Like the entire Kora amplifier range, the TA 480 is powered by the Square Tube® operational amplifier. Equipped with 4 triodes per channel, this innovative circuitry provides very unique musical qualities to the amplifier.

The Square Tube® provides all functions of amplification and control of the audio signal. Its output voltage is that which will be applied to the speaker outputs. Complementary power transistors, audio and hyper-linear will give the current required by the speakers, but without interfering in the amplification of the signal. Technicians call it “Impedance matching”. The power transistors can be seen as the output transformer.

But the Square Tube® / Transistors combination does not face the limitation usually associated with the usual output transformers:
- There are no phase shifts in the low frequencies,
- There are no phase shifts in the high frequencies,
- There is no bad coupling in the low frequencies and above all: no current limitation!

The combination of the high voltage capacitance of the Square Tube® and the high current of the output transistors gives you a very high definition power amplifier.
- The tubes give the smoothness, the transistors give the unre- strained energy.
- SquareTube® brings phase accuracy and will extract a wealth of unsuspected detail from your sources with natural dynamics.
- At last but not least, the amplifier is very stable, even with complex loads.
