Champ - One realizes what many in the audio industry deemed impossible: an amplifier without
cooling fans that is capable of delivering high-end musical sound, high dynamics, high reliability.

No fan
Power amplifiers have to operate in demanding circumstances. Places where the air is full of dust,
nicotine or grease. Because power generates heat, power amplifiers typically have fans to keep their
electronic circuits cool.
nicotine or grease. Because power generates heat, power amplifiers typically have fans to keep their
electronic circuits cool.
Unfortunately, these cooling fans are a major headache in the use of high-power amplifiers. They tend
to be noisy, and if -or rather, when- the fan breaks down because of dust collection, the amplifier
overheats and ultimately fails.

A fanless amplifier seems the logical thing, but -until now-, the idea never seemed to work for high
quality amps with high output power. The electronics of a typical class AB amplifier with high output
power simply produce more heat than the unit is able to dissipate. Thus, installers stick to fan-cooled
models and get out of bed to replace a fried amplifier ….

Unique heat sinks
Especially for Champ - One APart introduces the unique, custom-designed side mount heat sinks. In
combination with a self-supporting low resonance frame, they make it possible to create a discrete
high power amplifier without a noisy and dust-collecting fan inside the enclosure.

This means: less maintenance, no annual fan or dust filter exchange procedure, no more amplifier
cleanout, and no more unwanted noise from cooling fans. Champ ONE uses a clever class GH
topology which has about 30% better efficiency compared with a class AB amplifier. Because of this,
Champ ONE can rely on convection cooling only, a unique feature in its output power class!
