S-800 Amplifier

As important as quality high fidelity speakers are the amplifiers that drive them. Rodgers Audiophile Amplifiers are engineered to perfectly complement our full line of Audiophile Speakers. We design our amplifiers to meet the demands of institutional use; they're built to last. We utilize large heat sinks and state-of-the-art components to assure excellent performance, even in areas of extreme temperature.

At the core of our Audiophile Amplifier is the Amplifier Integrated Circuit (IC). This Thick Film Hybrid IC offers many advantages over discrete component assemblies:

  • Devices inside the Hybrid are ultrasonically bonded to the substrate, eliminating the need for additional solder connections. The greatly reduced number of connections increases performance reliability.
  • Components inside the Hybrid are mounted on a substrate that has high thermal conductivity. Temperature variations as the amplifier operates are precisely controlled, achieving low distortion whether operating at low volume or full power.

Almost as important as the amplifier itself is the amplifier power supply. Our Audiophile Amplifiers provide exceptional reserve power capacity, referred to as “Dynamic Headroom.” Many amplifiers can produce more than their rated power output on brief, transient music signals lasting a fraction of a second. With the Dynamic Headroom of our Audiophile Amplifiers, we have the short-term ability to deliver speaker power far in excess of rated output without clipping or distortion. This is critical to accommodate high musical peaks.

Rodgers Audiophile Amplifiers also employ a unique Dynamic Power Allocation design. It’s a system calculated to provide maximum power efficiency to supply true sound and a lifetime of service. Simply put, Rodgers brings superb sound and product quality together in perfect harmony. You can hear the difference.
