Current can only flow into the capacitors when the voltage on the outside is less, so when current is needed, the voltage across the capacitors will be lower than the 50\/60 Hz cycle. Although defined as a linear power supply, there are a lot of current transients flowing in these power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe Aavik 880 amplifier has four 500W power factor corrected resonant mode power supplies. The 500w power supplies combined with the extremely large power banks mean that the amplifier can deliver peak currents in excess of 80A, so it is not the power supply in the Aavik 880 amplifier that will limit how much you can feed into your speakers in transient and they will never switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 880 cabinet design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eA study of materials and shapes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe exterior design of the Aavik 880 amplifier is the result of Flemming Erik Rasmussen’s artistic and aesthetic work. However, his design philosophy is and always has been that design must serve purpose. The cabinet of the Aavik 880 amplifier was designed primarily with the goal of maintaining the best audio characteristics of the electrical design, i.e. the lowest inductance, reducing hysteresis to an absolute minimum, and ensuring excellent resonance control. In addition, since this was a Class A amplifier that was to be developed, there were some predefined premises for the design. With these goals in mind, the design process became a study of shapes and materials that opened up a unique and constructive synergy between Flemming Erik Rasmussen and Michael Børresen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eIn addition, the amplifier features cooling elements on the sides and top that clearly bear Flemming’s design signature. The outer part of the volume button is covered with titanium, and the control panel is designed as a large LCD touchscreen display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe choice of materials, as well as the interior and exterior design, are the result of Fleming and Michael’s collaboration and are characterized by functionality, but also by a very aesthetic and elegant design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottom plate sandwich construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe bottom plate is designed as a sandwich construction with a copper plate, a heavy compact laminate plate, and a titanium layer on the bottom. This unique sandwich construction ensures minimum resonance and supports a natural and organic sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe solid copper enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eBased on Flemming Erik Rasmussen’s fascination with copper for its visual appearance and feel, and Michael Børresen’s insight into the sonic properties of copper, this material was chosen as a fundamental component of the design. As a result, the Aavik 880 amplifiers feature a solid copper enclosure. This results in a further reduction in hysteresis, lower output impedance, lower inductance, a positive effect on the damping factor, and cooler operation of the amplifier. All these components ensure that the music is reproduced with more energy and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Tesla coil principle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe principle is to have two coils that are wounded in each direction \/ a coil and a counter coil. In Ansuz words: “a double inverted coil” – the two coils are both carrying voltage – and when the Tesla coil encounters a voltage spike a counter spike is activated in order to eliminate the noise. As Noise spikes are pure voltage and carries virtually no charge, the cancelation is quite good, but not 100%. By adding more P-TC coils in parallel the performance increases.

This seperation has reduces the noise floor, to an even lower level, refine the signal, and increase the power resources. Furthermore, this division has created space for new technologies, which have further contributed to a even larger sound stage with an extremely quite background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAavik 200W pure class A amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eAavik have designed a circuitry that constantly keeps the bias spread 0,63 V above the required current, no matter where it is in the cycle. So, no matter how much current the power amp requires to perform, it always stays in Class A up to an impressive 2×200 W into 8 ohms, while at the same time not consuming unnecessary power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThis significant reduction in the power requirements of the amplifier allowed Aavik to design the capacitors as smaller units and place them locally, so that essentially each of the eight pairs of output transistors has its own capacitor bank right next to it. This means that the current does not have to flow through long wire harnesses and long circuit boards. The current is always directly at the output transistor, which means a shorter signal path and therefore less noise. In addition, this innovative Aavik design also means that the 880 amplifiers do not get as hot as conventional Class A amplifiers, resulting in higher efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResonant mode power supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Aavik series is designed to ensure massive power resources with ultra-low noise. Unlike the square waves used by conventional switch mode power supplies, this Aavik series boast a resonant mode design which is principally driven by sine waves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen more power is needed, the operating frequency increases, which, in turn, has the advantage that the power density also increases, thus allowing higher peak power when required by the music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe noise floor in the raw power supply is extremely low but could be even further lowered by the ultra-low noise regulators supplying the different parts of the circuit. The noise of these regulators is measured in a few microvolts respectively nanovolts, which is significantly lower than the noise level of conventional regulators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe principle of a traditional class A power supply is to create switching noise. This happens when the large capacitors have to absorb current from the transformer. Current can only flow into the capacitors when the voltage on the outside is less, so when current is needed, the voltage across the capacitors will be lower than the 50\/60 Hz cycle. Although defined as a linear power supply, there are a lot of current transients flowing in these power supplies.\u003cbr\u003eThe Aavik 880 amplifier has four 500W power factor corrected resonant mode power supplies. The 500w power supplies combined with the extremely large power banks mean that the amplifier can deliver peak currents in excess of 80A, so it is not the power supply in the Aavik 880 amplifier that will limit how much you can feed into your speakers in transient and they will never switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 880 cabinet design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eA study of materials and shapes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe exterior design of the Aavik 880 amplifier is the result of Flemming Erik Rasmussen’s artistic and aesthetic work. However, his design philosophy is and always has been that design must serve purpose. The cabinet of the Aavik 880 amplifier was designed primarily with the goal of maintaining the best audio characteristics of the electrical design, i.e. the lowest inductance, reducing hysteresis to an absolute minimum, and ensuring excellent resonance control. In addition, since this was a Class A amplifier that was to be developed, there were some predefined premises for the design. With these goals in mind, the design process became a study of shapes and materials that opened up a unique and constructive synergy between Flemming Erik Rasmussen and Michael Børresen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eIn addition, the amplifier features cooling elements on the sides and top that clearly bear Flemming’s design signature.

