ASA monitors + CL3 Gemincore, small but exceptional, no kidding

Audio Hardware : ASA monitors + CL3 Gemincore, small but exceptional, no kidding - macmusicCL3 was showing at the AES the Gemincore, a small but exceptional amplification module. About the size of a big matchbox, this circuit in Class D is both powerful (250W in 4 Ohms, 150W in 8 Ohms, 1000W peak, 97% efficiency, NO heatsink!) and of exceptional qualities in both the noise and distorsion department. The electronics can be bought in kit form, for a 2 ways expandable to 4 amplifier, or for OEM integration in active monitors (expect other studio monitors featuring these later ;) We could hear the result of the tight PWM at work thru passive and active ASA monitors with both truthful and pleasing details (but neutral still), stereo image, depth, transients… I've found out some details in some Björk songs I've never heard before.

CL3: Kit: amplifier module 237€, Powering unit, 120€
Stereo Gemincore amplifier 2500€
ASA range starts from the active Baby at 2600€ per pair up to the passive Grand Monitor Pro
