Class-A stereo integrated amplifier. The SV-238 Mk works as a Class A amplifier up to 2x60W, then it switches to AB up to 2x200 W (into 8 ohms), 2x400 W (4 ohms) respectively. By this the Vincent combines the best of the two worlds. The trade off is that it draws 300 watts of power at idle. There is a sizable 1500VA toroidal transformer inside that has dual windings for each channel, 16 Sanken power transistors per channel and big finned coolers that run quite hot during operation. The SV-238 Mk supports two pairs of speakers which is usable in a bi-wiring set up only, as the user cannot switch between A and B speakers - the signal is present on the speaker terminals all the time. The Vincent lets you hear the recorded ambience with ease and the recordings are thus conveyed with nice dimensionality. The bass of the Vincent is very controlled and tight and has slightly warm tonality. When moving higher in the frequency range the SV-238 Mk is a very honest amplifier. It does not mask the sound by its own signature. Technical Specifications: Frequency response: 20 Hz - 50 kHz +/- 0.5 dB. Nominal Output Power RMS / 2 Ohm: 2 x 700 Watt. Input sensitivity: 250 mV. Signal-Noise ratio: > 95 dB. Input impedance: 47 kOhm. (6) Inputs: 5 x RCA and 1 x XLR. Outputs: 4x2 speaker connectors accepting 4 speakers. (2) Pre Out: 1 x unbalanced RCA, 1 x balanced XLR. Remarks: a) No original packaging; b) One dent on the back of the top panel, and one mark on the silver front panel.
