Although Vincent also manufactures long-lasting
and high-class components for multi-channel
audio units and home cinemas, Vincent's devel-
opers feel especially dedicated to the stereo tradi-
tion. In this segment in particular, the progress in
sound that a separation into preamplifiers and
main amplifiers brings is apparent. We think that
it is precisely the use of all-too price-conscious
design in preamplifiers and main amplifiers that
undermines these efforts with lower sound quality
resulting from compromises. For this reason
Vincent does not manufacture "entry level models"
for stereo preamplifiers and stereo main ampli-
fiers. This also makes sense because, irrespective
of any development in the audio market and irre-
spective of what kind of audio system is to be
built, there is one category of devices whose com-
ponents can continue to be used in any system put
together in the future: the main amplifiers! That is
because it doesn't matter what the data media or
data formats of the future are, the sound will
always have to find its way to the loudspeaker.
Our SP-994 is a versatile stereo main amplifier
from Vincent's solidLine. Its roots lie among
Vincent amplifiers like SP-993 and SP-991. It is
characterized by the ability to switch between
amplifier modes "Class A" and "Class AB". In

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

Class A mode an especially clean characteristic
transmission curve leaves no chance for distorti-
ons, at the same time the input power of the ampli-
fier is without signal (or at low input signals) much
higher than in Class AB mode. This power ampli-
fier can be toggled between both modes at any
time. The result of extensive development and
strict component selection is a power amplifier not
only with little sound competition, but never losing
control in various connection alternatives in com-
bination with all speakers. By featuring RCA as
well as XLR inputs the amplifier can also be con-
trolled symmetrically. A further characteristic of
this unit is the "POWER CONTROL", allowing it to
respond to turn-on and turn-off signals. The highest
manufacturing quality and excellent value for
money can be taken for granted.
A stereo preamplifier (SA-94, SA-93Plus) or a
multi-channel decoder preamplifier (SAV-C series)
can be used alongside it. In combination with CD
players, DVD players, tuners, hifi furniture, loud-
speakers and loudspeaker cables from the Vincent
range, the most various, perfectly harmonised
systems can be built with the use of this stereo
main amplifier. A remarkable result is achieved
when combining Vincent amplifiers with Focal
loudspeakers.
