General: Quad is an audio brand with an enormous rich history. Quad was actually the brand to have in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, Quad has breathed new life into this heritage by re-releasing the legendary 3-series equipment. But with the Artera series, Quad demonstrates that they are also a modern company capable of producing sleek, versatile, and great-sounding equipment at an affordable price. Despite its compact and stylish housing, the Artera Mono is the most powerful amplifier Quad makes.

Technology: The Quad Artera Mono draws much of its power from Quad's patented current dumping technology. A low-power Class A/B amplifier provides a pure and precise signal, while a high-power current dumping amplifier delivers pure power and grip over the speakers. Internally, the Quad Artera Mono uses extremely pure OCC wiring, which due to its casting and production method has no crystal transitions in the copper, allowing the signal to pass through freely, purely, and unrestrained. This means the internal wiring adds no coloration to the sound and allows the amplifier to deliver its power immediately to the output stage. The Quad Artera Mono features 2 x 300 Watts at 8 Ohms and 2 x 400 Watts at 4 Ohms. Combined with its very stable and powerful linear power supply, this makes the Quad Artera Mono highly suitable for many types of speakers, including those that demand a lot from amplifiers.

Listening: The Quad Artera Mono is a modern amplifier with a classic sound in a modern design. The sound is neutral, powerful, and dynamic, but in a way that doesn't shout it from the rooftops. There is excellent distinction and clarity of the different layers in the recording due to the very good articulation and rhythmic reproduction of the Quad Artera Mono. The sound is full and has a good amount of body without the sound coming across as colored. With the large amount of power the Quad Artera Mono possesses, you don't need to hesitate to turn the volume knob up a bit, rock, metal, electronic music, or large orchestral works are presented in a grand and impressive manner. Even smaller-scale music such as smooth jazz, vocal music, and chamber classical is reproduced in detail and pleasantly. Actually, in many respects we can simply say that the Quad Artera Mono sounds 'as it should'. A broad statement and certainly very personal, but after listening to these excellent mono power amplifiers, we suspect that a large portion of people will agree with that statement.

The Quad Artera Mono amplifiers are now available for listening by appointment at Ohm-Audio B.V., optionally with a matching Quad Artera preamplifier. Ohm-Audio B.V. is an official Dutch Quad dealer.
