Cayin PEARL 30i Integrated Amplifier (Special Order)
Separate and Independent Power Supply System
Cayin PEARL 30i, the 30th Anniversary Tube Amplifier, is an integrated amplifier in 2 cabinets with separate amplifier Unit and Power Supply Unit. In the power supply unit, it is combined by 4 pieces of power transformers, which are 2 pieces for the left channel and 2 pieces for the left channel. Each channel has its own high voltage power supply and low voltage power supply.
Power Supply of each channel is combined by 800 watts high voltage power supply and 200e low voltage power supply. Total power reaches 2000 watts to guarantee the dynamic and transient response during music playback.
Amplifier Unit and Power Supply Unit take high rigidity of chassis structure with finest vibration damping treatment. You can put the units side by side or up and down. It can help realise the best S/N Ratio and lower the magnetic interface to the Amplifier Unit.
Customised Power Cables between the Amplifier Unit and power Supply Unit. Left & Right channel take four cables made out of 6N Copper silver plated wire.
TUNG-SOL KT170 Power Tubes
Pearl 30i is designed on basis of Tungsol KT170 Power Tubes. It outputs 230 W power in Ultra-linear Mode or 145W Power in Triode Mode per channel. Designed in Class AB Push-Pull Pearl 30i takes 4 pieces of powerful KT170 tube per channel.
Dynamic Auto Bias
Pearl 30i takes Audo-Bias for the KT170 Power Tubes. With auto bias design if you changed the Power Tubes you do not need to adjust the bias manually. Bias can be adjusted automatically and precisely so that all tubes can be matched which can raise the reliability of the Power Tubes and provide an extended lifetime of the Power Tubes.
Dual Operation Mode: Triode/Ultra-linear
Pearl 30i offers two operation modes: Triode and Ultra-linear. Change the output mode you will get a different sound signature instantly.
Triode Mode
Tendering, Rich in Harmony, and smooth. Ideal for Vocal and Instrumental Music.
Ultralinear Mode
Ultra-linear Mode has power and extension. Clean with energy. Ideal for music has punch and dynamic and at such mode it offers excellent control ability.
Dual Timbres: DYNAMIC | SOFT
Choices of 2 timbres: Dynamic and Soft, which has been realised by adjusting the operation current of the KT170 Power Tubes.
Volume Controller
High-Precision JRC MUSES 72320V electronic volume controller to provide low noise, low distortion and 106-step linear volume control.
With programmed MCU Pearl 30i is designed with a variety of protection circuits and power-on timing so that the amplifier works in the best condition: 60s Time Delay during Switch on, Soft Start Circuit and BMI Function.
- 60 Time Delay during Switch on
- Soft Start Circuit'
- BMI function
All Tube Integrated Amplifier
- CV4004/12AX7 voltage amplifier stage
- 6sN7 driver stage
All tubes used in Pearl 30i are handpicked and matched. All have been strategically arranged in the amplification stages to deliver an unparalleled high-end auditory and visual experience.
Output Transformers
The most important part of any tube amp. The output transfers determine how low the bass will reach and how high the top end goes. Output transformers of PEARL 30s are custom-designed, wound in-house with Z11 Audio-Grade silicon steel sheet with guarantees less loss of signal.
Capacitors & Wires
AudioCapX PPFXS Coupling Capacitors. Silver Plated Signal wires have been used in Pearl 20i, which guarantees the stable Signal transfer to lower the signal attenuation and interference.
Nichicon Audio-grade Filter Capacitors.
Input & Outputs
- 4 pairs of line inputs
