QUAD Artera Stereo Power Amplifier

From the transformer to the input terminals, each section of the Artera has been engineered from the ground up to ensure power, musicality, and stability.

QUAD Artera Stereo Power Amplifier produces 140 Watts RMS per channel ample power for driving first-class loudspeakers, unfaltering even under high dynamic and transient conditions thanks to Quad’s patented Current Dumping technology. Special attention has also been paid to the newly developed balanced XLR inputs.

The robust connections are yet another string to the QUAD Artera Stereo Power Amplifier bow, with an incomparable signal-to-noise ratio.

Quad has crafted a new Power Amp – QUAD Artera Stereo Power Amplifier – which refines and updates Quad’s famous Current Dumping technology to create a modern power amp for the 21st century.

With rugged heat sinks on either side, combined with a beautiful aluminum facia, Artera is a modern statement piece for your living room, with a nod to Quad’s hi-fi heritage.

A Modern Amplifier With A Nod To The Past: Creating an experience for the modern living room has been the primary focus of the Artera Series. However, it wouldn’t be Quad without referencing a heritage of manufacturing audio equipment since 1936.

The famous Quad 405, although not Quad’s first solid-state amplifier, was a game-changer and the first to demonstrate the patented ‘current dumping’ technology, which is also the basis of the fully updated drive technology of Artera Stereo.

The technology results in an amplifier with Class A sound quality and yet with a huge and fully stable power output.
