This product is available for pre-order now, with an ETA of early June.
This product is Forkbeard compatible. Forkbeard module is not included and must be purchased separately.
Bring back bigpower, that is! At 200W stereo into 8 ohms and 400W into 4 ohms, the all-new Wotan will drive virtually anything. And, at the same time, its the most advanced amp weve ever built, with true dual-mono design, switchable no overall feedback, intelligent temperature management, and Forkbeard control and integration.
Dual Mono. Totally Overbuilt.
Wotan starts with two separate 600VA transformers, for a completely dual mono amplifier design. Add 160,000uf filter capacitance. 24 150W Toshiba output devices, 7 internal power supply rails per channel, and two fans that only kick in when you need them, and you get an insanely capable amp, designed for driving difficult speakers without breaking a sweat.
Nexus Differential Topology, Switchable Feedback
Like Tyr, Wotan is a differential Nexus amplifier, our unique current-feedback design that is inherently balanced. To this, we added a new trick: switchable feedback. Use the front panel button (or Forkbeard) to turn overall feedback on or off, for better synergy with more systems.
Intelligent Oversight, Silent Fans
Wotan includes internal sensors for current, temperature, DC, and other operational parameters. A 32-bit microprocessor manages and protects the amp in case of any fault, for near-bulletproof reliability. Wotan also adds two fanswhich normally stay off. When temperatures climb, the fans switch onslow at first, then building to full speed if necessary. That way, youll never hear them over the music.
Forkbeard: System-Wide Control, Visibility, and Optimization
We saved the best for lastWotan also includes the option to add Forkbeard, for system-wide control with a broad range of Schiit products. Forkbeard gives you instantaneous power output, allows you to switch feedback, change inputs, and trigger Standby mode remotely, provides system health alerts for over-temperature and over-current...and that's just the start.
