Accuphase A-48S: Pure Class-A Power with Unmatched Precision

ETA: Late October/November 2024

The A-48S takes over from the much-loved A-48, offering a significant boost in power, noise reduction, and overall performance. As a Class-A stereo power amplifier, it delivers remarkably clean and detailed sound with greater headroom and efficiency.

Key Features of the A-48S:

  • Powerful Output: Rated at 50W/8 Ohm, the A-48S doubles its power output with music signals, handling up to 400W at 1 Ohm for unparalleled dynamic range.
  • Improved Noise Performance: The low-noise balanced input amplifier pushes the signal-to-noise ratio to an impressive 118dB, an improvement over the A-48.
  • Super High-Damping Factor: With a damping factor of 1000 (compared to 800 on the A-48), the A-48S offers enhanced control over speaker movements, resulting in tighter bass and superior overall clarity.
  • Robust Design: Featuring a larger filtering capacitor (68,000μF) and advanced protection mechanisms, including DC detection, abnormal temperature sensors, and short-circuit protection, the A-48S ensures reliable performance under any condition.

The A-48S is the perfect choice for audiophiles seeking the purity of Class-A power with the added benefits of Accuphase’s cutting-edge engineering.
