CERAMIC COATING

The amplifiers are precision CNC-milled from solid aluminium billet to form a sturdy chassis, with a bead-blasted treatment, anodized finish, plus a highly resistive ceramic coating. Both designs feature advanced power supplies mounted on suspended sub-chassis to mechanically isolate them from the audio circuits.

LUNDAHL TRANSFORMERS

Lundahl input and output transformers galvanically isolate the preamplifier from the outside world, with the power amp benefitting from Lundahl C-core output devices. Further features include manually channel-matched parts to close tolerances with hand-soldering point to point, oversized choke-regulated power supplies with custom-made power transformers, plus cryogenically treated internal OFC copper wiring.

ZEILER AUDIO PR-01 PREAMP

The PR-01 preamp is a single-ended[ pure triode Class A design. It features a precision volume control providing optimal channel synchronisation and sensitive volume adjustments down to the lowest volume ranges. Four inputs, including MM, with different sensitivities, offer wide-ranging flexibility with a range of sources. The amp also uses widely used valves (12AX7/ECC83) to ensure easy to source future tube replacement.

ZEILER AUDIO PA-01 POWER AMP

The 2x 10-watt single-ended PA-01 power amplifier is based on a triode configuration and uses two KT150 and two 12AX7/ECC83 in the output stage. It offers impedance-matching for both a 4 and 8 -ohm output impedance as standard, with a 16-ohm option on request from the factory.

RALF ZEILER

Founder and owner of Zeiler Audio, Ralf Zeiler, said, ‘Zeiler’s customers are enthusiastic about the successful synthesis of extraordinary musical experiences, timeless elegant design and perfect workmanship made in Switzerland, and I am very excited to debut my products in the UK, a country with such a great audio history. On a personal note, I am a big fan of vintage Tannoy loudspeakers – running 1960’s Tannoy Lockwood monitor speakers taken out of service from Trident Studios in London. So, I already know Zeiler amplifiers are well suited to British speakers.’
