Telos 1000

Telos 1000 - Power Amplifier

The Telos 1000 is the best seller of the Telos line. It owes its success to the fact that it has been designed with the most advanced technologies developed by Goldmund for the Telos 5000 and Telos 2500 amplifiers. Just like them, the Telos 1000 is characterized by an impressive absence of harmonic and intermodulation distortions.

Its integrated Alize 6 converter allows a perfect fit with Goldmund universal preamplifiers such as the Mimesis 16, Mimesis 16HD or Mimesis 32.

The Telos 1000 also features a new ultra-low impedance power supply technology (from the Telos 5000) for a better speaker control, especially at low frequencies. The result is a sound that is incredibly powerful and extremely clear.

The thermal grounding full implementation (the large gold-plated copper buffer plate at the back of the unit) in the Telos 1000 has two noticeably significant effects on the sound: better dynamic and lower coloration. This result is even more reinforced by the mechanical grounding of the unit that eliminates all spurious vibrations.

The Telos 1000, like the other amplifiers of the Telos line, incorporates a parallel fault sensing circuit that clamps its output in a matter of nanoseconds, protecting the amplifier itself and its associated speakers.
