CYRUS Zero Feedback |
Product Overview
The Mono X 300 Signature incorporates a huge amount of power to provide great amplification, with our Zero Feedback technology.
Inside, the amplification processes have been expertly engineered to produce zero feedback, with complex circuitry making sure that the output is powerful and precise.
Despite the much higher cost of production, we pursue Zero Feedback technology because it brings some very special attractive sonic benefits. The amplification processes have been expertly engineered to produce Zero Feedback, with complex circuitry making sure that the output is powerful and precise. Two interesting benefits of Zero Feedback technology are:
- The design allows the key stages in our amplifier to work independently without the hindrance of global feedback. In a traditional amplifier the corrective actions necessary in the output stage to drive a loudspeaker are fed through the entire amplifier, disturbing unnecessarily the input and voltage amplifier stages. To put this another way, it allows the first stage of the amplifier to operate without the unwelcome influence of the latter, separate voltage and current stages. Zero Feedback amplifiers are only possible when one understands how to prevent distortion in the first place. They require very advanced circuit topology and close tolerance components.
- Cyrus Zero Feedback amplifiers are able to create an uncanny sonic blackness onto which we paint our musical image. They can achieve this because as the output level reduces to lower levels, where the ear becomes most sensitive to these effects, the distortion produced by the Mono X 300 Signature falls below measurable limits. The result is an exceptional musical performance.
