Elipson P1 and A2700 - Audiophile Performance for the Future

In today's article, we will talk about preamp and power amplifier systems, Elipson P1 and Elipson A2700.

The Elipson P1 is a preamplifier with outstanding capabilities to keep distortion reduced to a strict minimum and an optimal signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, it is also remarkable for its modularity of the P1 allowing not to fall behind in time, allowing the adaptation of optional input cards. This modularity, for both the analogue and digital parts, is supported by internal software that can be updated by the user via an easily accessible USB socket.

The Elipson P1 has several line inputs in its original configuration and can be expanded with optional slot cards: one for the RIAA MM/MC Phono stagesas well as another module offering three digital inputs with a resolution of up to 32 bits sampled at 384 kHz.

Its construction presents a elegant and sober presentation. Its interface via the front display offers ease of use, complemented by its personalised and elegant remote control.

Complement it with the power of the A2700

 

The A2700 power amplifier is the perfect complement to the P1 preamplifier.

The Elipson A2700 power amplifier comes into play as a high-end model capable of developing a power output of 400 W RMS under 8 ohms in stereo mode or 1400 W RMS under 8 ohms in mono mode. The outstanding performance of the Elipson A2700 enables running any pair of floor-standing or bookshelf speakers. Its unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR inputs make it easy to connect to any preamplifier.

Its amplification capabilities are outstanding for the ease of working with any signal due to its 400 W RMS under 8 Ohms, 700 W RMS under 4 Ohms and especially the 900 W in impulse mode under 2 Ohms. It can be modulated in mono and offers 1400 W RMS (2500 W peak) under 8 Ohms without thermal overload, positioning itself as an amplifier that can drive all loudspeakers on the market..

Its technique of minimising background noise and distortion is essential in its design to deliver the ultimate musical experience in complexity and finesse.

The A2700 has the following features:

  • Efficient power handling Wrms / channel / 8Ω Class D 400 W @ THD = 1% (clipping) 2 channel function
  • Harmonic distortion: (THD) at 100W @ 8Ω < 0.005% @ 1kHz
  • Harmonic distortion: (THD) at 1 W @ 8Ω < 0.003% at 1 kHz
  • Intermodulation distortion (IMD SMPTE) at 100 W <0.01%
  • RMS power Wrms / channel / 4Ω 710 W @ THD = 1% (2 x 750 W peak at CF * = 12 dB)
  • RMS power Wrms 8Ω clamping mode 1400 W / 2500 W peak at CF = 12 dB
  • Impulse power 2 x 900 W under 2 ohms with CF = 12 dB
  • Power consumption (230 Vac / 120 Vac) 250 W with PF * = 0.96 at Pmax / 8 at 4 Ω 2 channels
