VAC exists for one reason: to bring the wealth of recorded music back with the greatest possible breath of life, to preserve and present the essence of the performance, to allow the artist to connect with you, today, now, right where you are.
The Essence 90 Monobloc combines a pair of the legendary Gold Lion KT88 beam power tubes with our patented iQ Continuous Automatic Bias System and a massive 14 pound power transformer to deliver a vivid, lifelike sound that practically leaps from the loudspeakers. In a circuit adapted from our larger amplifiers, two 6SN7GTB octal twin triodes operating in a Class A1 in a direct coupled configuration form the input and driver circuit.
An external balanced (XLR) / SE (RCA) input switch alters six points within the amplifier to configure the circuit as fully balanced to accept a single-ended input. In either mode, the Essence 90 iQ is acting in the optimal fashion to accommodate your connection requirement.
The Essence 90 iQ will deliver 90 watts continuously into 4, 8, or 16 ohm loads via premium Cardas rhodium plated binding posts.
