Unico
Unico is a stereo integrated amplifier using both valve and solid state technology.
It is the result of many years of original research aimed at providing superb musical performance from a compact, well-equipped and affordable amplifier.
The combination of a pure triode input stage with a MOSFET output stage provides 8o watts of power together with the pleasing sonic character of a well-designed tube amplifier. It will appeal to music lovers and audiophiles alike for its convincingly natural musical presentation.
Construction
The mains transformer, which following Unison Research tradition has been designed and handmade in our own workshops, and the bank of power supply capacitors are of very generous proportions. The power output Mosfets are fitted to a massive 1kg heatsink to ensure optimum thermal stability, and fully protected against overload by an automatic electronic circuit.
Both the input selector and volume control are top quality components, specially selected for longterm reliability. And as with all Unison Research products, Unico is a robustly constructed unit, with a heavy chassis and an attractive faceplate in satin aluminium.
Anodized satin aluminium control knobs complete the frontal design.
Controls and connections
Five line-level inputs are provided, with built-in phono stage (optional). This Phono Unit caters for all types of cartridges by simply changing the positions of the internal MM/MC and gain jumper plugs, and a sophisticated active/passive RIAA equalisation circuit gives accuracy and sweetness on vinyl replay.
Loudspeaker connections are gold-plated, and fully isolated as required by the latest CE regulations.
