Octave has been producing high-end tube electronics for over 20 years, and its integrated amplifier, power amplifier, and preamplifier models have earned a reputation for outstanding sound quality and incredible longevity.
Octave Audio, based in Karslbad-Ittersbach Germany, has been producing high-end tube electronics for over 20 years. Today Octave offers a wide range of tube-based amplification products ranging from the attractively priced V40SE integrated amplifier up to its state-of-the-art Jubilee preamp and mono block amplifiers. Engineered and built in Germany, Octave models incorporate unique monitoring and protection systems and an innovative combination of sophisticated tube and elegant semiconductor circuitry.
Tubes are credited for the exceptional Octave sound quality, while semiconductor circuits help realize the tubes’ full audiophile potential while enabling Octave’s exceptional product durability. The sophisticated control and protection circuitry, soft-start technology, accurate stabilization, and intelligent protection circuits ensure outstanding reliability, while biasing is made simple and easy - yet extremely accurate. Octave offers a level of stability, reliability, and convenience of operation on par with that of the finest solid state designs. Every Octave amplifier is hand-built from the highest grade components, including transformers produced entirely in-house at the company headquarters in Germany.
Octave integrated and power amplifiers feature an extremely accurate bias control calibration system that anyone can use to precisely bias the tubes. In contrast to simple Class A power amplifiers, Octave amplifiers operate in Class A/B, which demands precise setup and control of the bias current. The sophisticated built-in bias calibration system simplifies this adjustment, which is crucial to sound quality. As the bias adjusters on Octave’s amplifiers are outside the case and complimented by front panel display indicators, anyone, regardless of their technical knowledge, can easily adjust the bias of the individual tubes to an extremely high level of precision - within 0.3% accuracy - without any special tools or measuring equipment necessary.
