Mastersound - Taking Sound Seriously
Since 1994 Mastersound has been manufacturing high-end audio components of unsurpassed quality. From the very beginning its goal has been to create the highest quality sound. Mastersound's experienced engineers manufacture each component one by one with extreme care. All Mastersound components are built in-house in its laboratory in Arcugnano, using the best components and processing available on the market. This allows it to reach any and all standards required to be a timeless piece of equipment. If there is the opportunity to tap into Italian mastery every day, why not do it? That "Made in Italy" tag is a label taken very seriously by Mastersound.

Tube Series – Accuracy Beyond Astounding
When it comes to actual high-end sound there’s an echelon of discerning audiophiles who desire supreme sound quality above all else. Articulated deep bass, delectably controlled midrange, and supremely accurate highs. Barriers are there to be broken, and budget is of secondary concern. This is the territory of Mastersound superb Tube range of amplifiers. Developed with every last detail heavily scrutinised; this is as close to aural perfection as can be had.

Design Ideologies
Mastersound has its headquarters located in Arcugnano in the province of Vicenza in Italy. It’s a niche high-end audio company made by people ready to seize new challenges, united by the same profound passion of Cesare Sanavio.

Luciano Sanavio is the production manager, and thanks to his engineering studies coupled with his natural ability and curiosity; Luciano gets ever more exciting results with his engineering staff. Mastersound output transformers are designed and built entirely by our laboratories, expressing unmatched bandwidth values ​​and making them recognized globally.

Mastersound Output Transformers
One of the most important components in creating a good tube amplifier is the output transformer. At Mastersound its output transformers are wrapped one at a time by hand on a mechanical winding machine utilising the experience, passion and the research of maestro Cesare Sanavio.

He then transmitted his extensive knowledge to his son Luciano Sanavio who succeeded in the great challenge of further innovating it. Introducing an innovative and unique construction technique that makes Mastersounds output transformers unique in the world.

This precious tradition is the cornerstone of the outstanding quality of its amplifiers, which offer an exceptional performance thanks to their special output transformers. Great dynamics, power and harmonic richness are the characteristics that a class A tube amplifier can and must have without the classic limitations imposed by traditional output transformers. Because of this Mastersound prefers to guard its secrets very carefully.

Tube Selection Process
Mastersound tube selection is the result of decades of research around the world for the best vacuum tubes manufacturers. This continuous research allows the company to always select the best tubes in terms of sound quality. Mastersound tubes are readily available and supplied by reliable companies. Selected tubes undergo thorough quality control tests to ensure maximum reliability and performance.

After installing them on its amplifiers, the channel waves are carefully aligned. This step is essential for the perfect stereophonic listening. Tubes are thence tested for almost 48 hours on the amplifiers before packing them and shipping around the world.

Sustainability Of Materials
Mastersound stipulates that the materials it uses every day in the pursuit of sound harmony cannot in any way harm the environment. It’s aware that being a small part and at the same time at the center of the world requires the maximum possible use of recyclable materials. Natural wood that is finely processed by Italian master craftsmen gives Mastersound amplifiers their Italian style, making them unique and timeless. The chassis is made of steel, a material that in addition to requiring less energy and heat for its production is truly sustainable, as it can be re-melted and reused. This means all Mastersound amplifiers are destined to go beyond our time and reach future generations.
