Audio Wave Excel Series
Audio Wave starts where others’ top-tier offerings end.
Plexiglass Top
The Audio Wave Excel amplifier features a sleek plexiglass top designed specifically to showcase the exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail that goes into each unit. This transparent cover allows users to appreciate the intricate internal components and precision engineering that define Audio Wave amplifiers. It's not just about aesthetics; it’s a statement of quality, giving users a glimpse into the high standards of construction and the superior technology that powers their unparalleled audio experience.
Custom Coils for Superior Precision
Audio Wave takes a unique approach to coil design by using custom-made coil wire and hand-winding every coil to exact specifications. This meticulous process ensures that each coil perfectly matches the circuit it’s used in, optimizing performance and eliminating the compromises associated with off-the-shelf components. The result is enhanced accuracy and reliability in the amplifier’s performance, contributing to the overall superior sound quality that Audio Wave is known for.
Power Supply Capacitors
After two years of rigorous development, Grant Hanan, the owner and designer of Audio Wave, concluded that no commercially available capacitor met the stringent requirements for his amplifiers. To address this, he designed and produced a custom Audio Wave capacitor tailored to his exact specifications and tolerances. This bespoke component is integral to achieving the precise audio performance that defines the Audio Wave Excel amplifier, ensuring superior power stability and sound quality that off-the-shelf components could not deliver.
Nichicon Gold Tune Capacitors
The Audio Wave Excel amplifier features Nichicon Gold Tune capacitors on its OP Amp boards, selected for their high-end audio performance. These capacitors are known for their exceptional sound quality, low distortion, and excellent reliability. By using Nichicon Gold Tune caps, Audio Wave ensures that the amplifier delivers a clean, precise audio signal, enhancing the overall sound experience and maintaining the integrity of the audio reproduction. This choice reflects the brand’s commitment to using only the finest design components.
Board Design
The Audio Wave Excel amplifier features a split RCA board design that strategically separates the RCA inputs on either side of the board. This layout is meticulously engineered to enhance stereo separation, ensuring that each audio signal channel is isolated and preserved. By maximizing stereo separation, the amplifier delivers a more accurate and immersive sound experience, allowing for precise audio imaging and depth crucial for high-fidelity listening. This design choice reflects Audio Wave's commitment to achieving superior sound quality.
Power & Speaker Connections
At the Audio Wave facility, every power and speaker connector is crafted precisely. Each connector is meticulously milled to exact tolerances to ensure a perfect fit, and then 24k gold plated in-house. This process not only enhances the durability of the connectors but also ensures superior electrical conductivity, minimizing signal loss and providing the best possible connection for your audio system. This attention to detail underscores Audio Wave’s commitment to delivering exceptional audio performance through high-quality, handcrafted components.
Independent OP Amp and Gain Pot
The Audio Wave Excel amplifier features a dedicated OP Amp and gain potentiometer for each left and right channel. This design ensures precise control and balance for each channel, allowing for optimal stereo separation and fine-tuned audio performance. By isolating the amplification and gain control for each channel, Audio Wave delivers an exceptionally clear and detailed soundstage, ensuring that the integrity of the stereo signal is preserved. This meticulous approach enhances the listening experience, providing a more accurate and immersive sound.
Proprietary Cooling System
The Audio Wave Excel amplifier utilizes a proprietary cooling system that combines an aluminum mount for the output devices with an in-house milled heat sink. This design ensures efficient heat dissipation, allowing the amplifier to operate at optimal temperatures without noisy fans. This innovative approach maintains the amplifier's performance and longevity and ensures a silent operation, which is crucial for maintaining a pristine audio environment. This cooling solution is a testament to Audio Wave's dedication to performance and precision engineering.
