Amadeus
Our best amplifier!
Our Amadeus is the top model of the WLM amplifier line.
It is an integrated amplifier with 1175 watts per channel, a power that supplies even the most demanding loudspeaker systems with sufficient audiophile power at all times.
Amadeus is fully symmetrical and has a Bluetooth receiver for wireless transmission of stored music signals and an absolute high-end phono preamplifier (MM and MC) with variable RIAA equalization curves.
The preamp section is analog and hand-wired like the whole device.
All features of our reference preamp Anton can also be found in the integrated amplifier Amadeus:
Inputs:
1 x Bluetooth / 1 x XLR Input / 3 x Cinch Input / 2 x Phono MC/MM select
The power-amp stages are designed as High End Class D amplifiers and are also fully balanced. Technically they correspond to the state of the art monoblocks ("Johann") from WLM.
A high-quality headphone amplifier is accessible via the front panel.
Front panel:
On this front panel there are outstanding adjustment possibilities, which can only be found in this form on the Amadeus reference preamplifier:
30* Harmonic Switch @ 8kHz
45* Harmonic Switch @ 10kHz
These toggle switches represent an optional analog correction network for phase rotations in the high-frequency range and, depending on the loudspeaker, have a clear influence on the correct spatial representation of the music event.
In the bass range, Amadeus also uses analog filters to adapt to room requirements, loudspeakers used and listening preferences:
+3dB Switch Bass @25Hz
With this increase in volume, small loudspeakers in particular gain a noticeable footing, which makes a decisive difference, especially when it comes to low volume accessories.
Bass Contour Switch @ 25Hz & 50Hz
In this position, the equalization curve is adjusted at the specified frequency ranges in order to optimize the interaction with given room acoustic parameters. The following setting options also contribute to this:
Bass Contour Adjust +6dB @ 25Hz & 50 Hz
In addition to the above-mentioned mode, the volume is increased by 6 dB over the adjustment range of the equalization curve.
The aim of all adjustment options is to offer the customer analogue individualisation according to the best audiophile tradition, without bringing about any sound changes using DSP.
