Thanks to the fully differential design, SNAPPER can can be driven either via its balanced XLR inputs or unbalanced RCAs with equally impressive results and without sacrificing any performance or detail along the way. SNAPPER’s XLR inputs may be particularly desirable for users with balanced preamps, since taking full advantage of the preamp’s balanced outputs requires no balancing input circuitry or input transformers.
At the heart of each SNAPPER power amplifier is a quartet of pristine EL34 tubes, running in a fully differential circuit topology alongside a Manley Labs hand-wound output transformer boasting no fewer than 19 sections.
SNAPPER comfortably delivers 100W at 10 cycles across the amplifier’s full frequency range, even achieving up to 110W between 15Hz and 40kHz.