As a result, the Aavik 880 amplifiers feature a solid copper enclosure. This results in a further reduction in hysteresis, lower output impedance, lower inductance, a positive effect on the damping factor, and cooler operation of the amplifier. All these components ensure that the music is reproduced with more energy and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Tesla coil principle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe principle is to have two coils that are wounded in each direction \/ a coil and a counter coil.

As Noise spikes are pure voltage and carries virtually no charge, the cancelation is quite good, but not 100%. By adding more P-TC coils in parallel the performance increases.

So, no matter how much current the power amp requires to perform, it always stays in Class A up to an impressive 2×200 W into 8 ohms, while at the same time not consuming unnecessary power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThis significant reduction in the power requirements of the amplifier allowed Aavik to design the capacitors as smaller units and place them locally, so that essentially each of the eight pairs of output transistors has its own capacitor bank right next to it. This means that the current does not have to flow through long wire harnesses and long circuit boards. The current is always directly at the output transistor, which means a shorter signal path and therefore less noise. In addition, this innovative Aavik design also means that the 880 amplifiers do not get as hot as conventional Class A amplifiers, resulting in higher efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResonant mode power supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Aavik series is designed to ensure massive power resources with ultra-low noise. Unlike the square waves used by conventional switch mode power supplies, this Aavik series boast a resonant mode design which is principally driven by sine waves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen more power is needed, the operating frequency increases, which, in turn, has the advantage that the power density also increases, thus allowing higher peak power when required by the music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe noise floor in the raw power supply is extremely low but could be even further lowered by the ultra-low noise regulators supplying the different parts of the circuit. The noise of these regulators is measured in a few microvolts respectively nanovolts, which is significantly lower than the noise level of conventional regulators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe principle of a traditional class A power supply is to create switching noise. This happens when the large capacitors have to absorb current from the transformer. Current can only flow into the capacitors when the voltage on the outside is less, so when current is needed, the voltage across the capacitors will be lower than the 50\/60 Hz cycle. Although defined as a linear power supply, there are a lot of current transients flowing in these power supplies.\u003cbr\u003eThe Aavik 880 amplifier has four 500W power factor corrected resonant mode power supplies. The 500w power supplies combined with the extremely large power banks mean that the amplifier can deliver peak currents in excess of 80A, so it is not the power supply in the Aavik 880 amplifier that will limit how much you can feed into your speakers in transient and they will never switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAffects the sonic experience\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eThe Aavik 880 amplifier features a unique inverted amplifier topology with virtual ground for maximum stability.

However, his design philosophy is and always has been that design must serve purpose. The cabinet of the Aavik 880 amplifier was designed primarily with the goal of maintaining the best audio characteristics of the electrical design, i.e. the lowest inductance, reducing hysteresis to an absolute minimum, and ensuring excellent resonance control. In addition, since this was a Class A amplifier that was to be developed, there were some predefined premises for the design. With these goals in mind, the design process became a study of shapes and materials that opened up a unique and constructive synergy between Flemming Erik Rasmussen and Michael Børresen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eIn addition, the amplifier features cooling elements on the sides and top that clearly bear Flemming’s design signature.

As a result, the Aavik 880 amplifiers feature a solid copper enclosure. This results in a further reduction in hysteresis, lower output impedance, lower inductance, a positive effect on the damping factor, and cooler operation of the amplifier.

This is essential to avoid a harsh and compressed sound. The Aavik active crossover has been designed to either very precisely control a subwoofer or with the integrated low pass and high pass filter to control a 2.1 home theater system. Alternatively, Aavik’s analog crossover can function as analog room correction control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent and absolutely precise subwoofer control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the crossover is analog, there is no latency. The timing of the signal transfer to both the speakers and the subwoofer is absolutely precise. This results in an utmost pristine and authentic sound. Other conventional crossovers, such as DSP transport the signal through a digital circuit. This results in a latency of 15-20 msec. The effect of a failing precision in the timing of the signal transfer to the speakers, respectively the subwoofer, impairs an authentic audio reproduction, creates a compressed sound and adds a harsh tone to the music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl your home theater and your 2.1 audio setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy using the low pass and high pass filter, the sound performance of your individual speakers can be optimized. When directing the low frequencies to the subwoofer, more energy to the main speakers will be released.

