About ADCOM:
In the world of high performance
audio, Adcom has done the impossible: make state-of-the-art components that are
easy to use at an affordable price. In doing this, Adcom has created a
revolution in the world of high-end audio. By creating some of the most renowned
components and offering them at affordable prices, Adcom has enabled more people
to hear the details of their favorite music.
Innovation is our stronghold, and
our numerous awards year after year prove that we're never satisfied to rest on
our reputation. From our legendary high current amplifiers to our
state-of-the-art digital processors, Adcom components consistently impress even
the most demanding audiences. Adcom components have won over 25 Product of the
Year and Special Recognition citations from Audio Video International, 3
Diapason D'Or Awards, 7 Consumer Electronics Show Design and Engineering Awards,
and have appeared on Stereophile's "Recommended Components" lists over
70 times since 1988. A reputation worth its weight in gold.
Every Adcom component is not only
designed to reproduce the highest quality sound, but to also deliver the
greatest possible value. It is our engineers' passion for perfection that has
enabled our components to be judged the equivalent of others costing two, three,
or even five times as much. Our goal at Adcom is to let more music lovers hear
high-end quality without paying high-end prices.
All Adcom components are the
result of a long-standing dedication to innovation, quality, simplicity and
value. A dedication to producing details you can hear.
About ADCOM Power Amplifiers:
ADCOM’s new multi-channel amplifiers were
designed to meet the performance requirements of the new DVD audio and SACD
high-resolution audio formats. Using our Fast Analog Transform (F.A.T.)
technology, our amplifiers are designed to produce incredibly wide dynamic range
and broad frequency response. Our Power-Rig circuit topology minimizes time
smear to reproduce all the intricate information in the original sonic
signature. Available in both five and seven channel configurations at three
different power levels, ADCOM has the power amplifier for your high performance
system.
About ADCOM GFA-5500:
The MOSFET outputs are
acknowledged worldwide for their ability to amplify harmonics, musical texture,
and extended bass with unequaled accuracy. The circuit design with a larger and
quieter toroid power transformer and oversized power supply capacitors, deliver
the large amounts of current demanded by low impedance speaker loads.
The pure simplicity of the design
helps to keep the damping factor high to maximize speaker control and ensure
clear and uncolored sound at all frequencies.
Using single ended Class
"A" circuitry in the front end, these amplifiers deliver the warmth
and smoothness other amplifiers can only envy. The highest quality circuit
boards are another testament to ADCOM's commitment to combining the finest level
of components to create outstanding performance.
These amplifiers deliver more
power and more current to drive virtually any resistive/capacitive load up to
its rated output, giving you amplifiers that are designed to excel under
conditions imposed by even the most demanding speakers.
And the most demanding audience.
You.
