The Monoblocks: Beowulf from Bladelius Design Group
The Beowulf monaural amplifier is a milestone in amplifier design. The Beowulf is two power amplifiers in one chassis. One amplifier section, based on bipolar power devices, is optimized to handle low-frequency information, while the other amplifier section, based on MOSFET power devices, is optimized to handle high-frequency information. Normally this is impossible, but thanks to a very careful matching of power devices in time domain, timbre, and tonal balance, the Beowulf handles the changeover from the low-frequency amplifier section to the high-frequency section without any audible problems. The combination of bi-polar and MOSFET power devices in one chassis has never been realised before, and creates great advantages in music reproduction, especially in the control of bi-wired or bi-amplified speaker systems.
Each amplifier section is capable of delivering 450W into 8 Ohms, 900W into 4 Ohms, and 1800W into 2 Ohms continuously. This immense strength is realised thanks to the Beowulf's huge switch-mode power supply, which is capable of supplying the amplifier sections with more than 10kVA of power. Beowulf is a very versatile design that offers the possibility of using the amplifier either in a bi-wired speaker configuration or with an external crossover for bi-amplifying.
