Constellation Performance 2 Stereo Power Amplifier
The Input Stage
The Line Stage Gain Module input stage utilizes hand-matched, low-noise transistorscombined with a servo circuit that corrects any signal balance inconsistencies. The Constellation Direct XLR input removes one amplification stage from the signal path forless complexity and even greater musicality with these Performance 2 flagships.
The Power Supply
Performance 2 elevates sound to a new level with our revolutionary Switch-Mode PowerSupply (C-SMPS), the best amplifier power supply ever created. Power FactorCorrection (PFC) technology provides stable power at any AC supply voltage—worldwide. Voltage and current are always in phase regardless of speaker load, power over the previous version is increased by 20 percent, and noise is more than 20 dBlower than a typical linear power supply.
The Circuit
The Performance 2 amplifiers employ balanced configuration, using separate amplifier circuits for the positive and negative halves of the audio signal. Other balanced amplifiers use N-type transistors for the positive half of the circuit and P-type transistors for the negative half. Our Balanced Bridged configuration uses only N-type transistors,so both signal halves pass through exactly the same circuitry—with even the softest musical details preserved.
The Performance Pinnacle
The Performance 2 amplifiers further refine the proven circuits and core design philosophy that are the Constellation design ethos. Through a combination of Constellation’s innovative audio circuits and revolutionary C-SMPS power supply, the Performance 2 amplifiers achieve truly astounding sonic results, eclipsing that of their predecessors and even the outgoing Reference series. Music lovers seeking an unrivaled listening experience will be amply rewarded.
