DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

Despite the fact that development is constantly moving in the direction of digital audio format and towards audio video systems with an increa- sing number of channels, high quality stereo systems still enjoy a large degree of popularity. Some users are put off by the installation of expen- sive multi-channel systems and enjoy viewing DVD films in stereo. Other music enthusiasts do not want to switch to a surround sound system becau- se that will never reach the sound quality of an equally prized High-End stereo system. Those who wish to combine both worlds - surround sound and premium stereo -, can often not avoid having two separate amplifiers and/or receivers, because many multi-channel systems focus on functionality rather than on uncompromised sound quality for all audio channels. If that is to be avoided and the speakers of an existing stereo system are also required to serve as front speakers for a surround sound system (so that a separate pair of front speakers does not need to be acquired), then both systems must be coupled together. For most setups that is not possible. Only if a stereo amplifier is used, which has the function for one of its inputs to act only as a power amplifier, and hence pro- vides no audio gain to this input, can the stereo system be employed as a user friendly part of a surround sound system.

The SV-234 is the most versatile integrated stereo amplifier from the Vincent range. It can serve both as an amplifier for high quality stereo sources and then, at the push of a button, it becomes a stereo output stage (for example for the front speakers of a home cinema system). A special feature of this equipment is the possibility to attach a stereo sour- ce with balanced audio connectors (XLR). Naturally, it all comes with the highest quality workmanship and an outstanding price perfor- mance ratio.

This integrated amplifier is an ideal partner for DVD players, CD players, tuners, headphone amplifiers and speakers from Vincent. It can also form part of a Vincent multi-channel system based on a decoder preamplifier or on an AV amplifier. In this role it supports the “Power Control” functi- on. Together with the HiFi furniture and speaker cables from the range, one can build a perfectly harmonious system.
