Soulnote A-1 ver.2 Integrated Amplifier
The Soulnote A-1 Ver.2 refines the original A-1 with updated circuitry and mechanical design. Retaining Soulnote’s discrete, non-negative-feedback architecture and relay-controlled resistor volume, the revised version focuses on greater stability, current delivery, and musical flow.

Full discrete non-NFB circuits
Discrete fully non-NFB circuitry is employed. A remarkably simple configuration is adopted, featuring merely a selector and volume control attached to the power amplifier. This is essential, as with SOULNOTE’s flagship integrated amplifier A-3, to preserve the freshness of the musical signal. Ultra-high-purity resistors are employed in the circuitry eliminating capacitive resonance. This ensures impedance remains constant up to high frequencies. Without limiting the bandwidth, it achieves both high-fidelity sound quality without loss of freshness and exceptional stability.
Single push-pull output stage
The single push-pull output stage employs a four-stage Darlington configuration utilizing TO-3P high-power, low-Cob transistors. This eliminates sound blurring whilst boasting formidable drive capability.

High-speed discrete non-NFB power supply
A non-impregnated toroidal power transformer is adopted. By deliberately limiting the secondary output voltage (the amplifier's maximum output), current delivery capability has been enhanced. It delivers impressive drive capability with a responsive drive, even for low-impedance modern high-end loudspeakers.
Relay-switched balanced attenuator
Volume adjustment employs a relay attenuator system in a balanced configuration. Transparency is enhanced, allowing the sound image to emerge with three-dimensional clarity. Quality at low volumes is improved, without concern for gang error. Two XLR balanced inputs are provided.
Direct mechanical grounding construction
A spike foot connects directly under the center of gravity of the transformer to straight-release harmful vibrations without interfering with the unit housing itself.
This achieves both supremely lively musical expression and high S/N.
Symmetrical chassis with resonance control
The symmetrical construction of the chassis increases rigidity balance while controlling the sharpness of resonance (Q factor). This eliminates the usual obstruction of sound containment in highly rigid systems and creates the high-resolution, lively SOULNOTE sound.

As with what we learned developing the 211 amplifiers, each element in a circuit is like each lens in a microscope, and has to be perfectly chosen and formed to correctly work with the proceeding and following lenses (or stages in the amplifier circuit).
If the lenses in a microscope are not correctly chosen and adjusted, the image becomes blurred, and detail and information is lost. The same is true for an amplifier circuit; if each stage is not absolutely correctly chosen and matched to work optimally with the rest of the amplifier, the result will be blurred, unfocused, uneven sound lacking in information.

At Pass Labs we build Fet amplifiers with excessive output stages, huge heat sinks and massive power supplies. We use the highest quality components in simple linear topologies, assembled and tested with care and subtlety. They measure well, sound great, and are reliable. Twenty plus years of ongoing innovation have kept the X and XA amplifiers at the forefront of high-end audio.
This integrated amplifier sets a new benchmark in significantly narrowing any perceived performance gap between separate components and integrated amplifiers. Advanced technologies and real-world testing combine to create the INT-60 which presents 60 glorious watts per channel into 8 ohms, and doesn't leave class A until 30 watts thanks to its high-bias operation. This larger class A operating envelope brings lower distortion and greater loudspeaker control, delivering higher quality musical fidelity for your enjoyment.
Like the INT-60, the INT-250 utilizes the synergies developed in the .8 series power amplifiers. Unlike the INT-60, however, it brings 250 watts per channel of listening pleasure. With higher power MOSFETs and more of them, the INT-250 drives large, demanding and relatively inefficient loudspeakers at higher volumes without batting an eyelash, singing beautifully. Just incredible music from one component.
The IA-4 is our flagship and most popular integrated amplifier. Weighing a substantial 20 kilos the IA-4 has a purposeful look and impressive build quality. Plenty of input and output facilities are on offer including a high quality phono stage. The class A power output circuit has been upgraded from the A21 series with a larger power supply and improved soothing and output capacitors. Gold plated circuit boards, full relay switching and a precision input selector switch offer further detailing. The pre-amplifier section of the IA-4 is a bespoke design, with surprising clarity and detail. The most noticeable feature is the ability to create a large performance with depth and height on any type of music.
The Masterclass ANV-50 is a new integrated amplifier released to celebrate Sugden Audio’s fiftieth anniversary.
It is a unique design with many innovative features and specially developed audio circuits.
In 1967 Sugden released the world’s first solid state pure class A amplifier, the A21. The ANV-50 promises to revisit this golden age of British audio engineering, with a design focused on the demands and preferences of today’s audio enthusiast and music lover.
The Sugden pure class A design provides affordable high-end performance from a beautifully engineered single box integrated amplifier. Compact in size with a simple but stylish design, the A21 is possibly the only amplifier you will ever need. With many of the original A21’s still in daily use after fifty years, it could also last a life time. Providing a large soundstage and depth to all types of music, the A21 is an amplifier you can listen to for hours without fatigue. The single ended voltage rail circuit provides impressive dynamics and incredible bass.
The A21 Signature integrated amplifier is available with or without a MM/MC phono input. Without a phono input it is designated the A21L (line input only). A21aL models can be fitted with a phono input at a later date.

For the Zero range, we decided to design an integrated amplifier rather than a pre / power combination. The result is the IZero, and it has exceeded all of our expectations. Offering a level of performance that was previously considered unthinkable for an amplifier of such diminutive size and price, the IZero really is something very special, producing a bold, rich, smooth and delicate performance, whilst offering a level of fine detail finesse that is quite incredible.Valve compliment consists of four ECL82 triode / pentodes operating in Class a/b, producing 8 Watts per channel. Internally it features a level of component quality that is unmatched at this price point, including our own Audio Note (UK) custom designed and manufactured output transformers.
