The technology behind

The A 6.2 Master Edition is a Class A / AB amplifier equipped with MOS FET transistors in the output stages. These transistors are much faster than bi-polar transistors, but much more difficult to handle. The concepts of the characteristic curves of ideally matched transistors have helped AVM to achieve new levels of performance. AVM first implemented this principle in their power amplifier flagship models of the OVATION Line. The speed of this MOS-FET based circuit helps AVM to realize a sonic richnessu of detail never heard before. At the same time, AVMs special single-ended circuit topology of the output stage realizes the incredibly powerful, full and warm sound of the A 6.2 Master Edition.

The new Class A headphone amplifier is equipped with a self-contained amplifier unit and operates completely independently in Class A mode. This amplifier stage is located behind the 15 millimeter thick front panel.The entire OVATION housing of the A 6.2 Master Edition is reminiscent of a small save cabinet but is once again only a means to an end, as the A 6.2 Master Edition can be effectively cooled in this way and is correspondingly torsionally stiff, so that all components can be effectively protected against unwanted external influences such as vibrations. Another detail: The ball bearing knobs are turned from a single piece together with the axle and therefore do not require any grub screws. Behind it follows a long axis which leads to the screwed on rotary controls.

Further connection details: Separate preamplifier outputs can be used to connect additional power amplifiers such as the ideally suited OVATION SA 6.3 for optional bi-amping operation – in balanced or unbalanced mode. The A 6.2 Master Edition is completely updateable, so that additional functions can be easily added in the future. An active phase indicator also makes it easier for you to connect the power supply correctly. In the A 6.2 Master Edition many useful ‘helpers’ work in the background and help to achieve maximum ease of use: Protective circuits prevent damage e.g. in case of connection errors, soft mute functions suppress noise e.g. when switching at full volume. Various settings can be adjusted to your individual needs: For example, inputs can be renamed or levels of different input levels can be adjusted to each other. Home theatre loops (so-called AV Pass Through) are also selectable.

Like all AVM devices, the A 6.2 Master Edition is manufactured by hand at the AVM factory in Malsch, and the vast majority of suppliers, e.g. for the precision housing parts, are also located in the immediate vicinity. Repeated, intensive quality controls during all production stages and a break-in period of several days for each individual device ensure our promise of maximum reliability in the long term.
