About the Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium
The Orchard Audio Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium is a high-power, fully balanced Class-D monoblock power amplifier using Orchard Audio’s proprietary gallium-nitride (GaN/GaNFET) switching technology. It is designed to power one loudspeaker channel; a stereo system requires two units. The amplifier switches at approximately 800 kHz, uses a high-capacity power supply, and is engineered for very low noise and distortion, high efficiency, and stable operation with demanding speaker loads. Available published information describes the standard Mono Ultra Premium as an active/current product rather than discontinued. Note that Orchard Audio also lists a distinct Mono Ultra Premium LPS/limited-edition variant with a larger linear power supply; the specifications below refer to the standard Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium requested here.
