Speaker Output: 4 WBT copper speaker binding posts.

Inputs: 4 single-ended Cardas RCA stereo, 1 balanced input using two 3-pin XLRs.

The Z40 Integrated comes equipped with two headphone output jacks: a high output for less sensitive headphones and low output for very sensitive headphones.ĭelivering much higher power than solid-state amps with the same power rating, the Z40 Integrated tube amplifier can drive your 85db and above sensitivity speakers to thundering levels with headroom to spare. Providing everything you need except speakers and a source, in a sleek new case, the Z40 Integrated is designed to last a lifetime. The amplifier is wrapped in our new control system featuring: 5 inputs (including one XLR input for balanced sources), tape in and out, LED display and input indicators, home theater mode, and remote-controlled stepped attenuation using premium Vishay Dale resistors. With the addition of a preamplifier borrowed from Berning’s $30K product, the existing ZOTL circuitry cross-couples to a gain stage, and matches perfectly with the power amplifier.

The heart of the Z40 Integrated is the highly-acclaimed ZOTL40 Reference power amplifier. The brass touch buttons, headphone outputs, easy-to-read, configurable display, and machined aluminum front and rear panels, exude the high-quality manufacturing of handmade products in the USA. With startling realism, plentiful bass, low noise, and gorgeous mids and highs – the Z40 Integrated amplifier is the perfect package. The Z40 Integrated amplifier offers all the benefits of the output transformer-less ZOTL technology : three times the tube life and one-third the heat. Its aim is to deliver the richness of tubes and the resolve and speed of solid state amplification. His patented output transformerless ZOTL technology is at the heart of every LTA amplifier. David Berning, who is known for many of his high-end amplifier designs, reviewed the initial designs at LTA. The last stage of the audio path before hitting your speakers.īut what if you could remove the output transformer? That is the philosophy that the Linear Tube Audio Z40 Integrated embraces.

It is thought that the culprit of this “signature” is the output transformer. This is why many audiophiles spend years in search of the best amplifiers for their loudspeakers. But it’s being driven with a different character. With various amplifiers, you could still hear the character of your speaker. The amplifier has great power (no pun intended) and responsibility. Liquidfying and smoothing the sound but at the same time all the beautiful textures.

And I’ve also heard amps that imposed a signature that provided an easier listening experience. This includes masking dynamics and details. Resulting in the stereo sounding the same no matter what you had in front of it. I’ve heard amplifiers that would completely “override” the benefits of having better source equipment. Being placed only before your speakers and cables, it has the power to dramatically alter what you hear. Undoubtedly, your amplifier could be a major decider of the sound of your entire system.
