Vincent developers are not only dedicated to the
stereo tradition but also create outstanding multi-
channel system audio and home cinema compo-
nents. The reason we have spent much effort in
main amplifier conception is that these devices
can be used again in future audio systems no mat-
ter what they consist of and what data formats the
sources support. That is because audio signals
from whatever source will always have to find
their way to the speaker.
In order to be able to integrate main amplifiers in
a most flexible way and to make them be combi-
ned channel by channel, Vincent had a ground
breaking idea to develop mono main amplifiers
with a reduced width into an upright housing that
made five of them fill the standard rack size of 43
cm. In this way they can either be placed in com-
bination in a rack or be placed near the corre-
sponding loudspeaker each. The SP-996 is a
mono main amplifier from the Vincent solidLine. It
is equipped with one mono RCA line level input

and can be connected to one loudspeaker. To
make this device cooperate with other compo-
nents of the system the Power Control function and
automatic shutoff have been added. Contrary to
its small dimensions the SP-996 is not a toy: its
power is more than sufficient for most available
loudspeakers.
To complete a small powerful beautiful stereo
system two SP-996 can be augmented by the pre-
amplifier Vincent SA-96. If you add a SA-93Plus
or SA-94 the result is a premium stereo system. If
you intend to create a multichannel system you
would prefer one of the SAV-C AV preamplifiers.
As music sources DVD players, CD players or
tuners from the Vincent range are best suited. Our
recommendation regarding loudspeakers go to
Vincent or Focal speakers. In combination with
HiFi furniture and loudspeaker cables from the
Vincent range, the most various, perfectly harmo-
nised systems can be built that make use of these
mono main amplifiers.
