The A-220 is a  two channel power amplifier, inspired by Carver's renowned Lightstar technology. The amplifier is based on the premise that its only job is to amplify the audio signal without making any alterations or adding any coloration to the sound. It accomplishes this through Total Direct Coupling, a Carver innovation that eliminates the need for distortion-causing inductors on which typical amplifier must rely to stabilize the amplifier-speaker interface. By eliminating these devices, the A-220 achieves a high damping factor at all frequencies, providing excellent low and high frequency sonic performance simultaneously. Once the domain of the most costly esoteric amplifier designs, this kind of audio technology in the A-220's price range is nothing less than an audio breakthrough, placing it squarely in the Carver tradition.

Total Direct Coupling for high damping factor at all frequencies

Each channel protected by: individual fusing, excess temperature sense, DC fault sense, power-on delay, shorted load sense.

Minimal signal path design

Precision passive components used in all critical signal paths  (no electrolytic capacitors in signal path)

Fully complimentary differential circuitry using low-noise, high speed transistors throughout

DC servo correction

Double Stage ground isolation system prevents ground loops and RF interference

Triple Diffused planar high current output devices

Gold Plated RCA Jack Connections

Dual analog lighted meters with range selection switch

Meter light On/Off switch

Individual calibrated level trim controls for each channel

Removable handles for 17" cabinet space (with trim caps)

Designed and built in Woodinville, Washington, USA

These have been used for many family gatherings and work great. Being sold as is with no returns do to people parts swapping. 

Will be professionally packaged and insured
