The Kora TA 480 Class AB Stereo Amplifier is engineered for precise audio reproduction. Its high-power output and advanced transformer design ensure that every note is delivered with accurate dynamic range.
The Kora TA 480 features a Class AB amplification topology that operates by combining the best characteristics of Class A and Class B designs. This hybrid approach allows for reduced crossover distortion while maintaining high efficiency, particularly at higher output levels. The amplifier is equipped with dual 500 VA power transformers, which are oversized to ensure ample power delivery with minimal sag during dynamic peaks. Its powerful filtering capacitors, rated at 100,000 µF each, provide stable power supply to the output transistors, thus minimizing the fluctuations in voltage that can introduce unwanted noise. The outputs are rated at 240 W per channel into 8 Ω loads, and 400 W per channel into 4 Ω loads, delivering robust performance across a range of speaker impedances. The inclusion of both line and XLR inputs allows for versatility in signal connectivity, preserving the integrity of the audio signal through balanced transmission.
