| INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES
SMALL AND POWERFUL
The PA-10 is the new Power Amplifier of
the series 10, packing plenty of innovative
solutions, developed for high-power
delivery and compact size, the perfect
match for a modern High-End System that
offers the Gold Note signature power and
sound quality. The PA-10 is a fully balanced
amplifier featuring a BTL design (Bridge-
Tied-Load) which allows the unit to easily
switch from Stereo to Mono, increasing the
power rate from 75Watt per channel @ 8Ω
stereo to a considerable 600Watt @ 4Ω
mono. Use two PA-10 and the performance
of your stereo system will increase
noticeably. Audio-grade components, RCA
and XLR connectors, gold-plated speaker
terminals and high-quality circuitry ensure
outstanding sound.
ADJUSTABLE DAMPING FACTOR
The PA-10 features a unique adjustable
Damping Factor design that allows you to
drive any loudspeakers optimally - including
large and challenging speakers (DF High) or
high sensitivity and mini-monitor speakers
(DF Low).
DESIGN AND MATERIALS
The solid steel chassis is made of massive
panels of aluminium to avoid RFI and EMI
and for maximum shielding, following
the design principle of the Series 10 to
seamlessly integrate the PA-10 into our
coherent philosophy inspired by the Italian
tradition.
GN LINK
Our proprietary GN Link technology enables
the PA-10 to work in Master-Slave mode
with other Gold Note sources, such as the
DS-10, turning On/Off the amplifier together
with the master unit. The Master-Slave mode
is a convenient way to enjoy your music
controlling the entire audio chain from one
source only.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
MX-10 card: this card allows the
simultaneous use of the RCA and XLR inputs.
With this card, you don’t have to select
the RCA/XLR input on the rear panel (BAL
switcher), and you can even play music from
two sources at the same time and use the
PA-10 as an analogue mixer.
