Overview

PrimaLuna EVO 400 Tube Power Amplifier

70 watts per channel. Eight EL34 tubes. Stereo today, monoblocks tomorrow.

The PrimaLuna EVO 400 is a versatile high-end tube power amplifier built for listeners who want the character of EL34 amplification without sacrificing flexibility. It delivers 70 watts per channel in ultra-linear mode or 38 watts per channel in triode mode, with switching available from the supplied remote.

For systems that demand more power, the EVO 400 converts to monoblock operation, delivering 140 watts in ultra-linear mode. PrimaLuna's Adaptive AutoBias, custom-wound transformers, and point-to-point wiring complete an amplifier designed for serious two-channel listening.

 

Highlights

  • Stereo or monoblock: 70W × 2 in stereo or 140W in mono, ultra-linear mode.

  • Two sonic options: Remote-controlled triode and ultra-linear switching.

  • Adaptive AutoBias: Automatically monitors and adjusts output tube bias.

  • Tube protection: Bad Tube Indicator identifies a failed tube and activates protection.

  • Premium construction: Custom output transformers, toroidal power transformer, point-to-point wiring, and Takman resistors.

  • Flexible connectivity: Stereo RCA and XLR inputs.
