For stereo, two of them work as a matched pair, each for its own speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the AMG ONE?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ODC design is NuPrime's Class-D topology: it measures distortion and deliberately calculates it back out. The result is a clean, powerful sound that doesn't become harder at higher levels but stays calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind it is a 250 W toroidal transformer with 22000 µF of filter capacitance – plenty of reserve for dynamic peaks. In standby the power amplifier is content with 0.4 watts, which is pleasantly discreet in continuous operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNuPrime describes the AMG series with fine detail, rich tone and spatial imaging – separates with a character of their own. The AMG ONE stands under the motto «Command every note»: control over every note, without fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e170 watts into 8 ohms, 220 watts into 4 ohms, up to 260 watts at peak: with that, a pair of AMG ONE drives even more demanding speakers in a controlled way. Especially in the bass, the power shows up as precision rather than pushiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe very low output impedance (4 mΩ) provides a firm grip on the speaker – cones follow the signal instead of ringing on. The NJR MUSES8820 op-amp in the input stage and the 600 kHz switching frequency keep resolution high. Inputs are available both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA), plus trigger input and output so that the power amplifiers switch on and off with the preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVideo\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/73BP7kJZn-I\" title=\"NuPrime Audio AMG ONE\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the AMG ONE for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor everyone looking for a compact, powerful power amplifier and wanting the advantage of separate monoblocks – ideal together with a high-quality preamplifier such as the AMG DAC or the AMG PRA. If you value clean channel separation and short paths, you are in the right place here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlain speaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digital gimmicks, streaming or a DAC you will look for in vain here – the AMG ONE is a pure power amplifier and needs a preamplifier in front of it. If you want an all-in-one device, you are better served with an integrated amplifier. If you deliberately separate your power amplifiers, exactly right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AMG ONE is a surprisingly powerful, compact monoblock with NuPrime's clean Class-D signature. Dick Olsher tested it for The Absolute Sound (November 2023) and calls it not only his favourite Class-D amplifier but one of his favourite solid-state amplifiers of all. In The Absolute Sound's Buyer’s Guide 2024, according to NuPrime, the AMG ONE is listed among the «Greatest Bargains in High-End Audio». At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we appreciate how uncomplicated it is to fit into an existing chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Class-D mono power amplifier (monoblock), ODC design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e NJR MUSES8820 op-amp, 600 kHz switching frequency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 W toroidal transformer, 22000 µF filter capacitance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput power (RMS):\u003c\/strong\u003e 170 W @ 8 Ω, 220 W @ 4 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput power (peak):\u003c\/strong\u003e 210 W @ 8 Ω, 260 W @ 4 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26.44 dB (voltage gain 21)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 Vrms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR balanced, RCA unbalanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 mΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHD \/ S\/N (typical):\u003c\/strong\u003e @5 W 0.003 % \/ 95 dB · @50 W 0.004 % \/ 105 dB · @100 W 0.03 % \/ 110 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Hz – 50 kHz (-3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrigger:\u003c\/strong\u003e IN (\u0026gt; 5 V\/200 mA) and OUT (12 V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandby power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMains voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 115 \/ 230 VAC, switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 235 × 55 × 285 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much power does the NuPrime AMG ONE have?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a monoblock, the AMG ONE delivers 170 watts into 8 ohms and 220 watts into 4 ohms (RMS), up to 260 watts at peak.

The AMG ONE is a mono power amplifier (monoblock) that amplifies exactly one channel. For classic stereo operation you therefore need two units – one per speaker. The advantages are short paths, a separate power supply per channel and very clean channel separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich preamplifier suits the AMG ONE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AMG ONE is a pure power amplifier and needs a preamplifier in front of it.
