Audio Dynamics – Exceptional Acumen Conducive To Exceptional Products
Conceived in Missouri during 1993 and stemming from the audacious aural ambitions of Aaron White; Audio Dynamics is a company built upon the bedrock foundations of vast knowledge, accumulated experience and engineering acumen. A vessel created for the purpose of allowing Aaron and his team of astute engineers to freely express their exceptional expertise and craftsmanship. During its tenure Audio Dynamics has successfully realised Aaron’s vision of creating a vast stable of superb quality audio products; products that combine exceptional design methodologies and meticulous construction with a delectable and a most realistic musical performance.

SD Series - Where Resplendent Finesse Meets Brute Force
Being a most distinguished lady or gentleman is conducive to you desiring a powerful yet superbly controlled performance from your amplifier. However within you also lies a mischievous little streak, intrinsically meaning you have a tendency to crank the volume to full tilt from time to time. Nonetheless you still expect everything to remain wonderfully clean and completely devoid of any struggle or distortion. That's going to take a special breed of amplifier to blend such accuracy with copious amounts of volume. Welcome to Audio Dynamics superb SD range of powerhouses; amplifiers designed not only to provide delightful quality and control, but they can also cave your head in whenever the need arises.

Design Ideologies
When designing the superb SD range of amplifiers, the engineering team at Audio Dynamics faced some challenges. For they needed big power, far more than most models within this market tier provide. They also required serious performance specifications to keep at top of the game. These goals however are difficult to achieve however without encountering issues pertaining to thermal dynamics, serious current requirements and enormous footprints.

The Class Within
The answer was to develop a special switching technology within the fundamental design, essentially starting with a class D foundation before affecting various improvements to the circuit design. This vastly improved topology reduced the need for titanic heat dissipation by making them ultra-efficient, all without sacrificing any musicality or clarity. Their power output, ancillary specifications and physical footprints combine to make the SD amplifiers most impressive units.

Thermal Dynamics
For an amplifier to provide high power and musicality, efficiency and heat dissipation are two essential qualities. To optimise these aspects the SD amplifiers have been designed with a serious aluminium chassis. The distribution of the components on the motherboard was also carefully researched to optimise the cooling capacity of the chassis. The careful selection of components such as switching power supply, oversized toroidal transformers, high-quality capacitors and so on; these have all made it possible to create powerful but ultra-compact amplifiers offering excellent musicality without compromise. So proud of the design is Audio Dynamics, you’ll see various photos showcase the internal design; something most amplifier designers are too embarrassed to even reveal.
