Integrated hybrid stereo amplifier in class A FONEL - "Integra"
Many-sided talent - the only one of its kind
The integrated amplifier FONEL "Integra" combines unique solutions, many of which have never before been used in any integral amplifier:
  • hybrid tube-and-semiconductor construction with output stages, working in the pure class A;
  • tone and balance controls and built-in MM/MC phono-preamplifier, made on the basis of unique tube triodes-nuvistors;
  • the interface of own design FONEL-Link, which, combined with the control circuit, gives a possibility of efficient use of "Integra" combined with three-way amplifier "Trinité", in cinema and multi-channel audio-video systems;
  • DAC-input, similar to the one used in the CD-Player FONEL "Simplicité" that was given Fairadio -"AWARD 2008" for its peerless sounding;
  • 2 digital USB inputs.
FONEL "Integra" enables its owner to create an audio-video system of the highest quality and, at the same time:
  • to do without buying a separate cinema system; to use the advantages, the best opportunities of available components and various data formats: during listening to stereo and multi-channel music, viewing concerts and movies;
  • to connect to the amplifier various external digital devices, for example: CD-players, CD-transports, docking stations of "iPod" type, computers and to get, meanwhile, splendid sounding due to usage of high-quality DAC;
  • 6 special RCA-inputs permit to connect different 5.1 sources to the amplifier, for instance: DVD-players, surrounding sound processors for creating a 5.1 system with a splendid dynamic sound.
Features of engineering solutions, realized in FONEL- "Integra":
  • a possibility of work with a wide range of digital sound signal sources, having discretization frequency up to 192 kHz,
  • an adaptive power source,
  • microprocessor operating all operation modes of the amplifier, protection and commutation,
  • XLR, RCA inputs and outputs, USB input,
  • remote control,
  • usage of gold-plated relays in the commutation channel,
  • usage of separate toroidal transformers for analogue and digital circuits, control schemes,
  • multilevel protection system,
  • RF-filter in the input switch and the system of AC network interference filtration
  • possibility of connecting two pairs of acoustic systems, headphones,
  • the amplifier case is made of steel no less than 3 mm, what provides improved shielding of electronic components, reliable damping and minimization of mechanical resonance.
   Standard version of wooden panels: ash, mahogany, walnut. Black piano-lacquer and other types of wood are performed to order. A remote control in a case perfectly made of wood. Multilayer lacquering and hand-made polishing.
