Jadis Aria Integrated Tube Amplifier
A Vivid Musicality, A Timeless Aesthetic
The Jadis Aria is a 30-watt Class AB integrated tube amplifier that reflects the full extent of Jadis’ legendary artisanal craftsmanship, combining a timeless aesthetic with the vivid musicality that has made Jadis one of the most revered names in high-end tube amplification. By default, the Aria is equipped with EL34 tubes, the romantic tube par excellence, renowned for a midrange that resonates with finesse and a presentation of human voices of striking realism, as if the artist were present in the room. For audiophiles wishing to tailor the sonic character to their personal taste, the Aria can also be equipped with KT88 or KT120 tubes, offering a more customised sound signature while remaining true to the precision and high standards that define the Jadis reputation. A remote control is included as standard.
Proprietary Hand-Wound Jadis Transformers
At the heart of any serious tube amplifier are its output transformers, and the Aria employs Jadis’ proprietary transformers designed, wound, and built entirely by hand, in-house, by Jadis’ own craftsmen. This commitment to in-house transformer manufacture, a practice that sets Jadis apart from virtually all other amplifier manufacturers, ensures complete control over one of the most critical determinants of a tube amplifier’s sonic character. The transformers are responsible for the Aria’s ability to convey the warmth, dimensionality, and natural decay that define the Jadis sound, and their hand-crafted construction is a direct expression of the artisanal philosophy that has guided Jadis since the company’s founding.
Versatile Tube Complement for a Personalised Sound
The Aria’s tube complement of four output tubes, one ECC82, and two ECC83 provides both the driving and amplification stages required for a complete, self-contained integrated amplifier of exceptional musicality. The choice of EL34, 6CA7, or KT120 output tubes allows the character of the Aria to be tailored to personal preference, from the warm, harmonically rich presentation of the EL34 to the greater power and extended dynamics of the KT120. A semi-automatic bias adjustment system simplifies tube maintenance, ensuring the Aria remains easy to operate over a long service life. With a bandwidth of 10Hz to 40kHz at minus 3dB, a sensitivity of 300mV, and five line-level inputs, the Aria is a thoroughly capable and versatile integrated amplifier for any high-quality loudspeaker system.
