Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum

The award winning Cronus Magnum has garnered an enviable reputation in the high end audio world. Even at its attainable price, it outperforms other integrated amps costing many times more. The pure tube design provides a smooth, almost liquid sound that has made this amp a reviewer favorite. With circuitry borrowed from our most advanced amplifier designs, the Cronus Magnum's 100WPC effortlessly reproduces even the most demanding musical passages. The Magnum III features a number of exciting new upgrades.For vinyl enthusiasts the phono section has been completely redesigned to accommodate both MM and MC cartridges. Two gain settings provide for 45dB and 60dB of gain so you can now use either high or low output cartridges. The phono also has five individual load settings so you can fine tune the phono for optimal results. A Triode/Ultralinear switch allows for on the fly switching between Ultralinear operation and pure triode. Ultralinear offers the most power and a commanding grip on the bass while triode provides a slightly softer and more romantic sound. A completely new headphone circuit is based around MOSFET buffers capable of massive current sourcing. The design is basically a simplified single ended version of our RH-5 headphone amplifier and puts out enough power to drive the most difficult headphones for clean crisp personal audio. The line stage has been improved and has an amazingly low noise floor for a completely black background for your listening. From a technical standpoint the Cronus uses a triode preamplifier coupled to our excellent Atlas Magnum power amplfier. A large oversized linear power supply stores tremendous energy for low frequency response and dynamic headroom. The tube circuitry is cutting edge with short signal paths exacted in a low noise design. Finally, precision components are used to provide the transparency and air that are so critical to accurate musical reproduction. Hybrid Design The Cronus Magnum III blends tube preamplification with solid-state power amplification, offering the best of both technologies for a rich, warm sound with reliable power output. Powerful Output With 100 watts per channel, the Cronus Magnum III provides ample power to drive most high-performance speakers, ensuring full-range clarity and dynamic sound for an immersive listening experience. Tube Biasing Control The amplifier allows for easy tube biasing, ensuring that users can maintain peak performance while extending the lifespan of their tubes for optimal sound quality. Versatile Connectivity Equipped with multiple inputs including RCA and a home-theater bypass, this amplifier integrates seamlessly into various audio setups, enhancing your sound system flexibility. Premium Build Quality Constructed with high-quality components, the Cronus Magnum III ensures lasting durability and superior sound performance, built to withstand years of use while delivering exceptional audio fidelity.
