Quad Artera Mono – High-Powered Monoblock Amplifier with Exceptional Fidelity

The Quad Artera Mono is a powerful monoblock power amplifier and the latest addition to Quad’s renowned Artera series. Designed with the best elements from previous generations, this model incorporates high-quality internal components and advanced multi-layer circuit boards. Staying true to Quad’s signature sound, the Artera Mono delivers enhanced clarity and definition, ensuring an optimal musical experience—even with lower-quality recordings.

Advanced Current Dumping Technology

At the heart of the Artera Mono lies Quad’s innovative current dumping technology, a patented design originally developed by Quad founder Peter Walker. This system utilizes a precision class AB amplifier for signal detailing while a powerful current dumping section drives the speakers with complete control. This design eliminates common issues such as crossover distortion, thermal drift, and transistor matching, removing the need for complex internal calibration or specialized component selection.

Optimal Signal Purity with OCC Wiring

Quad’s philosophy that an amplifier should act as “a straight wire with gain” is realized in the Artera Mono through the use of OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) wiring in the output stage. This advanced manufacturing process virtually eliminates impurities and interruptions in the copper or silver conductors, resulting in ultra-pure signal transmission. Compared to standard OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper), OCC has significantly fewer grain boundaries, allowing for an uncolored and highly detailed audio reproduction.

Powerful Performance and Reliability

Delivering 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms, the Artera Mono provides ample power to drive even the most demanding loudspeakers effortlessly. The amplifier is built with direct overload protection, preventing overheating and overdrive without the need for relays or additional protection circuits. This ensures stable and reliable performance without compromising sound quality.

Elegant and Functional Design

The Artera Mono’s chassis features a sleek, modern design available in both silver and black finishes. Its robust construction minimizes external vibrations and electromagnetic interference. The design includes a stylish aluminum front panel, an elegant glass top, and precisely machined side-mounted heat sinks that efficiently dissipate heat.