The one specific resonance that creates an unpleasant and disturbing sound is a pressure resonance resulting from the given size of the room – subjectively, it feels like a “boom” emanating from the speakers. To eliminate this room specific resonance, the Aavik amplifiers can adapt their audio performance and make allowances for any given room size. Both the low pass and high pass filter allow the listener to set the exact frequency progress around those low frequencies which cause this disturbing ‘Boom’ effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Tesla coil principle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe principle is to have two coils that are wounded in each direction \/ a coil and a counter coil.

As Noise spikes are pure voltage and carries virtually no charge, the cancelation is quite good, but not 100%. By adding more P-TC coils in parallel the performance increases.

However, his design philosophy is and always has been that design must serve purpose. The cabinet of the Aavik 880 amplifier was designed primarily with the goal of maintaining the best audio characteristics of the electrical design, i.e. the lowest inductance, reducing hysteresis to an absolute minimum, and ensuring excellent resonance control. In addition, since this was a Class A amplifier that was to be developed, there were some predefined premises for the design. With these goals in mind, the design process became a study of shapes and materials that opened up a unique and constructive synergy between Flemming Erik Rasmussen and Michael Børresen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eIn addition, the amplifier features cooling elements on the sides and top that clearly bear Flemming’s design signature.

This results in a further reduction in hysteresis, lower output impedance, lower inductance, a positive effect on the damping factor, and cooler operation of the amplifier.

Unlike the square waves used by conventional switch mode power supplies, this Aavik series boast a resonant mode design which is principally driven by sine waves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen more power is needed, the operating frequency increases, which, in turn, has the advantage that the power density also increases, thus allowing higher peak power when required by the music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe noise floor in the raw power supply is extremely low but could be even further lowered by the ultra-low noise regulators supplying the different parts of the circuit. The noise of these regulators is measured in a few microvolts respectively nanovolts, which is significantly lower than the noise level of conventional regulators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe principle of a traditional class A power supply is to create switching noise. This happens when the large capacitors have to absorb current from the transformer. Current can only flow into the capacitors when the voltage on the outside is less, so when current is needed, the voltage across the capacitors will be lower than the 50\/60 Hz cycle. Although defined as a linear power supply, there are a lot of current transients flowing in these power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe Aavik 880 amplifier has four 500W power factor corrected resonant mode power supplies. The 500w power supplies combined with the extremely large power banks mean that the amplifier can deliver peak currents in excess of 80A, so it is not the power supply in the Aavik 880 amplifier that will limit how much you can feed into your speakers in transient and they will never switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 880 cabinet design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eA study of materials and shapes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe exterior design of the Aavik 880 amplifier is the result of Flemming Erik Rasmussen’s artistic and aesthetic work. However, his design philosophy is and always has been that design must serve purpose. The cabinet of the Aavik 880 amplifier was designed primarily with the goal of maintaining the best audio characteristics of the electrical design, i.e. the lowest inductance, reducing hysteresis to an absolute minimum, and ensuring excellent resonance control. In addition, since this was a Class A amplifier that was to be developed, there were some predefined premises for the design. With these goals in mind, the design process became a study of shapes and materials that opened up a unique and constructive synergy between Flemming Erik Rasmussen and Michael Børresen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eIn addition, the amplifier features cooling elements on the sides and top that clearly bear Flemming’s design signature. The control panel is designed as a large LCD touchscreen display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe choice of materials, as well as the interior and exterior design, are the result of Fleming and Michael’s collaboration and are characterized by functionality, but also by a very aesthetic and elegant design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe solid copper enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eBased on Flemming Erik Rasmussen’s fascination with copper for its visual appearance and feel, and Michael Børresen’s insight into the sonic properties of copper, this material was chosen as a fundamental component of the design. As a result, the Aavik 880 amplifiers feature a solid copper enclosure. This results in a further reduction in hysteresis, lower output impedance, lower inductance, a positive effect on the damping factor, and cooler operation of the amplifier. All these components ensure that the music is reproduced with more energy and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDS Audio – The optical machine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eThe R-880 supports DS Audio optical cartridges. The optical cartridge input in Aavik R-880 is built upon a dedicated direct-coupled floating input stage that allows operation without the conventional DC-blocking cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eAavik R-880’s input stage for optical cartridges embeds an adjustable high-pass filter to counter unwanted modulation issues.

In Ansuz words: “a double inverted coil” – the two coils are both carrying voltage – and when the Tesla coil encounters a voltage spike a counter spike is activated in order to eliminate the noise. As Noise spikes are pure voltage and carries virtually no charge, the cancelation is quite good, but not 100%. By adding more P-TC coils in parallel the performance increases. By implementing this the perceived blackness in the music improves significantly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnsuz Tesla coils are available in various types as they complement each other in terms of strengths \/weaknesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"is-style-size-52\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog dither technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3rd generation\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-style-normal\"\u003eA 3rd generation of the Ansuz analog dither technology has been developed.
