    Cyclone 1.2 Integrated Amplifier

 

Our entry-level Cyclone 1.2 uses bi-polar Darlington output devices driven with an all-new front-end circuit derived from the more advanced MOSFET designs used by the superior models in the Talk range.  Extensive use of surface-mount technology and micro-processor controlled  input-switching eliminates the need for conventional wiring within the amplifier and maximises the signal-to-noise ratio.  This allows a much lower level of background noise - volume does not now need to be wicked up for good detail retrieval.

Based on a 200VA transformer and producing a healthy 80 Watts into 8 Ohms, over 140 Watts into more difficult 4 Ohm loads, the Cyclone 1.2 demonstrates an impressive ability to drive even the most demanding of loudspeakers.  As with all Talk amplifiers, dynamics are a given - what may be surprising is the high-level of subtlety and deftness that also abounds from this muscular amplifier.  Vocals in particular are projected with a sense of space and solidity that allows all the musical nuances to be felt and experienced, not just heard.

Double sets of speaker outputs are provided via the new EU safety 'BFA' plugs for bi-wire applications.  The amplifier is fully equipped with remote control for input selection, volume and mute functions and has 6 line-level inputs with one pair of pre-amplifier output sockets for additional power amplifiers.

When partnered with the matching Thunder 1.2 CD Player a truly musical toe-tapping hi-fi system is created - hair-brushes and air guitars to the ready!
