Don't judge it for its small size, the SA1 is made from super powerful hybrid-digital amps packing 40 ridiculously effective watts in each channel.
Translated from Hi-Fi jibberish to human, that just means this amp is ready for most speakers you could think of pairing it with. Our own passive ALTO-series speakers would be a great choice, but another other speaker will do just as well.
Do you know Bluetooth? Then you know how to use SA1. Just pair your phone, your tablet, or any other device, and you’re good to go.
There’s also inputs for your record player, your TV, or whatever you want to connect. If you decide to plug in your Sony or Samsung TV (and you should), the volume can be controlled with your standard IR-remote.
You’ve also got a pre-out port in case you want to use SA1 as a fully digital pre-amp. That one is for the enthusiasts. Us simple mortals can also use it to add a subwoofer.
Let’s be real for a second here. Amps can be quite daunting. Most often they’re huge metal boxes with some confusing text interface that’s impossible to decipher. Turn ‘em around and you stare into a thousand ports with each their own weird abbreviation slapped on top. SA1 is different. SA1 understands.
This small box packs only the stuff you need, nothing more. Connect your speakers, power it on, pair with Bluetooth, and you’re good to go.
"I was particularly impressed by how the upper-bass/lower-mid attacks from a snare drum for example came off quick, with gusto and no blur or reluctance. In my book, such a voicing in this class is far more practical than pseudo high-end analytical excess."

"SA1 is a true stereo amplifier with all the classic virtues with a few digital added on top. The sound is outstanding for the price and the looks are discreet."
Lyd og Billede
"SA1 is another proof that great hi-fi can be very affordable. The specifications and performance match integrated amplifiers that cost at least twice as much. An outright recommendation."
