Vinnie Rossi BRAMA Integrated Amplifier (Gen 2)
In a class of its own.
With 400 Watts RMS of output power per channel into 4 ohms and unwavering stability into 2 ohms, the Brama Integrated Amplifier’s high-current, Class AB lateral MOSFET output stage drives even the most demanding loudspeakers with conviction.
What sets our approach apart is how we achieve this power using only 2 matched output devices per rail, effortlessly revealing the subtlest nuances in your music. The amplifier’s two PCB stack and advanced layout and grounding techniques keep the signal and power paths short, ensuring optimal performance.
Additionally, heatsink temperatures and speaker output currents are continuously monitored and protected, ensuring long-term listening enjoyment.
Directly heated triode magic.
At the heart of the Brama Integrated Amplifier lies Vinnie Rossi’s finest 300B preamplifier stage, featuring a matched pair of premium Western Electric WE300B triodes. Operating in pure Class A, these legendary triodes deliver an immersive listening experience with unmatched realism and tonality.
The preamplifier stage’s fully balanced, dual mono input-to-output architecture is positioned directly behind the rear panel for the shortest possible signal paths. With patented Belleson super-regulated power supply rails and 300B cathode heating, Brama achieves ultra-low noise and optimal transient response, ensuring exceptional audio fidelity.
Responsiveness reimagined.
The Brama Integrated Amplifier boasts a custom switch-mode power supply designed from the ground up to outperform conventional linear supplies. With 2400W peak output power and patented Belleson linear super-regulated outputs, it delivers high current with exceptionally low output noise and impedance. Its high-speed operation and low magnetic losses ensure ultra-fast transient response and superior pace, rhythm, and timing in music reproduction.
With active power factor correction (PFC) and superior regulation and stability, the power supply ensures maximum performance regardless of AC mains quality. Housed in a fully enclosed compartment precision machined into Brama’s solid aluminum body, it is fully grounded and isolated from the audio circuitry, performing like a highly-responsive, well-tuned engine.
Analog is always timeless.
The front panel of the Brama Integrated Amplifier presents a clean layout, luxurious feel, and timeless design, purposefully omitting digital displays and visual clutter.
Its bespoke analog wattage gauge features a precision air core movement, responsive driver circuitry, and a machined aluminum hand. Sapphire glass and a highly-polished stainless bezel seamlessly integrate the gauge into the front panel.
Solid aluminum knobs are attached to Swiss-made, precision-stepped rotary switches, providing manual control with an incredibly satisfying feel.
Solidity that’s literally seamless.
Uncommon even among cost-no-object components, the main body of the Brama Integrated Amplifier is precision-machined from a solid block of aluminum. This construction offers exceptional resonance control, complete shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI), and ensures superior heat dissipation, guaranteeing the long-term reliability of its internal components.
From an industrial design perspective, the seamless construction enhances the amplifier’s aesthetic appeal for audiophiles who value sophistication and elegance.
Effortless control.
The Brama Remote sets a new standard in the audio industry. Its intuitive menu structure, high-resolution display, and tactile push buttons provide seamless control over your listening experience.
Effortlessly adjust volume, gain, balance, and independently save settings for the five inputs. Bluetooth communication with your Brama Integrated Amplifier eliminates line-of-sight or range issues, while USB-C connectivity ensures easy battery recharging and firmware updates.
Crafted from a solid block of aluminum, the Brama Remote features a sapphire glass display area for remarkable scratch resistance and clarity.
