Stunning music playback.

The Edge A is designed to bring music details to life. This amp delivers a finely tuned sound whose depth and clarity are reflected in every note. We designed the system by ear, tested every part, and then selected only the very best components. With this solid arrangement, we create a signal that is much cleaner and brings your music to life. The Edge A delivers the perfect classic British sound – nothing added, nothing left out.

Higher level of detail in music.

We pioneered the use of toroidal transformers in amplifiers, which helped improve performance. With Edge, we go one step further and use oppositely balanced dual toroidal transformers. This compensates for electromagnetic interference while achieving outstanding performance and consistent pitch, no matter what the volume.

Effortless performance without distortion

A normal class A amplifier was not efficient enough for the Edge A. Instead, we added bias to a conventional AB amplifier to reduce distortion to an inaudible level. This specific configuration also generates less heat and makes the whole system much more powerful.

High resolution Bluetooth

Pair any Bluetooth device with the Edge A amplifier to stream your music with ease. With aptX HD support, you can play your audio files in up to 24-bit/48 kHz quality and enjoy an incredible listening experience.

Tone control

The Edge A was developed with a special circuit board. Our engineers replaced the conventional capacitors with a DC-coupled topology and also gave the device a solid-state volume control. This results in a particularly clean signal that is balanced at any volume.
