Austrian Audio Full Score one headphone amplifier in UK/EU
Austrian Audio announces the forthcoming availability of its latest model, the Full Score one, in the United Kingdom and the European Union. Crafted with the same precision and dedication as Austrian Audio’s headphones and microphones, the Full Score one marks the brand’s debut in the world of headphone amplifiers.
Perfect Partner
Designed for dedicated audiophiles, engineers and musicians seeking unparalleled sonic experiences, the Full Score one is the perfect companion to its maker’s The Composer headphones, which came to market earlier this year.
True Transient Technology
True Transient Technology is at the heart of the Full Score one, delivering breathtaking transients with superb clarity and detail. Whether it’s the crisp snap of a kick drum or the delicate pluck of a guitar string, every nuance is faithfully reproduced with precision, ensuring a captivating listening experience. Full Score one is the first product to employ its maker’s True Transient Technology.
Built to last
Meticulously engineered and manufactured in Austria and built to last, the Full Score one design is as clean as a whistle, featuring a fully discrete analogue amplifier design, free from integrated circuits in the signal path, ensuring pristine sound quality with minimal noise. With the ability to accommodate a wide range of headphone impedances, from 10 Ohms to over 300 Ohms, this amplifier caters to the diverse needs of audio enthusiasts and sound engineers alike.
Technical excellence
The Full Score one’s innovative design features a wide band, fully symmetrical voltage feedback circuit coupled with a triple emitter follower output stage biased in class B, a high-speed complementary push-pull gain stage, and a cascoded parallel differential input stage. This advanced configuration ensures exceptionally low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at every output level and over a wide frequency range.
Austrian Audio CEO Martin Seidl said: “Our technical approach to our first headphone amp was comparable to building a very low-noise power amplifier. The Full Score one handles low-impedance headphones down to 10 Ohms and high-impedance, low-sensitivity headphones with over 300 Ohms.”
Customers can order the Full Score one in the European Union starting March 2024, and availability in the United Kingdom will commence in April 2024.The Full Score one is priced at €1.499 and £1,299.
