MAHI MONOBLOCK POWER AMPLIFIER
Discover the exceptional sound quality of the MAHI Monoblock Power Amplifier, designed to bring out the best in your audio system. With its nimble and lively performance, the MAHI delivers 20 Watts in TRIODE mode and 40 Watts in Ultra-Linear mode, thanks to custom transformers engineered and wound at Manley Labs. The Variable Feedback switch provides a range of sonic options, from sweet and seductive to powerful and rockin’. Sold in pairs, the MAHI Monoblocks are a testament to Manley Labs' dedication to superior audio engineering.
Key Features:
- Powerful Performance: Produces 40 watts RMS in Ultra-Linear mode or 20 watts in TRIODE mode using EL84 tubes.
- Custom Transformers: Manley Output transformers engineered and wound in-house ensure top-tier sound quality.
- Variable Feedback: Adjust the feedback to tailor the sound to your preferences, with settings for minimal, standard, and maximum feedback.
- Durable Construction: Designed for long-lasting performance with reliable, high-quality components.
Design and Evolution:
The MAHI Monoblocks are a culmination of over a decade of EL84 amplifier development at Manley Labs. The EL84 tubes are favored for their quick-sounding response in both the bass and top end, akin to their larger sibling, the EL34. These amplifiers draw on the design refinements introduced in the acclaimed Manley Stingray and Snappers, incorporating enhanced circuitry and increased B+ rail capacity for superior bass performance.
