VTL’s legendariske Signature-serie har længe været værdsat af musikelskere, der søger fremragende lyd til en fair pris. Den nye S-200 hæver niveauet yderligere ved at inkludere VTL’s nyeste teknologi i et pladsbesparende enkeltchassis-design. Alle funktioner fra de anerkendte MB-450 og MB-185 Series III Signature monoblokke er integreret, men til en markant lavere pris. Med kvalitetskomponenter, et fuldt balanceret design og innovativt ingeniørarbejde tilbyder S-200 en lytteoplevelse uden sidestykke i denne prisklasse.
Denne 200 watt pr. kanal stereo forstærker er fyldt med teknologi, som VTL har udviklet over mange år. Et fuldt balanceret differential indgangstrin driver en differential fase-splitter og et push-pull udgangstrin med lavere impedans og en specialfremstillet, fuldt balanceret og koblet udgangstransformator. Ligesom de større modeller inkluderer forstærkeren VTL’s SmartTube-teknologi med automatisk bias-justering og fejldetektion, hvilket gør S-200 særdeles brugervenlig for dem, der sætter pris på enkel betjening. Med S-200 behøver man ikke at gætte, hvornår et rør skal udskiftes.
For at stabilisere rørets driftsforhold og sikre konstant strømforsyning, selv under svingninger i el-nettet, bruger S-200 præcisionsreguleret bias og skærmforsyning, hvilket resulterer i tonestabilitet og lydintegritet, især under komplekse og dynamiske signalforhold.
S-200 har også en brugertilpasset Damping Factor feedback-kontrol, der gør det muligt at justere forstærkerens udgangsimpedans ved at variere mængden af negativ feedback. Impedansen kan nu indstilles præcist for at matche lytterens præferencer og forbedre kontrol over højttalerbelastninger for optimal ydeevne.
De 3 indstillinger er:
- LOW – Laveste dæmpningsfaktor, god kontrol over højttaler, mest naturlig lyd.
- MED – Bedre højttalerkontrol med en vis påvirkning af lydkvaliteten.
- HI – Bedste højttalerkontrol med en smule mere påvirkning af lyden, men på højttalere, der kræver kontrol, er forbedringen tydelig.
S-200 har en lignende lydsignatur som sin storebror, MB-450 Series III Signature monoblokke. Den leverer fremragende kontrol over midtbassen, mens mellemtone og topende gengiver naturlige klange og instrumentfarver med lethed. Forstærkerens hurtighed, lave støjniveau og evne til at drive en bred vifte af højttalere er særtræk, som få andre rørforstærkere i denne prisklasse kan tilbyde. Kombiner den med VTL’s TL5.5 Series II forforstærker for en af de mest overbevisende og forførende lydoplevelser tæt på denne prisklasse.

English version
VTL’s legendary Signature series has long been valued by music lovers who seek outstanding sound at a fair price. The new S-200 takes that proposition to a new level by including VTL’s latest technology in a space saving single chassis design. All the features and functionality of the renowned MB-450 and MB-185 Series III Signature monoblocks are built in, but in a package costing significantly less. With top quality parts, a fully balanced design, and innovative engineering, the S200 offers a listening experience unparalleled at this price.
This 200 watts/channel stereo amplifier is packed with technology VTL has spent years developing. A fully balanced differential input stage drives a differential phase splitter and a lower impedance push-pull output stage with a custom made, fully balanced, interleaved and coupled output transformer. Like its stable mates, the amplifier incorporates VTL’s SmartTube technology with automatic bias adjustment and fault sensing, making this amplifier especially welcome to music lovers who value ease of use. With the S-200, there’s no need to guess when or if a tube may need to be replaced.
To keep the output tube operating point constant and stabilize the critical power supplies, even under AC and main power supply fluctuations, the S-200 deploys adjustable precision-regulated bias and screen supplies, yielding tonal stability and sonic integrity especially during complex, dynamic signal conditions.
The S-200 also features a user adjustable Damping Factor feedback control that allows the user to adjust the amplifier’s output impedance by varying the amount of negative feedback. Impedance can now be precisely set to suit the listener’s taste, and to improve control of the loudspeaker loads to deliver best performance.
The 3 possible settings are:
- LOW – Lowest damping factor, good loudspeaker control, most natural sound.
- MED – Better loudspeaker control, with some impact on sound quality
- HI – Best loudspeaker control, with a little more impact on sound quality, but on speakers that need the control the sonic improvement is clear
The S-200 bears a similar sonic signature to its bigger brother, the MB-450 Series III Signature monoblocks. The mid bass authority and control is excellent while the midrange and top end reflect natural timbres and instrument colors effortlessly. The amplifier’s agility and speed, its very low noise floor, and its ability to drive a wide range of speakers are distinct features that few other tube amplifiers in this price category can offer. Pair it with VTL’s TL5.5 Series II preamplifier for one of the most compelling and seductive sounds available anywhere close to the price.
