Get more depth with mono amplification
Ambitious work pursuing beautiful mirror finish appearance and highest sound quality
In the Astro Electronics Project, we have revamped the lineup of all advanced grade amplifiers to mono specifications. By making the stereo amplifier mono amplifier, you can get higher output power and deep sound. Especially effective for improving acoustic performance when driving high-load speakers. When the sound field lacks balance during stereo playback due to acoustics and speaker placement in the room, by integrating the output of both channels by mono, by obtaining a uniform and stable sound field,Improved audio synmetry.
Also,Compared to stereo amplifiers, which have a full-size weight, one unit weighs less than half (compared to the company), so it is very easy to handle such as installation is a point that can not be missed. AST-KT88MVIP is a model that is narrower than MVIPSP.

Beautifully mirrored1.6mm thick high quality stainless steel chassis and parts mounting medium steelClear FinishThe robust structure of 1.5mm thick anoxic copper prevents resonance from inside and outside, contributing to high sound quality with high transparency without noise.
Transformers adopt original transformers that pursue sound quality without compromise while keeping prices low. High-grade gold plated terminals are used for input and speaker output terminals.
For self-bias capacitors, AST-KT88MVIP uses 4000 micro-digits and different capacitors for those with 200-400 micro capacitors used by general manufacturers. This results in sound quality equivalent to fixed bias while being self-biased. Replace compatible vacuum tubes such as various KT88 and KT120 manufactured by vacuum tubes manufacturers around the world without hesitation to bring out best performance.
By using UL connections, the output power is increased and the sound transparency and resolution are improved. The volume can be controlled accurately by adopting a clicking 31-point attenuator.
