Brand din Top 5 mondial High-End - in opinia specialistilor - PLINIUS AUDIO seduce, in egala masura, atat
autorii review-urilor produselor sale cat si posesorii sai, indiferent de continentul pe care s-ar afla acestia.
Fabricate in totalitate numai in Noua Zeelanda, manual, PLINIUS AUDIO foloseste numai componente
high-end in toate produsele sale, implicit carcasele acestora fiind fabricate din acelasi material din care
sunt construite avioanele.
Renumite pentru calitatea exceptionala a sunetului lor, produsele PLINIUS AUDIO va vor asigura o
transparenta si o naturalete a sunetului, fara a produce o "coloratie" a acestuia.
Veti avea placuta surpriza sa observati o neasteptata versatilitate in raport cu diferite tipuri si brand-uri
de boxe si de cabluri, nefiind constransi in niciun fel in acest sens, fiind produse pe care le veti cumpara
si folosi atat pentru prezent cat si pentru viitorul indepartat, in sistemul de acasa.
The PLINIUS ODEON is the culmination of more than two years actual development time and twenty-two years
of PLINIUS heritage.
When PLINIUS first stepped onto the Multichannel development path they found that although there were
already many fine home theatre amplifiers available none had really addressed the requirements of music lovers.
Right from the outset the PLINIUS Odeon had to satisfy a real world musical presentation.
For PLINUS this meant that if one replaced an SA-102 or an SA-250 in a two-channel system with their
ODEON amplifier there would be no chance of feeling short changed.
The design team set about emulating the performance of our SA-102 in a form that could be built into a
multichannel chassis without compromise.
While the circuit work was developing our Director of Design Ross Stevens was creating havoc with PLINIUS
engineers in building the chassis he wanted to house the circuitry.
By January 2002 PLINIUS had a working prototype and our early comparisons with the best available
Home Theatre amplifiers proved that they had something very special indeed.
Production was delayed while specialist bending equipment was designed and fabricated, resulting in a
custom machine able to reliably reproduce the complex two piece aluminium chassis surround.
Internally the ODEON is striking in both its complexity and engineering excellence.
The power supply is huge and uses 4 transformers connected in parallel to provide the drive necessary for up
to six channels delivering 200 Watts each continuously.
The main circuit board has the control circuitry plus the initial power supply filtering.
The full benefit of the power supply can be heard when the Odeon is used in a two channel system, giving one
a sense of immense reserve regardless of the speaker demands.
There is further power supply filtering on each amplification module. All single channel modules are fitted with
input and output terminals offering both Single Ended and Balanced input connections.
Of course nothing stands still and during the gestation period of the ODEON further requirements of
Multichannel amplifiers became apparent.
In order to future proof the ODEON PLINIUS have designed a Dual Channel Amplifier Module which can be
fitted at the time of purchase or easily added later as the system evolves.
The Dual Channel Module has a power rating of 2 x 100Watts and allows expansion right up to twelve
channels if necessary.
Therefore any combination of 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 etc is available and can be field fitted.
The PLINIUS ODEON can also be used in a two channel system as a stand alone tri-amplifier delivering power
and finesse to the most demanding speaker systems.
This is a highly developed amplifier and will form the nucleus of the best multichannel or two channel audio systems.
