This fully balanced circuit design uses a single solid-state component in follower configuration, with a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehigh-current\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003egain and voltage gain together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tube amplifier amplifies the input signal voltage, and InPol supplies the current to drive the loudspeakers without any further amplification. The technology allows an increase in the theoretical output in pure Class A of between 25% and 50%. Together with a low output impedance and a double InPol circuit, the amplifier offers a high damping factor for immense control over the loudspeaker drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is InPol?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you listen to music, you’re not just hearing notes—you’re experiencing emotion. That’s the promise of Pathos’ revolutionary InPol technology: a design created to deliver all of that emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional amplifier designs force a compromise between the warmth of tubes and the control of solid-state. InPol (short for Inseguitore Pompa Lineare, or Linear Pump Tracker) erases that compromise. It’s a patented, fully balanced, class-A topology where a single triode stage handles all voltage amplification—and maintains 100% of its sonic signature—while the InPol circuit delivers the current gain needed to drive even the most demanding speakers effortlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures of InPol\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. Pure Class-A with No Distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInPol doesn’t dilute or \"correct\" the tube signal with negative feedback or transistor interference. Instead, it uses a specially designed current amplifier that mirrors the exact character of the tube stage, with zero phase shift or tonal coloration. The result? The harmonic beauty and liquidity of tubes, with the authority and grip of solid state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Emotionally Engaging Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s a reason Pathos fans describe InPol amps as “addictive.” Music flows with natural presence, dimensionality, and richness—an emotional connection that standard designs just can’t replicate. Voices are human, strings are alive, and the soundstage breathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Exclusive, Patented Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly Pathos builds amplifiers like this. The InPol circuit is a patented innovation, handcrafted in Italy and unavailable from any other brand. This isn’t another copycat design—it’s a true original for those who want something extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. The Best of Both Worlds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTube magic meets muscle. The warmth and finesse of tubes drive the musical expression, while the InPol stage delivers the speed, control, and punch that brings complex music to life. It’s a marriage of passion and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Class-A with Efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditional class-A amps waste enormous energy as heat. InPol’s design cleverly maximizes thermal and electrical efficiency, delivering the full benefits of class-A operation with far fewer compromises—proving you can have purity and performance in one stunning machine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eItalian Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat wood front panel? Well, Pathos' story is best told by a tree. Specifically, the entire padouk tree trunk that's bought by this Italian audio manufacturer, then cut into planks in-house, with the final pieces hand-polished by the son of the Pathos owner himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe panel may not contribute to the sound, but this approach says everything about the great sonics you do hear. Having control of entire manufacturing processes from start to finish means that the Pathos InPol2 is the very best amp it can possibly be at its price-point. These are the very best amps Kevin has heard, and it is Pathos that he has picked for his reference system at home. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 W at 8 Ohm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 kOhm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 Hz - 60 kHz +\/- 3 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSNR:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;100 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHD:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;0.4 % up to maximum power\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption at rest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350 W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (WHD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5\" x 10.6\" x 21.6\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 83.7 lb\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pathos","offers":[{"title":"Matte Metallic Black w\/ Black Accents","offer_id":29214747525180,"sku":"PA-PWR2-BB","price":12995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Metallic Black w\/ Padouk Accents","offer_id":29214747557948,"sku":"PA-PWR2-BP","price":12995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/side_2048x2048_df4a3524-daa2-49c8-be4a-871bc38e998d.jpg?v=1741631662","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/pathos-inpower-mk-ii-monoblock-power-amplifier-each","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
