The Balanced Audio Technology (BAT) VK-225SE is a high-end, fully balanced solid-state stereo power amplifier introduced alongside the standard VK-225 around 2015. It uses BAT’s symmetrical discrete bipolar-transistor output-stage architecture, operates with zero global negative feedback, and adds the company’s SUPER-PAK power-supply implementation, providing substantially increased energy-storage capacity relative to the standard VK-225. It is rated at 150 W per channel into 8 ohms and 300 W per channel into 4 ohms in stereo operation; factory mono configuration is rated at 200 W into 8 ohms or 400 W into 4 ohms. The chassis provides balanced XLR inputs, 12 V trigger input/output, and is available in black or silver/black finishes. The VK-225SE has been superseded by later BAT models and is no longer listed in BAT’s current product-resource lineup, so it should be regarded as discontinued.
