Los Angeles, Calif. Nov.1st, 2021— AGD Productions, Inc., a leader in Hi-End Audio electronic design, introduced today the AGD “TEMPO”, its first reference stereo amplifier.
The AGD “TEMPO” is rated 200W+200W/4ohm, 100W+100W/8ohm, and it is based on AGD’s new proprietary modular platform, 100% based on Gallium Nitride MOSFETs, specifically optimized for CLASS-D Audio applications.
Like all AGD amps, the GaN-based power stage module is utilized in the AGD “TEMPO” and is fully upgradable to enable future improvement of the technology, maintaining and preserving the value of the product over time. The AGD TEMPO has single ended and balanced inputs, remote trigger input and can also operate in bridge-mode, delivering in this configuration twice the nominal output power on 4ohm (single channel). The AGD TEMPO is housed in a single billet CNC-machined cabinet that delivers the best solidity and compactness for audiophiles that are looking to get the superior sound, the most advanced technology on the market today, and to “down-size” the footprint of regular amps at the same time. The AGD TEMPO is available in Silver, Black and mirror-polished finishing (the latter custom order only).
To achieve these performances in such compact CNC machined cabinet, we have designed a new GaN based output power stage and a new mother board.
The AGD “TEMPO” is our first stereo amplifier of our AGD GaN based power amplifiers family. An industry first to use the new GaN-Power modular design, the AGD amplifiers are possibly the most technologically advanced amplifiers available on the market today.” said Alberto Guerra, CEO at AGD Productions, Inc.
Thanks to a world-class design, optimized layout, a refined selection of top-quality audio grade components, and the extremely efficient GaN-based power stage, we achieved the design’s goal to operate these amps output stages at >600kHz of PWM frequency.
The high PWM frequency operation delivers a direct and positive impact on the overall outstanding sonic and musical performances with a sublime mid-high range realism along with the unique tight and perfectly controlled bass register.
The AGD “TEMPO” is rated 200W+200W on 4Ohm, 100+100W on 8Ohm and capable of an outstanding 30A max peak output current.” added Alberto.
The Gallium Nitride power MOSFET used in the GaN-Power module, can efficiently switch at much higher frequency and slew rates than any of its silicon-based counterparts, and can deliver the most sublime sound thanks to their ideal “by the book” oscillations-free switching capabilities. These new advanced components are the key to the power capabilities and the reference musical performance of all the AGD amplifier designs.
