Black Knight

We created Germanium solid state devices based S.A.Lab Black Knight integrated amplifier for true audio gourmets. Uncommon tube-like plasticity, deep expressiveness and heartfelt musicality fascinate from the very listening outset… Anyone who once listened to the amplifier is greatly impressed by its extraordinary sound…

Audiophiles are well-known of Germanium's outstanding virtues. At the same time the amplifier of this type are merely unique thing in Hi-Fi/High End. Push-pull Class AB integrated S.A.Lab Black Knight contains meticulously selected Germanium devices produced in USSR.

150 W S.A.Lab Black Knight Integrated replaced the previous 50 W version of our Teuton. The amplifier operates in Class A up to 30 W. Created from the scratch absolutely new Black Knight has no negative feedback.

Black Knight is sheer dual mono design with complete separating of both signal, power supplying and grounding paths. Comparing the former unit our Knight has got new power supply with considerably more powerful toroidal transformers and more capacitive filtering caps.

As before we placed special emphasis on Germanium 1T813 output stage thermo and current stability which are monitored by sensors and huge heat sinks identical to those of previous Black Knight; there is no active cooling.

Input selecting and volume control are relay switching. The amplifier has 5 line inputs (4 х RCA, XLR), Bypass input, line output (XLR), Headphone outputs (RCA, XLR) and four pairs of S.A.Lab designed and produced pure silver speaker terminals for bi-wiring/amping.

S.A.Lab derived Black Knight colour options from Ferrari car line. Amplifiers are painted in Moscow Ferrari dealer's office.
