Thank you for purchasing this Cinénova Grande reference amplifier designed to satisfy your audiophile needs for music enjoyment. The Cinénova Grande is conceived to reproduce “true to life” music as it was originally recorded, without tempering, coloration or compression.
Like the finer things in life, the Cinénova Grande was conceived with love for details, hunger for power, and respect for grace. The Cinénova Grande enjoys the solitude of being the most powerful multichannel amplifier on the planet.
Most home theater systems sold to consumers integrate low power amplifier / receiver units, normally not exceeding 150 Watts per channel. However, professional theater systems employ individual components which provide the best separation and potentially a lot more power. Audiophiles know that an audio amplifier is the heart of any system; it must be able to meet the demands of the softest musical passage to the thundering special effects of a movie, without sacrificing audio quality.
The Cinénova Grande’s untainted sonic quality is only matched by its enormous power and stringent technical performance. The finesse of high-fidelity audio, combined with the mastery of multi-channel amplification make the Cinénova Grande the cornerstone for a high-end home theater setup. This amplifier caters to both the music aficionado and the home cinema buff. After all, faithful reproduction of music is our business.
The unique Cinénova technology integrates a minimum number of components in the audio path, leading to excellence in sound quality, efficiency, and clean amplification. Working side by side with engineers from Toshiba, our engineers helped develop one of the fastest transistors in the industry, a 15 Giga-Hertz switcher. Fast, accurate, and powerful, the 15 GHz switcher allowed engineers to use a smaller number of components in the audio path and reduce the need for high bias current, making the Cinénova amplifiers industry-leading in power efficiency. They are truly green amplifiers that do not sacrifice quality. Users are able to enjoy pure music, untainted by components distortion or guilt from a large carbon footprint.
Earthquake Engineers, driven by their desire for excellence, pushed the envelope beyond its limits. They designed the “bi-file” Ferrite/OFC toroidal transformer circuit witch allows five or seven separate power supplies (one for each channel) to be magnetically coupled to one huge single primary 4KVA transformer. The 99% efficient power supply permits large amount of current to flow through.
The “Alpha One” is a monaural 1000 watt amplification/power block, used in both the 5-channel and 7-channel Cinénova Grande amplifiers. The “Alpha One” blocks are individually removable using the Earthquake patented “EZXS” system, without the need to dismantle the rest of the amplifier. Channel separation exceeds the norm of 90 decibels and stretches it to 110 decibels.
“Sounding good” and “looking good” are both integral characteristics of a Cinénova amplifier. The elegant industrial design is only surpassed by the sturdy chassis upon which the amplifier is built. 12 gauge steel is shaped to house the “Alpha One” modules and transformer. The chassis is beautifully faced with an 8 mm aluminum plate, hand engraved and available in both Black and Platinum finish.
Your Cinénova 7
Thank you for purchasing this Cinénova 7 state of the art multi-channel amplifier. This amplifier is designed to surpass your expectations and satisfy your audiophile needs for music and movie enjoyment. The Cinénova 7 is conceived to reproduce “true to life” music as it was originally recorded, without tempering, coloration or compression. Created in the image of its larger brethren, the Cinénova 7 is an uncompromising design built upon massively over-specified components. Using power dense transformers exceeding 2800 VA and completely self-contained output blocks, the Cinénova is a septo monaural amplifier. Completely separate output blocks are largely unheard of in this class of amplifier, but with Earthquake’s enduring strive for quality and excellence there simply was no other way. Designs that share a common motherboard inherently lack the fidelity of true separate designs. The Cinénova 7 is ready to take on even the heaviest of speaker and hold it in an iron grip. Large vertically-ripped individual heat sinks efficiently release heat and ensure that your show goes on no matter the intensity. From the loudest crescendo to the finest syllable, the Cinénova will remain composed and in control. Enjoy the unique ownership experience of this Cinénova that was designed by a brilliant mind and built with loving hands.
Constructing a Cinénova is a fun process. From hand assembling, calibrating, burn testing, and packaging, every step is conducted with love for details and hunger for perfection. We enjoyed building your Cinénova and we know you will feel the same using it.
From our hands to your ears... Thank you.
