With a low distortion level, the Telos 1800 achieves a THD+N of less than 0.05% at 30 Vrms output, it has a gain of 35 dB, a dynamic range of 110 dB, and a damping factor of 600 at 1 kHz on 8 Ω.
JEWELRY BOX AESTHETICS
Goldmund tells us that theTelos 1800 Mono Power Amplifier has been designed as a jewelry box. It is available in Goldmund traditional silver grey, and, customers can personalize their Telos 1800 with two options for the top left front ring: either gold or silver grey.
SUBSTANTIAL CASEWORK
Like other recent products from Goldmund, the Goldmund Telos 1800 Mono Power Amplifier has an upgraded, thicker panel structure, with a 12mm profile (previously 6-8mm). These enhancements rigidify the amplifier enclosure, improving Telos 1800’s mechanical grounding and vibration dispersion capabilities.
