Compact and powerful: the amplifier with outstanding performance
The Gold Note PA-10 is a high-power, compact and extremely versatile power amplifier, suitable for any modern high-end audio system, with the possibility to be used in both Stereo and Mono mode. The aesthetics of the chassis are derived from the other 10 Series products, integrating the PA-10 into a coherent concept inspired by Gold Note’s Italian style and modular design. The chassis is made of heavy aluminium panels and carefully selected audio components.
Gold-Note PA-10 was born from the idea of designing a power amplifier with compact dimensions but characterised by high power and the ability to handle any type of loudspeaker. The proprietary technology developed for PA-10 makes it comparable to a Class A amplifier, doubling its power and reducing speaker impedance. It features 75W @ 8Ω, 150W @ 4Ω and 300W @ 2Ω in stereo mode and an amazing 300W @ 8Ω and 600W @ 4Ω in mono mode.
The PA-10's adjustable damping factor and BTL (Bridge-Tied-Load) function stands out for its great versatility. It can be perfectly matched to any type of loudspeaker, whether large and difficult to drive (DF High) or high sensitivity or mini-monitors (DF Low). The XLR stereo output allows the PA-10 to be set up in series for high-quality multi-room solutions, facilitated by an automatic On/Standby mode based on the received audio signal.
The PA-10 is equipped with RCA and XLR inputs and optionally offers the possibility to be connected to two different sources simultaneously. The GN Link technology enhance the ease of usage. It allows two or more amplifiers to be used in master-slave mode with other like-minded units (turn on/off all connected units via GN Link).
Please Note: The PA-10 EVO cannot be matched to the PA-10, but it is fully compatible with all of other Gold Note electronics, pre-amplifiers and valve output stages
