Earthquake Cinenova 7300 - Amplifier
The Earthquake Cinénova returns with the new Cinénova 7300. For years, audiophiles have been asking for an amplifier rivaling the Cinénova Grande in audio excellence,
but positioned in the 300 watt class. The Cinénova name represents the pinnacle of amplification regardless of price.
Traditionally, listeners assume that a reduction in power and cost will influence the quality of sound. With a constant demand for this amplifier,
Earthquake’s chief engineer Joseph Sahyoun descended into the Earthquake research laboratories determined to crack the code to the universe and design an amplifier
with no compromise in sound quality and competitively priced. Since its inception, the Cinénova design concept has been a tempered blend of traditional high-end virtues
combined with innovative and novel circuitry design. Produced using in-house proprietary manufacturing techniques, this tradition lives on in the new Cinénova 7300 with a
completely monaural design and enhanced class AB operation. The result is industry leading efficiency making the Cinénova 7300 a true green amplifier.
Several new technologies had to be created during the intense development process in order to miniaturize the Cinénova Grande reference design. Contrary to logical
thinking you cannot scale down an amplifier and expect it to perform the same just at a lower power level. Since real world customers don’t play gentle on small,
easy driven loudspeakers, high performance amplifiers have to be built and tested to the most rigorous standards. When lesser amplifiers are tested on low impedance,
highly reactive speakers, they quickly lose control of the speaker cone. This results in muddy and distorted sound.
Earthquake engineers put prototype after prototype through rigorous and exhaustive testing. The conclusion was that even at 300 watts, the industry standard of 2 to 4 output
transistors per channel simply was not sufficient to retain the taunt, punchy, and distinctive woofer control that the Cinénova name has become synonymous with.
The Cinénova 7300 employs 8 massive output transistors per channel ensuring that even the most demanding speakers are held in an iron grip and any soundtrack
is reproduced with dynamic precision and articulation. During the research process for the Cinénova 7300, three core technologies were developed to optimize
the amplifier and elevate its performance above its class.
