P100 POWER STEREO

DESIGN MINDSET

After a long journey in researching and developing various tube amplification designs from 2006 until today, our target in New Generation hybrid tube amplification design is taking advantage of great achievements of tube amplification designs researched and developed by our R&D team. Accordingly, all engineering applications and combinations of tubes and components are optimized to get the best sound that we define as natural, correct and emotional sound reproduction.

– Zero Feedback

Our designers have seen that many designs of hybrid amplification today are popular with a combination of a tube pre-amplifier and solid stage power amplifier with many amplification stages. This design solution usually uses too much feedback, which reduces the natural and detail of the original sound, making the reproduced sound become hard, dry and less emotional. Using too much feedback for the amplification has more negative results than its benefit for the sound reproduction. Therefore, in the MAVIS’s Master Series hybrid tube amplifiers, we limit maximum feedback in amplifying to achieve the most natural and correct sound.

Indeed, Zero Feedback is one top of our criteria when designing amplifiers. This engineering method preserves the naturalness of the sound, so that the music is conveyed most faithfully and emotionally.

– Using Output Transformer and Interstage Transformer in hybrid tube amplification

Output Transformer (OPT) and Interstage Transformer (IT) are always known as a very high cost component that is often used in high end tube amplifiers. This component is also the best choice in tube amplification design to get the most natural and high fidelity sound quality. In the world at present time, the MAVIS’s Tube Mosfet Transformer amplifiers are the unique hybrid tube amplifiers using both OPT and IT. Our technology of OPT and IT has been researched and developed for many years since 2008 until now and these are the very important components that contribute to the best sound quality of our all tube amplifier and hybrid tube amplifier today. Our OPT and IT are made in-house by the highly skilled technicians.

– Assembling the hybrid tube amplifier by Point-to-Point method

Point-to-point is a very high cost method of assembling amplifiers because this method requires a lot of labour time and high skilled technicians. In return, the advantages of this method are the great durability and stable operation of the device so this method is often applied in producing high end tube amplifiers. Mavis’s all Tube Mosfet Transformer Amplifiers are assembled by point-to-point and this is an outstanding standard for the MAVIS’s hybrid tube amplifier.

ENGINEERING SOLUTION

The P100 POWER STEREO is a compact one-block Power amplifier version that shares the same design philosophy and sound characteristics as the P200, suitable for medium to high sensitivity speakers (88-100dB).

The input amplification stage of P100 uses a very famous CV-181 / 6SN7 / 6H8C vacuum tube. This results in an oustandingly rich, warm, detailed and highly musical sound. The driver stage uses 6V6 power tubes and interstate transformers in Class A – Single Ended to optimally transmit the flexibility and sophistication of the vacuum tube amplification signals to the MOSFET power stage. This engineering solution has made the mid and high ranges of the P100 very detailed, sophisticated and soaring. The sound is truly at a class of high-end Single Ended vacuum tube amplifiers.

The design of combining Output Transformer and Mosfet in the Power stage is an excellent combination of the characteristic sophistication of the vacuum tube amplification sound and the highest dynamics of the solid-state sound. The results are the bass responds quickly and is controlled extremely detailed and clean. This design gives P100 a very pure and clean sound, super low noise! Therefore, your music experience will be sublimated wonderfully.
