Features
Sonic Performance
The Jazz 100 stands out for its remarkable audio performance, with an extended frequency response from 12 Hz to 33 kHz (-3 dB) and total harmonic distortion kept to just 0.2% at moderate power. These technical characteristics translate into sound reproduction that is both precise and warm, where every musical nuance is preserved.
Adaptability to different speakers is a major asset of this amplifier. Its dedicated output terminals for 4 and 8 ohm impedances allow for optimal matching with virtually any type of speaker. This flexibility is enhanced by the ability to adjust the level of negative feedback: in the low position, the sound gains openness and expressiveness, while in the high position, it becomes more controlled and precise.
For headphone listening enthusiasts, the Jazz 100 features a dedicated front-panel output powered by a specific transformer. Compatible with headphones ranging from 16 to 300 ohms impedance, this section inherits the sonic qualities of the main amplification and offers a high-level personal listening experience.
