The Shindo Laboratory Montille EL84 is an early model tube amplifier that uses EL84 output tubes, specifically Mullard EL84s. It delivers 15 watts per channel in Class A operation with a frequency response of 20Hz to 30kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 60dB. The amplifier has an input sensitivity of 1V and input impedance of 100KΩ via RCA pin jacks, with input level adjustment available for left and right channels. It consumes 80 watts of power and weighs 12.2 kg. The amplifier is housed in a compact chassis measuring 250mm wide, 160mm high, and 320mm deep. The Montille EL84 is known for its beautifully balanced and detailed sound with a full-bodied lower end and silky mids and treble. It is handmade with point-to-point wiring and includes the main body and power cable. This model has been discontinued and replaced by a 6V6 version, but it remains sought after for its unique Shindo sound and build quality.
