Balanced Audio Technology Celebrates Its 20th Anniversary
with Debut of New Preamps and Power Amps at CES 2015
INTERNATIONAL CES, LAS VEGAS, Nevada, January 6, 2015 — Balanced Audio Technology (BAT), the U.S. manufacturer of ultra-high-end vacuum tube and solid-state audio components, is celebrating its 20th anniversary at CES with the introduction of four new products: the VK-23SE and VK-43SE solid-state stereo preamplifiers and the VK-225 and VK-225SE solid-state stereo power amplifiers. BAT is exhibiting in Suite 29-122 at The Venetian.
The VK-23SE preamplifier (SRP: $4,995), like all BAT preamps, features fully balanced circuit topology throughout, which inherently eliminates noise and preserves signal purity. The VK-23SE utilizes BAT’s exclusive Unistage™ single-gain-stage, zero-feedback design with no buffers or followers, transformer-coupled outputs for each channel and the shortest possible signal path to achieve maximum resolution, transparency and musical accuracy.
The VK-43SE (SRP: $8,995) is the company’s new top-of-the-line solid-state preamplifier. It is a dual-monaural design with transformer-coupled outputs for each channel. Like the VK-23SE, it incorporates BAT’s Unistage zero-feedback design with no buffers or followers and a minimal signal path. The VK-43SE’s massive power supply employs BAT’s proprietary SUPER CAP custom paper-in-oil capacitors and delivers extremely wide dynamic capability. Both models are supplied with a remote control and will be available in an elegant all black or silver/black brushed-aluminum finishes.
The Balanced Audio Technology VK-225 amplifier (SRP: $4,995) uses the same symmetrical discrete bipolar output transistor design as the company’s reference VK-6200 power amp to provide exceptional clarity, dynamic authority and accurate, extended frequency response. It delivers 150 watts per channel power output into 8 ohms (300 wpc into 4 ohms), and features audiophile-grade components throughout, the shortest-possible signal paths with zero negative feedback and other refinements to deliver superlative sound in high-end music systems. The VK-225SE amplifier (SRP: $6,495) adds BAT’s SUPER-PAK power supply circuit that provides greatly increased energy storage capacity, to convey music with effortless dynamic authority, nuance and realism. Both amps will be available in all black or silver/black brushed-aluminum finishes.At CES 2015, BAT is also showcasing its flagship REX II vacuum-tube stereo preamplifier and power amplifier and a host of its ultimate-performance audio components.
