The new eAR Power amplifier will open your eARs to a whole new sound experience. It is the first True High-End Audio Stand-Alone Power Amplifier in the world with ICEpower®. The technology is groundbreaking and unique. The eAR Power amplifier has been recognized to carry the ICEpower® logo, which is a seal of approval and a stamp of quality. ICEpower® is the World Leader in Pulse Modulated Amplification.

What are the differences compared to all other amplifiers?
Pulse Modulation Amplifiers are also called Digital amplifiers and Switching Amplifiers, because digital pulses are controlling the power conversion, instead of an analogue signal. Compared to all other known amplifiers, the eAR power amplifiers gives nearly endless figures of benefits.

We will just mention a few benefits:

Excellent sound quality
Compared to all other switching or digital amplifiers, the eAR amplifier doesn't have a single touch of 'digital' sound, but the sound is very much natural analogue with great details and will give your speakers a tight and extremely fast bass; a detailed soundstage that you have never heard before, and a extreme dynamic sound. According High-End reviewers: Best sounding amplifier of all amplifiers. Excellent sound quality means that the eAR amplifiers are truly capable of audiophile-grade audio performance, as has been demonstrated in comparative listening A/B tests against several high-end audiophile amplifiers.

Low power consumption
As the eAR Amplifier output stage has an efficiency of 93% and it never runs hot. Let us put it in this way: The eAR Amplifier power conversation is the most precise way to perform high efficient amplification. The eAR amplifier is using a technology, which is far better and much more precise than any other technology ever will be able to perform. The unit need only a relatively small power supply. The outcome of this fact is a very strong reduction in cooling, transformer, even that the power supply compared to "normal" amplifiers are complete oversized. The power consumption of a "normal" high-end amplifier could easily exceed 200 watt in stand-by, with no music played! On eAR the power consumption will not exceed 20 watt! The benefit is a lot lower electricity bill.

Based on ICEpower® technology.
ICEpower® is the industry standard for Switching Amplifiers, used by Jeff Rowland (High-End power amplifiers), Sony (consumer subwoofers), Bang & Olufsen (active loudspeakers), Sanyo (consumer power amplifiers), Philips (professional systems), just to mention a few. With its build-in propriety feed-back system, the sound quality is in no way comparable with existing switching amplifiers. The benefit is in short: Reliability, stability and of course the highest possible sound quality. As it is being used all over the World, it is your safety for proved technology, that just works.

(Acoustic Reality from Denmark was the first company in the world to introduce a seperate power amplifier with the ICEpower technology to the High-End market. Today Acoustic Reality and the Jeff Rowland design group from USA are the only companies, that are manufacturing seperate High-End power amplifiers with power ratings up to 300Watt into 8ohm's load with the ICEpower technology.)

Compact design
Since the amplifier unit is very, very small, but from a power rating point of view a monster, the signal path in total is extremely short. Even the fact that the amplifier is very compact, the eAR Two is possible to deliver up 2 x 600 watt. That gives you enough power for even the hardest speaker load, and the highest volume setting, and caused by the compact design without sacrificing the hole-through feeling in sound. As the amplifier only measures 38 x 28 x 12 cm it is small, caused by the fact that no cooling or huge power supplies is necessary. The benefit is a very compact unit.. Try to compare with the best known High-End amplifiers from Mark Levinson and Krell. They are very big, in most cases app. 45 x 30 x 70 cm or more, and has a weight on at least 150 lbs. And bigger and more weighty is not necessary the same as "better".
The eAR power amplifier does not contain any chip to do the modulation, but the eAR power amplifier is build up with active and passive high quality components.

No power supply noise
Extremely high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). The advantage is, compared to other digital amplifiers on the market means, that noise from the net supply will be muted with at least 60 dB. Power supply noise is therefore no longer an issue. The benefit is a more stable soundstage, more delicate sound, and much more relaxed performance of strings - just to mention a few. The power amplifier by it self is totally quiet, as there is no cooling fan or other cooling devices normally implemented in huge amplifier designs, just to prevent them for running to hot…..

No cross-over distortion
As the amplifier do not have any problems concerning extremely bad sounding cross-over distortion, which all other analog amplifiers has, the rating for the distortion is very, very low. And in fact it is not depending on listening level. The benefit is, that you will always have clean and very dynamic sound, the result of a THD+N on typical 0.006%. Indeed very low.

No InterModulation distortion
Intermodulation distortion is when two or more different input frequencies interact to produce additional frequencies in the output. Compared to for example Solid State or Tube amplifiers the InterModulation Distortion of the eAR power amplifiers is the lowest you have ever heard. The benefit is an amplifier which is able to produce very complex music with the finest details, even on very low volume levels... on all volume levels.

Quiet amplifier
The noise level of the amplifier is very low. In fact the dynamic range (A-weighted) on typical 117dB. The benefit is an amplifier, which is almost totally free from noise on all volume levels, even when the amplifier is playing on very small volume levels.

The fastest trancients
Because the eAR power amplifiers are using ICEpower® technology it able to produce the fastest trancients of all power amplifiers (the eAR power amplifiers have very low harmonic distortion and is almost without InterModulation distortion). The benefit is an amplifier which is able to produce very fast and dynamic music. Indeed, on all volume levels.
