CA-S3 - Digital Integrated Amplifier
Product Features
The world’s first super broadband, low noise, low distortion DC front end amplifier, delivers identical sound quality from low to high volume. This newly developed system enables constant frequency characteristics regardless of volume level. This small CD case sized marvel is a perfect companion to small home or office, analogue or digital (mini-server or computer based) AV sound systems
Unchanged High Quality Sound even at Low Volume levels
Newly developed One Pole Pre-Amplifier (world's first) enables the enjoyment of high quality sound under circumstances where one is required to listen to music at lower levels, i.e. in the late evenings, etc.
Musicality with High Definition
CA-S3 is equipped with a unique power supply that is three to five times more efficient than conventional designs. This super-efficient power supply imparts a more stable sound image with excellent musicality and high definition.
Original Bi-Phase PWM Amplifier realizes Superb High Sound Quality
The audiophile sound quality of the CA-S3 is made possible by Flying Mole's original Bi-Phase PWM technology. Enables a vast improvement in resolution and linear reproduction of subtle signal levels. In addition, dual (analog & digital) NFB eliminates the influence of AC power line voltage fluctuations and the high input capacitance of Power FETs to affect sound quality
Simple Construction for Pure Sound
Circuit construction is very simple. The CA-S3 is not equipped with either input selector or speaker selector. This leads to a very pure reproduction of the signal.
Newly Developed Original Speaker Terminal
The solid, gold-plated brass speaker terminals are cone shaped. This shape enables maximum contact area with bare wires, thus, minimizing contact resistance.
The Refined Finish of the Chassis
Non-magnetic pure aluminum is used throughout the chassis housing and is up to 10mm thick (front panel). This imparts a solid feel to the unit while suppressing the effects of vibration.
Other Measures for High Sound Quality
- Stringently Selected, Premium Parts and Components
- 27-Level Volume Control Unit with High Precision Accuracy
Green Technology
The unit's total electrical efficiency is 80% at maximum output, leading to its cool running, low power and energy saving consumption (it turns electricity into power, not heat), and allows for its compact body (saving resources). Components used in the CA-S3 correspond strictly to the RoHS directives (※), further proof that Flying Mole pays full attention to matters of ecology and conservation.
(※) RoHS directive : Restriction of Hazardous Substances(RoHS) directive
Use of six(6) kinds of substances(lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl and polybrominated biphenyl ether) are restricted.
