Octave Super Blackbox

OCTAVE Super Black Box OCTAVE, with the Black Box technology, offers an instrument to optimize the OCTAVE amplifier in relation to the speaker. This flexibility is a unique feature of the OCTAVE brand. The dynamic and tonal stability of an amplifier is strongly dependent on the stability and capacity of the power supply; therefore, the Black Box and Super Black Box were developed as external upgrades to the OCTAVE amplifier's power supply storage capacitors by increasing their capacitance by a factor of 4 (Black Box) or 10 (Super Black Box), respectively. This is a tremendous benefit if the speaker is difficult to drive. Loudspeaker efficiency becomes less critical, while the amplifier is enabled to handle speakers with minimum impedances as low as 2 ohms. The increase in power supply capacitance achieved through the use of the Black Box or Super Black Box stabilizes current delivery and reduces the impedance interaction of the load. This improves dynamic range, separation, depth, soundstage size, and articulation, rendering the musical reproduction clearer throughout the entire frequency range. The amplifier remains unaffected by mains variations and interference due to the noise-filtering characteristics of the capacitors.
