Pathos also created a design and package so inspiring and universally loved, it remained unchanged for well over ten years. When a product like Logos is so close to perfection, it’s difficult to improve it.  But with new power supply upgrades as well as a redesign of the tube preamp section, the MKII was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s easy to look at the amazing exterior design and be bowled over. There’s a choice of stunning matte metallic black or exotic padouk wood which is cut, sanded, and finished by hand in-house at the Pathos factory in Vicenza, Italy. In fact, the entire amplifier is produced by hand in Italy, including the PCBs, chassis, capacitors, right down to the heatsinks that proudly spell out the name ‘Pathos’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook inside and this is where the magic begins. The Logos MKII is a tour de force of engineering prowess, careful selection of the finest components, and a healthy dose of Italian creativity and passion in a one-box solution, built to inspire your musical entertainment for a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with the massive dual-mono power transformer, potted and encapsulated to reduce vibrational and electromagnetic noise. A transformer so massive, the Logos weighs over 60 pounds!  There are \u003ci\u003ethree\u003c\/i\u003e separate stages of regulation; one for each channel of the power amp section, and one for the tube preamp section, offering the widest and deepest soundstage. That, along with a massive 44,000 uF custom-made Italian capacitors \u003ci\u003eper channel\u003c\/i\u003e promise superb bass response and a sense of grace, even when program material and speaker impedance become demanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Logos uses MOSFETs in the output stage, known for their tube-like transfer characteristics, in a design that attempts to come sonically as close as possible to Pathos’ patented InPol circuitry. InPol is the only amplifier design, hybrid or solid-state, that gives the full glory of a tube amplifier but with \u003ci\u003econtrol\u003c\/i\u003e. Look at the numbers: 110 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, and an amazing 220 watts into 4 Ohms, with full bandwidth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow about finesse? And beauty? And liquidity? The tube section is run in a fully-balanced configuration to guarantee the lowest noise. Pathos then implements their well-known “resistive volume control” which gives you the low noise, linearity, and perfect channel balance offered by the best electronic designs without the electronic “sheen” and “glare” often encountered with lesser brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails matter. So the new LOGOS, the MKII, boasts the ability to individually adjust input levels for all your sources, so they play at the same volume. An ingenious protection circuit ensures a lifetime of enjoyment, with no audible downside. Logos also has fixed-level and preamp output jacks to add subwoofers, allow bi-amplification, and a myriad of other possibilities. Even the remote is a hand-crafted in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated stereo amplifier, hybrid technology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreamplifier stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tube (2 x 6922 ECC88), class A \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e MOSFET, class AB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 110 W RMS @ 8 \u003cspan\u003eΩ \u003c\/span\u003e(Both channels driven.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 Hz - 140 kHz ± 0.5 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax input voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 V RMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 mV RMS (39 dB Gain)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 \u003cspan\u003ekΩ\u003c\/span\u003e unbalanced, 20 \u003cspan\u003ekΩ\u003c\/span\u003e balanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput polarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non- inverting, balanced pin 2 +\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume regulator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burr Brown PGA2310 (100 steps)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDamping Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 360 @ 8 \u003cspan\u003eΩ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHD:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.02% @ 1 W, 0.2% @ 110 W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS\/N Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;90 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 W @ 100 WPC \/ 130W @ zero volume \u0026lt; 0.5 W @ standby\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalogue line inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x balanced XLR, 5 x RCA \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x pre out stereo, 1 x sub out mono \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital inputs (Optional HiDac board required):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x USB port type \"B\", 2 x S\/PDIF coaxial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.5\" (D) x 16.9\" (W) x 8.7\" (H)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePacked dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23.6\" (D) x 23.6\" (W) x 13.77\"(H)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight (net \/ packed):\u003c\/strong\u003e 61.7 lb (28Kg) \/ 66.1 (30Kg)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pathos","offers":[{"title":"Padouk Wood","offer_id":22482030002236,"sku":"PA-LOG2-P","price":5595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Metallic Black","offer_id":28821286322236,"sku":"PA-LOG2-B","price":5595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/front_2048x2048_241e6441-4144-47a2-b8d0-f5ad6c354919.jpg?v=1741631749","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/pathos-logos-mk-ii-tube-hybrid-integrated-amplifier","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
