New! Major Upgrade for Autumn 2011

    All new audio gain stage with 6H6П super tube.

New for 2011 is a completely new gain stage employing the 6H6П super tube for voltage gain. This Russian military triode has high transconductance and low mu for exceptional performance at audio frequencies. The grounded grid configuration allows the tube to operate with the highest linearity and the lowest distortion. A cathode follower keeps output impedance low for excellent drive capability.

The circuit is split and folded around a 0.6kg billet of aluminum. The regulator and audio boards either side can then be made physically smaller, keeping the signal path shorter and suppressing resonances through superior mechanical integrity. The regulator also benefits from a stable thermal sink for its output devices. Power from the regulator passes through the billet itself via short links, keeping the two sections tightly coupled, but fully screened from one another.

Six buttons directly select inputs, while the control knob and a further two buttons access the control menu hierarchy.

Remote control is via infra red handset, our PRC is the perfect compliment. The dot matrix LED panel display is designed to be fully legible across a room. Brightness can be configured to track the ambient light level or is manually adjustable.

Each input can be left as factory preset or given a custom label of your choice which is displayed each time the input is selected. A gain trim can also be assigned to each input to equalise volume levels between sources.

Balance control is available in 0.5dB steps. Default start up volume and balance settings can be saved via the menu system.

Film Mode can be selected for any input, enabling the 909 to integrate seamlessly with your AV processor for multi channel use.

A real time clock provides multi event, seven day system switch on, switch off via TASlink. This allows you to fully warm up your system before coming home to listen. A sleep function provides power down after a selected period of your choice.

Other Trilogy products can be "Named" via TASLink for status monitoring and remote control.  Any intelligent features will then be available for use via the 909.

A wide range of user programmable defaults including setting the home page display and PIN protected control menu locking.

The 909 is PIN protected for your security. In the event of disconnection from the mains supply for more than thirty minutes a PIN will be required for operation. Other Trilogy products can be bonded to the 909 via TASLink for system wide security. This function prevents the bonded units from operating if they are not connected to their bonded master 909. Simply select unbond within the menu to break the link for transportation or audition in other systems.

TASLink is Trilogy's proprietary interface bus; designed expressly for the high resolution audio environment. It is a fully bidirectional system which means any intelligent future products are able to interface seamlessly with existing ones, without the need for software upgrades. Commonly found RJ45 connectors are used for linking products together. DC and general purpose lines (GPI) allow some functions to be used with remotely controlled equipment from other manufacturers.  Status reporting, remote interrogation and control of other Trilogy products as well as user configurable bus settings are all within TASLink's remarkable reach.

There are two independent bus systems within TASLink: one to carry high speed data for interface and house keeping and QuietBus which only interfaces with the audio circuits. Unlike most micro controlled systems, QuietBus is only active when a command is sent and operates at very low data rates.  This keeps the audio circuits completely free of high speed digital and control related noise.
