Canor AI 1.10 Integrated Tube Amplifier
Canor AI 1.10 is an integrated tube amplifier with an entirely new topology equipped with KT88 high-power tubes.
The aim of the development was to merge the best sound characteristics of previous models together. The amplifier operates in a pure class A with an auto-bias function, and with cathode feedback.
Highlights
- Operates in a pure class A with an auto-bias
- Instant switching between triode and ultra-linear mode
- Possibility to create a monoblock connection of 2 units
Main Features
Precisely Selected Vacuum Tubes
Only precisely selected and paired tubes are used in the Canor products. All the tubes we get from our suppliers are first burned in for 200 hours and that tested, selected and paired for the best performance.
Voltage Stabilisation Circuit
Canor AI 1.10 contains a Voltage Stabilisation Circuit (VSC) circuit, which watches the value of the input voltage in real-time and automatically switches the adequate input on the input transformer (where there are 3 primary windings - 230V, 240V and 250V). That leads to better performance and prolongs the tubes' lifetime.
Volume Attenuator
The attenuator provides a gain control of 1dB, minimum attenuation of 63 dB. The designed solution demonstrates signal passing through 0 up to 6 relay contacts depending upon volume. The deviation between the sync of the left and right channels of the attenuator is lower than 0.05 dB, this outclasses even the best potentiometers.
Channel Separation
The relay attenuator contains two independent blocks for each particular channel which has led to an improvement of already very good channel separation. This kind of volume control is being used in competing amplifiers only in a much higher price range and this solution has proven to be the best also in listening and audible tests we had carried out.
CMT™ Technology
Canor AI1.10 benefits from our premium CMT™ technology (Canor® PCB Milling Technology). It is the way we mill printed circuit boards. CMT™ technology allows us to get the dielectric loss factors (loss tangent) of PCB close to the loss factor of air. Thanks to this technology we managed to get to the parameter level of the so-called “wire-to-wire connections“.
Monoblock Connection
For even better performance and sound, it is possible to connect Canor AI 1.10 as monoblocks using a data cable. One unit becomes the "master" unit and the other the "slave". This is the so-called bridge connection of two amplifiers (a fully symmetrical connection).
