Tangent PowerAmpster III

The Tangent PowerAmpster III is an ultra-compact power amplifier capable of delivering up to 2 x 100 W into 4 ohms while occupying minimal space. It provides optimal power for most bookshelf and floorstanding speakers on the market, with the option of operating in stereo or mono mode. Featuring high-quality components, this Tangent power amplifier ensures dynamic, transparent, and detailed sound reproduction across a wide bandwidth. Its RCA and XLR inputs make it easy to connect to any preamplifier.

Power and musicality

Behind its unassuming design, the Tangent PowerAmpster III power amplifier conceals a surprising power reserve. This is achieved through a very generous power supply, ensuring instantaneous response to the dynamic variations of music and film soundtracks. This power supply is paired with a Class D power stage to maximize efficiency. It can thus deliver up to 2 x 100 watts into 4 ohms or be bridged in mono mode, delivering up to 200 W into 8 ohms. This is more than enough to provide perfect power for any pair of bookshelf or floorstanding speakers. The Tangent PowerAmpster III is also suitable for powering a passive subwoofer or a home theater speaker.

RCA and XLR input

The Tangent PowerAmpster III power amplifier is built around a thick metal chassis, ensuring robustness and providing effective protection against electromagnetic interference. On the rear panel, it features an unbalanced RCA input and a balanced XLR input, allowing for easy pairing with any preamplifier, although it naturally performs best with the Tangent PreAmp III. Conveniently, the Tangent PowerAmpster III automatically wakes up from standby mode when it detects a signal on its inputs. A trigger input is also included for further automation of this power-up.

Compact size and design

Measuring just 20 cm wide and 6.5 cm high, the Tangent PowerAmpster III retains the iconic miniaturized form factor of the range. Its rigid metal chassis and aluminum front panel attest to its robust construction and excellent shielding against electromagnetic interference. This compact design allows for easy placement on a shelf, desk, or TV cabinet, without compromising power or sound quality.

Compact yet powerful, the Tangent PowerAmpster III amplifier is ideal for providing optimal power to most compact and floorstanding speakers on the market. Its wide dynamic range and refined sound make it suitable for both hi-fi and home theater systems.
