865

Integrated Amplifier

High-performance sound had always meant separate components, a lot of cables and large space requirements. Simple, integrated solutions fell short of the mark when it came to sound quality. In short, convenience came with compromise.

Until Boulder’s 865.

Features

  • Massive, shielded, toroidal transformer and multiple filter capacitors for immediate power transfer

  • Efficient heatsink design means high power in a small chassis without excessive heat

  • Four pairs of inputs, each capable of custom configuration and naming

  • One pair of auxiliary outputs that can be set for fixed (to drive secondary systems) or variable operation (to drive a subwoofer or additional amplifier)

  • Fully balanced input circuitry for maximum resolution and sound quality

  • Rugged, easy-to-connect, high-current speaker terminals require no tools

  • Boulder's own precision stepped volume control, the same as in the 2010 preamplifier

  • Input and preamplifier sections are housed in steel casework to eliminate interference from other portions of the amplifier

  • Supervising microprocessor controls all preamplifier functions, monitors protection circuits, and communicates with other Boulders
