The Schiit Audio Gjallarhorn F is a fully discrete, fully complementary Class AB linear power amplifier featuring Continuity S output stage and current feedback topology with no capacitors in the signal path. It delivers low distortion, high SNR, and exceptional performance for desktop/near-field speakers or as monoblocks for larger setups. Made in USA, it prioritizes audio quality over high power, with modular use via balanced XLR input for mono operation. Protection includes over-current and over-temperature sensors. Power supply uses 80VA transformer and 30,000uF capacitance with dual rails (+/-15V unregulated for output, +/-20V regulated for input/driver stages).
