Paltauf PRE-300 & HPM-300

For our most demanding customers we offer the opportunity to experience our hybrid technology in its most technically sophisticated form. The line preamplifier PRE-300 in a noble real wood cabinet combined with mono power amplifier HPM-300 in the noble combination of stainless steel, wood and granite (on request with  the phono preamplifier "Phono 300"), performs at the highest sound level.

The sound is even better than that of the HPI-300 due to the splitting of the housing into preamp and mono power amps minimizing the interference of radiation effects - a technique also applied in full amplifiers. In this way even the last bit of sound is brought to its full potential.

Be it large orchestras, atmospheric jazz clubs, open-air concerts or sophisticated  studio recordings, the Preamplifier PRE-300/ power amplifier HPM-300 combination emulates a nearly live concert experience.

Paltauf HPI-300

Granite, wood and stainless steel reflect the inner values of our top model.  The high output power of over 300 watts into 4 ohms, a further increase in the quality of the components and the vibration-reduced  housing guarantee this hybrid amplifier to function with the highest reliability.

Be it large orchestras, atmospheric jazz clubs, open-air concerts or sophisticated studio recordings, the HPI-300  emulates  a nearly live concert experience.

No matter which type of music this amplifier excels in producing a crystal clear fidelity sound.


Signal voltage amplification with tubes

Producing a natural, lively sound image due to high dynamic range with very low distortion.


Balanced output stage

With complementary lateral MOSFETs: broadband, high current capability, lowest distortion.


Active volume control

Constant high sound quality independent of volume setting (mechanical potentiometers change their technical characteristics according to slider settings).


Power supply

Elaborate power supply with voltage stabilizers for each amplifier stage - three stabilizers for the audio circuitry, separate independent power supply for the control functions. Individually adjustable power supply, specially designed for audio applications for the output stages.


Processing

High quality components, e.g. 1% and 0.1% precision resistors, highest quality film capacitors in the signal path, 105° electrolytic capacitors with high durability in the power supply, circuit boards with optimized conductor path.


Power supply

For output stage: Switching power supply for 1.2 KW


Technical data:

2 x 160 watts/8 ohms, 2 x 300 watts/4 ohms
Frequency response: 5 Hz to over 100,000 Hz (-1db)

Adyton Air Ribbon Supertweeter

Properly done this supertweeter improves your soundstage and imagine and gives much more air into the soundstage and even improves mid- and low frequency definition.

It is important to ensure that the distance from the tweeter in your speaker will have exactly the same distance to your ear as this super tweeter. Even one mm is important! When that is done, try to find what polarity of the super tweeter that gives best summation of the both.

Next, try to super adjust the distance of the super tweeter to give best total sound. Normally it is expected that the super tweeter is 6-12mm behind the original tweeter due to phase shift at high frequency of the original tweeter in your speaker. Then you have to adjust correct crossover frequency of the super tweeter and also adapt the sensitivity.


Technical data:

Sensitivity 93dB/1w

Adjustable 6 steps each -1 dB

Frequency response 10k-100kHz -6dB

Adjustable from 17k-22kHz in 6 steps

Tobian SC1 Reference Preamplifier

The SC1…completely legal happiness drug.

Our new SC1 is a real five ★★★★★ transformer coupled Reference preamplifier. The SC1 is completely hand wired (point to point) and all components were newly developed especially for the SC1.

For example; the new line output transformer with over 350 henrys is unique on the market!

Very good audio line out transformers transmit up to 95% of the original power of a triode; in watts!

Transformer coupling advantages however depend on the quality of the line out transformer and of course on the choice of tubes, like the legendary Directly Heated Triode 300b or 801a which we install in SC1.

As transformers are the essential part in each device and depending on their quality final result depend, we at Tobian Soundsystems do not want to leave anything to chance, so we decided to manufacture transformers ourselves.

After many hours spend on research and development and numerous comparisons and tests, we decided to use the best core material "M-core and E-core super-Permalloy". The result is an unprecedented audio line out transformer with a very wide and flexible frequency response ranging from 10Hz to 30kHz square wave.

This low-distortion and ultra-musical line out output transformer is the ideal partner for our new SC1 and has helped us to bring to life this exceptional preamplifier.
