The Densen BEAT-200PLUS is the most classic product, currently in Densens line.
It is.
This provides a clear upgrade path, from one B-200PLUS/B-310 to one B-200 and up to four B-330\'s using electronic crossovers, in an state-of-the-art active system.
It is naturally possibile to mount a DP-01 phono-stage internally in the B-200PLUS.
As allways with a Densen product, the circuit itself is built using no feedback, which results in an open, transparent and dynamic sound with the Densen trademark musical involvement in the foreground.
The B-200PLUS is not only optimised soundwise; the remote and link system are also state-of-the-art, the result of 2 software programmers work since February 1996.
The B-200PLUS link system allows two-way communication in multiroom installations.
The design is optimised to perfection, with only a minimum of leaded components, the rest being high quality SMD components, mounted with a precision of 0.05 mm! There is used a special teflon double-sided PCB, which is highly unusual, but has dramatic effects on the signal quality.
As always, the B-200PLUS is prepared for bi-amping, but this time it is also prepared for quad-amping, allowing it to drive up to 4 stereo power amplifiers, or 8 monoblocks! If the connected power amplifier is Densens BEAT 320, it will be possible to make the system active by using electronic crossovers mounted internally in the BEAT B-300.
There are seperate transformers for audio and for the CPU/Link system.
We use no less than 5 custom-made capacitors, with a total capacity of 50.000 uF.
The power supply is built with the same encapsulated transformers as in Densen\'s top of the line preamp, the DM-20.
This is done by making the output-stage a 6W Class-A power amplifier with no feedback Naturally the amplifier stages are totally discrete designs, using ultrafast transistors and massive power supplies.
The whole of the circuitry is designed with the best components, and as such all inputs are goldplated, all resistors are 1% laser-trimmed metalfilm or better, all capacitors are selected for their sonic quality, and a Alps RK27 motor-driven potentiometer is used in a 4 times version.
The last stages are designed to be able to drive long cable runs, enabling it to work perfectly with several power amplifiers at once, even if they are placed alongway away from the B-200PLUS.
From the volume potentiometer the signal is sent to the final stages of the B-200PLUS.
This ensures that signal sources with inferior output-stages will stil work perfectly with the B-200PLUS, because it is easier for them to work with the input stage rather then with a potentiometer that changes electrical ccharacteristics with the volume setting.
Normally the signal would be sent directly to the potentiometer, but by starting with the first amplifier stage, the amplifier stage can be designed not only to take care of its normal function, but also to interact perfectly with the volume potentiometer that follows it.
From the input relays the signal is sent to the first stage of the preamp.
The CP Claire PRME 25005 is a mono relay, providing the B-200PLUS with relays for both left and right signal - and a total of no less than 18 CP Claire relays, though the layout of the signal path means that the signal will travel through an absolute minimum of relays.
The input selection is done with a special version of CP Claires best relay.
From the second the signal enters the B-200PLUS there is no compromise.
The B-200PLUS marks the begining of a new phase for Densen, as it contains several unique, exciting solutions.
Soundwise the B-200PLUS isas with all other Densen productsdesigned with the absolute highest sound-quality as its goal.
As you would expect, it bears the Densen trademark of engaging musicality, but the BEAT-200PLUS is also technically sophisticated and is fully engineered for the Gizmo system remote.
It was at the forefront of audio in 1994 when it was launched, and still it is a reference preamplifier, especially with the new PLUS version, which has resulted in an even more refined sound and performance.
