Electa Amator III is the achievement of a 30-year journey. The third generation of an iconic product generated by an expression of natural evolution, withholding the elements that make us unique: precious materials, high craftsmanship and natural sound.

The cabinet harmoniously combines; solid walnut wood that becomes an integral body with the Carrara marble base, through a brass insert that illuminates the lines and enhances each material. The combination is a recurring characteristic of Sonus faber creations derived from our designers' will to allow the most heterogeneous mechanical behavior possible from each product, for the benefit of the naturalness of the sound.

Hand-applied leather envelopes the rear panel and front baffle which houses the Voice of Sonus faber while dedicated black anodized aluminum columns, filled with damping material and mounted on a Carrara marble base, provide loudspeaker support. Aluminum and marble are separated by a thin brass sheet, consistent with the speaker cabinet.

Unison Research® is celebrating with a special edition of our most successful products: Simply Italy, Triode 25 and S6. The Black Edition boasts advanced technical and sonic performance, featuring a new cosmetic design with a piano black wood front panel, black gun metal finish and updated lettering graphics.

To improve the S6 we worked on its strengths and we went even further to achieve higher sound quality.

The circuitry has been revised in the signal path and power management, again surpassing the milestones already achieved in the S6. Power output is now 40 W, 15% more than the standard model. The polarisation of the power output valves has been completely revised to eliminate the capacitor and cathode resistor.

The input selection circuit has been implemented using the same technology designed for our most valuable equipment and extreme care has been taken in the design of the ground paths and channel separation. The valuable audio signal, where possible, travels protected in high-quality coaxial cables.

The S6 Black Edition amplifier is able to meet the needs of the most demanding users, featuring:

• Dual Mono amplification;
• Cathode Capacitor Less technology;
• Unfiltered Sub output that maintains the sound timbre of the amplifier designed to be connected to active subwoofer;
• Input selection circuit implemented using micro relays and Return GND technology;
• In addition to the 4 analogue inputs, inside the amplifier there's the new DAC3, which adds 3 more digital inputs; USB (PCM up to 384 kHz, DSD native up to 256x e DoP up to 128x), Tos-link e SPDIF up to 92 kHz as standard.

Technical Specifications:

• Output power: 40 W on 6 Ω
• Bandwidth (-1 dB): 15 Hz - 30 kHz
• Signal valves: 2x ECC83 Gold Lion
• Output power valves: 3x KT77 Gold Lion in parallel for each channel
• Polarisation: pure Class A in ultralinear configuration with tap at 20% (power valves)
• Inputs: 4x line RCA, 1x USB, 1x SPDIF, 1x Toslink
• Outputs: 1x subwoofer RCA (stereo)

The Fathom f112v2 is a superb subwoofer solution in medium-sized rooms and is equally at home supporting a music-only system or a home theater system. The combination of an ultra-long throw W7 12-inch driver and a very powerful switching amplifier give it the kind of output normally associated with far larger subwoofer systems.

Because it is built with the same driver and amplifier technology as our flagship Gotham®, the f112v2 delivers a tremendous level of sound quality. Low distortion, excellent dynamic capabilities and shockingly deep bass extension will allow you to experience all the excitement of the most demanding cinematic material, while also being able to reproduce all the nuance and texture of your most delicate musical material.

A complete set of signal processing features is easily accessible on the front surface of every Fathom. These include a highly flexible low-pass filter, variable phase, switchable polarity, e.l.f. trim and our powerful Digital Automatic Room Optimization (D.A.R.O.) system. A calibrated microphone is included for the D.A.R.O. system. Input connections are made via unbalanced RCA connections or balanced Neutrik® combo XLR/TRS jacks. Also included is an XLR output to connect a second Fathom® as a slave unit.
