STRUMENTO n° 8 Signature

The first question we asked ourselves when we decided to improve the Strumento series was: where can we make changes to a sound that already seemed practically perfect? As with any creation where every parameter is pushed to the limits of its potential, the only area left to work on is the details. Only by refining every single aspect can we achieve truly superior overall performance. We are convinced of it: the new Strumento Signature models are undoubtedly the finest devices Audia has ever produced.

Strumento N°8 Signature mono-block power amplifier is a masterwork of high-fidelity audio engineering and Italian craftsmanship, that sets a new benchmark in mono-block amplification. Designed with meticulous precision, it blends technological innovation, premium materials, and world-class construction, ensuring an unparalleled listening experience. Every component is scrutinized for peak performance, much like a master luthier perfecting a fine instrument.  

Uncompromised Power and Precision
With an ultra-fast response exceeding 1MHz and up to 2300 Watts of output power, the Strumento N°8 Signature delivers unmatched control over any loudspeaker system. Its mono-block architecture enhances channel separation, creating a breathtakingly pure and immersive soundstage. Every musical nuance is faithfully reproduced with astonishing clarity and dynamics.  

Engineering Refined by Human Perception
Beyond technical excellence, expert audio specialists have spent countless hours fine-tuning its circuitry through extensive auditory tests. Each resistor and capacitor is carefully selected, transforming the amplifier into an instrument of true musical expression, capable of conveying the deepest emotions within the music.  

Italian Craftsmanship in Every Detail
A golden plaque signifies its exclusivity, while the robust aluminum chassis is a feat of precision engineering. Machined using advanced CNC technology, each piece undergoes meticulous hand-polishing, shot peening, and anodization, resulting in a flawless finish. Elegant silk-screening adds the final touch of sophistication, making the Strumento N°8 Signature as visually stunning as it is sonically remarkable.

Immaculate Internal Design
Inside, fully balanced circuitry and premium-grade components optimize audio performance. High-end Mundorf capacitors, Dale resistors, and high-frequency Reed relays ensure ultimate signal purity. A massive 320,000uF capacitor bank provides exceptional energy stability, while custom gold-plated circuit boards, ultra-fast rectifiers, and meticulously gold-plated signal pathways preserve sonic integrity over time.  

Revolutionary Power Supply Architecture
Two independent, high-current power supplies drive each channel, supported by four separate stabilized stages for minimal noise and superior stability. Dual 150VA toroidal transformers power the main stages, while a 15VA transformer handles logic and control. Traditional fuses are replaced with microprocessor-monitored current sensors, eliminating resistive limitations for optimal energy flow.

Exclusive Class A Current-Feedback Gain Stage
The proprietary gain stage, housed in an aluminum shield and encapsulated in epoxy resin, ensures stability and protection against interference. The output stage features a colossal 3000VA custom audio transformer, sealed with epoxy and enclosed in dual ferromagnetic shields, delivering immense power with absolute precision. 

Advanced Vibration Control for Sonic Purity
Mechanical innovations further enhance performance. Power transformers are isolated from the main audio circuitry, discharging unwanted vibrations through an independent chassis. This meticulous approach preserves clarity, even under extreme power demands.
