SATRI circuit and non-feedback MOS-FET configuration. Plays all music information even at low volumes
The CAP series was born to produce a high-quality music life with a size that fits just right in a narrow space. The CAP-1001 is designed to reproduce all music information even at low volumes in studio or near-field spaces where you are concerned about your neighbors.Bakoon ProductsWe have generously incorporated our proud SATRI circuit technology.
Powerful drive by non-feedback MOS-FET
- Circuit configuration: AThe amplifier section consists of a current mode amplification non-feedback voltage amplifier circuit and a complementary MOS-FET push-pull output stage that drives the speaker.
- Inserting the SATRI circuit: While a typical amplifier has a configuration with negative feedback/about 50mA, the CAP-1001 uses a powerful newly developed SATRI circuit with no feedback/150-200mA.
- Extra driving power: The maximum output is set at 6W, but with this configuration, it has the ability to easily drive not only near-field speakers but also large speakers.
- High-Fidelity: less noiseHigh-FidelityYou can enjoy the sound, and it is one of the best guitar amps that famous musicians accompany them to overseas performances.
Optimal output and high-quality volume for near-field use
- Perfect for nearfield: The maximum output is set to 6W based on the calculation that 1W to 3W is sufficient for speakers with a distance of 1m to 3m and an efficiency of 80dB to 90dB.
- Low volume playback without noise: The gain control (volume) is a variable resistor, and is designed to reduce the amplifier's gain as you turn down the volume. This ensures that there is no noise even when the volume is low.High-FidelityYou can enjoy it.
- Direct connection possible: Since it has gain control, you can enjoy music by connecting a CD player or DAC directly without going through a preamp.
Rich Connectivity and Headphone Function
- Two Input Systems: It has two input systems: RCA terminals on the rear and a phone jack on the front panel.
- Mobile Connection: You can connect mobile players or smartphones to the front phone jack. Immediately after returning home, you can connect and fully enjoy high-quality hi-res music.
- Headphone Amplifier Function: It also has a headphone jack, allowing it to be used as a headphone amplifier. When using headphones, the volume from the speakers is set to be lower.
The CAP-1001 is a power amplifier and requires DC 24V, but if you use a 24V battery, it can be used outdoors. When using a battery, it delivers optimal performance without being affected by noise.

Driving Force Beyond Its Small, Lightweight Size
The CAP-1001 is a compact power amplifier nearly the size of the palm of your hand, yet the playback sound is powerful and drives speakers firmly. It delivers a volume greater than its 6W/ch (8Ω) rating, and speakers with around 90dB efficiency have more than enough capacity for daily listening. Issues often found in low-power amplifiers, such as thin or overly bright sound, are minimal, and the low range has a solid, energetic feel.
It provides the speed and transparency characteristic of SATRI circuitry.
As expected from a current transmission amplifier using the SATRI circuit, the sound rises quickly and the response is extremely agile. The background is quiet, the S/N ratio stands out, and weak sounds and lingering sounds are reproduced without being buried. The tone is clear and transparent throughout. It depicts the entire music in an orderly manner without emphasizing any particular band.
Clarity and localization of sound image
The sound image is sharp and the localization is stable. There is good left and right separation, the vocals stand straight in the center, and the relative position of the instruments is easy to understand. The sound field is not an excessively wide type, but it is characterized by good visibility and the ability to hear information in the depth direction in an organized manner.
Expand your expressive power by using a preamp together
Although it has a high degree of perfection on its own, it has been pointed out in specialized magazines that because it is designed with a low input impedance, the sound quality can be greatly improved by interposing a preamplifier with high driving power. Adding a preamp not only increases the volume, but also improves the width and dynamics of the sound field, raising the instantaneous power and expressiveness to the next level.
Stable playback regardless of genre
In jazz, the sharpness of the rhythm and the density of the sound stand out, and the touch of the piano and the outline of the bass are clear. In classical music, the overlapping strings are organized, and even in forte music, the sound does not get distorted. Even with pop and rock music, the soft distortion characteristics make it pleasant to the ear and allow for effortless playback.
The CAP-1001 is a small power amplifier that condenses the SATRI circuit's characteristics of speed, transparency, and low noise into an extremely compact housing. Although it has a high degree of perfection on its own, its potential can be greatly brought out by combining it with an appropriate preamplifier. This unit is suitable for users who want to enjoy full-fledged music playback in a space-saving manner.
