The design utilises six EL84s on each bank for a total of twelve, the sum of which is high performance with balance and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe geometry isn’t just engine mimicry but allows for an organised and compact layout with central weight distribution. This creates a design that has powerful lines and compelling proportions. Despite its bold use of chrome and adventurous styling, the EAR V12 sits proud but is not obtrusive in any environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.earyoshino.com\/V12\/images\/features\/EARV12_threequarters.jpg\" width=\"599\" height=\"208\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExquisite detailing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V12 utilises EAR Yoshino’s rich tradition of workmanship, blending high calibre engineering with craft. Beautiful hand selected and polished wooden end caps on the ‘half moon’ valve covers add a simple but distinctive touch to the design making each EAR V12 unique. Chrome transformer covers suggesting a sleek aerodynamic power block, with sufficient power in reserve for the most demanding audio terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreathtaking from every angle, the EAR V12 is built with a level of quality associated with solid construction that gives the impression that you are using something truly special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"209\" width=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.earyoshino.com\/V12\/images\/features\/EAR_V12_topview.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur greatest engine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim de Paravicini’s vision was beyond just a collection of EL84s but to create an amplifier of unparalleled power and clarity. Utilizing Tim’s own ‘balanced bridge mode circuit’ that takes the primary windings of the output transformer and splits them equally between the Anode and Cathode circuits of the tubes so they’re capacitively cross-coupled enabling increased bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAided with the use of a Pentode Mode parallel push-pull class “A” circuit, the valve amplifier produces soft second harmonic distortion in low quantities with superb linearity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ProductWidth\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ProductText\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ProductTextRight\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePower behind the beauty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transformers are bespoke designs, that are hand-wound in Cambridgshire, England. The output transformers are designed and built for ultra-wide bandwidth. Providing extended frequency response at both ends of the spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bank of six EL84’s provids fifty watts of pure high quality audio and improved low-level detail. With perfect loudspeaker coupling, the V12 is equipped with the smooth muscular power of its automotive namesake. As a consequence of Tim de Paravicini’s attention to detail in the design process, he ensured that this power is conservatively within the capability of the V12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Specs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SpecsCell\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eValves\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwelve EL84 (6BQ5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen ECC83 (12AX7)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SpecsCell\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrequency Response: 12-60Khz -3dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignal-to-nosie Ratio: 93dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput Sensitvity: 0.4V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput Impedance: 47kΩ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutput Damping Factor: 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SpecsCell\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive Line Inputs (RCA)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Tape Output (RCA)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SpecsCell\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOutput\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower Output (20-20KHz): 50W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ento 4 \u0026amp; 8Ω (8 \u0026amp; 16Ω optional)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion: \u0026lt;0.03%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SpecsCell\" id=\"nobottom\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 22kg (48lb)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 420 mm (16.5”)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 440 mm (17.3”)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 135mm (5.3”)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SpecsCell\" id=\"nobottom\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower Consumption: 200 watts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e240 volt \/ 110 Volt \/ 100 Volt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(depending on model)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg height=\"213\" width=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.earyoshino.com\/V12\/images\/specs\/Rear_panel.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ear Yoshino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62887256457375,"sku":null,"price":7900.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5532\/6111\/files\/103ab532-f7a7-4252-a4e4-ad2172afdb60.png?v=1707251225","url":"https:\/\/altitudoaudio.ca\/products\/ear-v12-floor-demo","provider":"Altitudo Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
