Impulse Monobloc

About the Impulse Monobloc

The Tidal Audio Impulse Monobloc is a high-end dual mono reference power amplifier featuring fully autarkic working mono amplification stages and a regulated active power supply with two 800VA non-noise toroidal transformers that are magnetically shielded and mechanically decoupled. It delivers rated continuous RMS power of 190 watts into 8 ohms, 360 watts into 4 ohms, and 680 watts into 2 ohms, with more than 700 watts at loads below 2 ohms. The amplifier offers a bandwidth of 1Hz to 400kHz (-3 dB), ensuring a wider frequency response than the highest resolution sources. It is designed to provide pure amplification of the musical signal without adding any sonic color or concealing details, resulting in a natural, transparent, and neutral sound signature. The unit includes an intelligent soft-start system and remote power on/off capability via RJ45 Ethernet cable. Dimensions are approximately 44 cm x 25 cm x 40 cm (W x H x D), and it consumes less than 1 watt in standby mode. The design emphasizes low distortion, ideal damping factor, and a ripple-free linear voltage power supply for stable operation and lifelike music reproduction. The amplifier is highly regarded for its effortless dynamics, transparency, and ability to drive demanding loudspeakers with ease.
