SIT-5

The Pass Labs First Watt SIT-5 is a high-end power amplifier that utilizes Static Induction Transistors (SITs), offering a unique sonic character by combining the warmth of tubes with the speed and precision of solid-state electronics. It operates in single-ended Class A, features custom output transformers, and has both balanced and unbalanced inputs. 

Features

  • Static Induction Transistors (SITs): The SIT-5 leverages SITs, a vintage technology that is known for its distinct sonic qualities. 
  • Single-Ended Class A Operation: This topology is renowned for its purity of sound and simplicity, focusing on quality rather than high wattage.
  • Custom Output Transformers: These transformers are designed to optimize the amplifier's performance. 
  • Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs: This provides flexibility in connecting various audio sources. 
  • Low Power Output: While not designed for high-power applications, the SIT-5 prioritizes efficient and accurate power delivery for a detailed and engaging sound. 
  • Zero Feedback: The amplifier operates without feedback, contributing to its unique sonic signature.
  • User-Adjustable Bias: This allows for fine-tuning the amplifier's performance to match individual preferences. 
  • High-Quality Components: The SIT-5 utilizes high-quality components, including a high-power SIT rated at 600 volts, 30 amps, and 400 watts, with frequency response to 50 MHz.
  • Common-Drain Mode: The SIT operates in common-drain mode, which contributes to its low output impedance and noise levels. 
  • Low Output Impedance: The amplifier has a low output impedance (0.25Ω), which is 16 times lower than the SIT4, further enhancing its performance. 
  • Wide Bandwidth: The SIT-5's upper -3dB bandwidth is 200kHz, significantly wider than the SIT4's 80kHz. 
  • Low Noise: The noise level is measured at 36µV, half that of the SIT4. 
  • Distortion: @ 1 watt 0.07%
  • Input Impedance: 100 Kohm
  • Gain: 19 dB
  • Damping Factor: 25
  • Output power: 35 watts @ 1% THD, 8 ohms
  • Frequency response: 5 Hz to 200 Khz (-3 dB)
  • Noise: 30uV unweighted, 20-20 KHz
  • Power consumption: 200 watts
  • Fuse: 3AG slow blow type - 2.5 Amp for 120VAC 1.25 Amp for 240 VAC
  • Weight: 32 lbs
  • Dimensions: 17” W x 15” D x 5” H
