Power by Design The engine of the flagship series, the PLATINA INTEGRATED boasts a massive new power amplifier section, setting out its stall as a powerhouse of precision. A ‘dual mono’ class AB design offers 2 x 200W into 8 ohms (300W into 4 ohms) and delivers effortless authority with vast headroom and dynamic control. Engineered to drive even the most demanding loudspeakers, it combines muscular output with audiophile finesse, resolving the finest musical details with scale, grip, and composure. Developed over a rigorous five-year period, the PLATINA INTEGRATED was engineered from the ground up by QUADs trusted design team, using meticulously specified, high-grade components. Every element and configuration was selected or approved by ‘ear’ to ensure the PLATINA INTEGRATED remained true to concept and QUAD DNA. Notably, bespoke capacitors—developed exclusively for this model in collaboration with renowned specialist Wurth Elektronik—form an integral part of its distinctive design architecture. A custom-designed 630VA high-power toroidal transformer with a large filter capacity in the power supply (44,000uF per channel) and cascaded voltage regulators in the analogue and digital sections upholds QUAD’s renowned reputation for musical integrity. From the subtlest harmonic overtones to the full force of a dynamic crescendo, the PLATINA INTEGRATED delivers music with extraordinary realism, dimensionality, and grace.
