex or difficult loads.
We recommend pairing the UPA-700 with one of our Ultra Series surround pre-amp/processors
to create an excellent sounding seven-channel surround system. Another simple and
economical way to dramatically upgrade your listening experience is to substitute the UPA-700
for the power amplifier section in an otherwise excellent surround-sound receiver. You'll be
amazed at how much difference having a real audiophile power amp makes.
Yet another possibility for the adventurous is to use the UPA-700 to power a five-channel
surround system.... and bi-amp the front channels for the absolute ultimate in clarity and
definition. Whichever way you choose to go, you can't lose with the UPA-700. Your ears and
your wallet will thank you.
Happy listening!
