Unison Research UNICO 90 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier

The Unison Research Unico 90 is a class AB hybrid integrated amplifier with zero feedback, as the most precious valve amplifiers use only two stages. The heart of the Unico 90 circuit is found in its hybrid structure. All of the gain, and subsequently the “character” of the amp, is determined by the only tube stage made with ECC83 and ECC 81in particular multiple-parallel-totem-pole.

Unison Research Unico 90 Specs:

• Output power: 100+100 W  RMS su 8Ω / 160+160 W  RMS su 4Ω
