Class-D is commonly misunderstood to signify a Digital amplifier. It’s actually just the 4th letter of amplifier types: Class A, AB and C. What it really means is the fastest, simplest and most efficient way to convert electrical power into music. Our class-D amplifier architecture uses sophisticated class-A analog control circuitry to achieve low distortion and high dynamic range coupled with the eco-modern efficiency of our class-D output stage.

Every amplifier design has strengths and weaknesses. For years most enthusiasts didn’t think twice about spinning the electric meter with massive class-A and class-AB amps with ringing heat sinks. Times have changed: Green, low-heat, ultra-efficient switch-mode power supplies and switching output stages make possible Bel Canto’s eco-friendly compact designs; place two Bel Canto products in the space formerly occupied by a large, hot-running, inefficient class-A design! We’re just saying...
