Quad 606 Power Amplifier

The Quad 606 is a high quality stereo power amplifier primarily intended for use in very high quality sound reproducing systems. It will normally be used in conjunction with a Quad control unit though other signal sources can be used.
The 606 uses a current dumping output circuit, a Quad Invention which eliminates many of the problems associated with transistor amplifiers and is covered by patents in several countries. In a current dumping amplifier, there is in effect both a low power very high quality amplifier and a high power heavy duty amplifier. The low power amplifier controls the loudspeakers at all times calling on the high power amplifier to provide most of the muscle. The low power amplifier is so arranged that it carries an error signal that provided the larger power transistors (the current dumpers) get within the target area of the required output current It will fill in the remainder accurately and completely. The reproduced quality is solely dependent on the small amplifier which because of its low power can be made very good indeed.
Problems of crossover distortion, quiescent current adjustment. thermal tracking and transistor matching all disappear. There are no internal adjustments or alignments, and the choice of power transistor types is less restrictive.
The performance of the Quad 606 amplifier is as accurate as it is possible to achieve by careful design, selection of components and rigorous test procedures.

Shipping Rates

We calculate your shipping rate based on the total weight of your items and your delivery address. Standard shipping to the UK Mainland (excludes Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands) is free, except where specifically indicated. Don't worry, you'll always see the final shipping charge displayed before you reach the payment step (on the checkout page).

Carriers

We despatch the bulk of our UK mainland items on a 24 hour service.  Non-Mainland locations – Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles, the Scottish highlands and Islands, the Channel Islands and Northern Ireland may take a day or so longer. Smaller items are delivered using Royal Mail 24 or special delivery. Larger items are delivered using a courier service such as UPS and occasionally by a Pallet service.

Order Tracking

If a tracking # is provided by the carrier, we will update your order with the tracking information. Please note that some orders will not have tracking numbers.
