Pathos Logos
Pathos Logos: Integrated amplifier (HiDac Optional)
Close to the spirit that has animated since its origin has always been involved in the search for new solutions and improvement of its machines for Music.
E with this approach that Pathos after more than ten years after the introduction of the integrated Pathos Logos presents its evolution MKII.
Pathos is not usual to introduce updated versions of its models except in the presence of substantial and meaningful new ideas to offer its loyal customers and in general to all lovers of good music.
Indeed behind the usual original design the new Logos MKII hide the introduction of a series of new solutions some thought in order to further enhance the sound of the amplifier and others to meet the demand for versatility and practicality that a demanding clientele pretends that is also present in a high-end device.

Pathos Cinema X
Pathos Cinema X – 5+1 Integrated Amplifier
There is a section of the audiophile community who is gradually turning towards home cinema and five-channel sound.
However, this move often includes several compromises on the stereo sound or requires even two different systems. With their new integrated amplifier, Pathos dares to prove that it is possible to integrate high-performance stereo and surround sound in one product.
Music lovers now have the possibility of watching movies using one only amplifier without sonic compromise.
Equally, those buying the Cinema-X just for listening to music will not be disappointed either!
LINE MAGNETIC LM-211IA
LM-211IA- Integrated Amplifier – Push Pull EL34 – 2x32W
The Line Magnetic integrated amplifier LM-211IA is a push-pull amplifier with 4x EL34 tubes in Class AB amplification and delivers 2x15W in triode mode and 2x32W in ultra-linear mode. It has 4 balanced line inputs and 4/8Ω output groups.
The rear-illuminated front panel meter is used to adjust polarization of the tubes. The use of high-quality components (Realcap capacitors, ALPS potentiometer) wired in the air, for the most part, is the guarantee of exemplary reliability. Its transformers output are of EI type, specially designed for power supply. The LM-211IA delivers dynamic, rich and natural sound.
LINE MAGNETIC LM-845IA
LM-845IA – Integrated Amplifier – Single Ended 845 – 2x22W
The LM-845 is a quality upgrade of the old LM-518 amplifier. It delivers twenty-two watts per channel, Single Ended design, Pure Class A Integrated Stereo Amplifier with 845 output power tubes. The drivers are 6P3P tubes, the capacitors are Multicap, American MIT Coupling Capacitors, German MCAP Coupling Capacitors,
All tube Integrated with 12AX7 input tubes for voltage amplification, EL34 driver tubes, 5AR4 rectifier tubes and 845 output tubes. Driver tubes 6P3P can also be replaced by different kinds of driver tubes and you can select which tubes you prefer judging by different sounds. Well selected and matched tubes. No matter it is the Pre-stage or power stage of tubes we select and choose the best matching ones to use on the same unit of the amplifier to get the best sound quality out of it.
Different from other inputs Pre-In offers you a possibility to connect to some other Preamplifier so that you can the LM-845IA as a power amplifier.
User bias control has been used for bias adjustment and one meter has been added to the front plate to allow you to monitor bias with ease. External Hum Balance adjustment for sound adjustment.
Specially designed Toroid transformers made of Z11 Core for power supply and two Japanese Audio grade EI types of output transformers with wide bandwidth are applied. All transformers and chokes are encapsulated and installed separately on the amplifier to avoid and lower the disturbance between each other.
Pathos Adrenalin
Pathos Adrenalin
The Adrenalin amplifier represents the point of arrival of the INPOL (“Inseguitore a Pompa Lineare” – Linear Pump Tracker) concept.
The essence of such an apparatus is that of a tube amplifier featuring a very sensitive and refined timbre, combined with a surprising and amazing output capacity.
It really seems that Pathos designers and technicians achieved their goal: an iron fist concealed in a velvet glove.
InPol (Inseguitore Pompa Linear – Linear Pump Follower) is a system patented by Pathos Acoustics which has enjoyed great success and won many awards.
Inpol devices have a special sonic personality obtainable only by means of this particular circuit design – fully balanced in Class A using a single solid-state component in follower configuration, with high current gain and with voltage gain together. The valve amplifier amplifies the input signal voltage and InPol supplies the current to drive the loudspeakers without any further amplification. In this way, the signal is entrusted to the valves and becomes a true copy of the original, with all the quality, purity and harmonic content of the original.
This technology allows an increase in the theoretical output in pure Class A of between 25% and 50% together with a low output impedance which is fundamental for the damping factor and further improved by the double InPol.

LINE MAGNETIC LM-88IA
LM-88IA – Integrated Amplifier – Push Pull KT88 – 2x42W
Forty-two watts per channel, Class AB Integrated Stereo Amplifier with KT88 output power tubes, 6CL8A and 12BH7 input tubes. Tubes we selected for the amplifier is Electro Harmonix 12BH7, Mullard 6CL8A and JJ Electronics KT88.
Well selected and matched tubes. No matter it is the Pre-stage or power stage of tubes we select and choose the best matching ones to use on the same unit of the amplifier to get the best sound quality out of it.
LM-88IA Amplifier can operate in two different ways Auto-biased or Fixed Bias. You can select the one you prefer. Power output for Auto-bias mode is 45 watts while for fixed bias it is 30 watts per channel. Once worked in Auto-bias mode it outputs a more warmth sound and go near to the way of Class A operation.
Different from other inputs Pre-In offers you a possibility to connect to some other Preamplifier so that you can the LM-88IA as a power amplifier.
Specially designed Toroid transformers made of Z11 Core for power supply and two Japanese Audio grade EI types of output transformers with wide bandwidth are applied. All transformers and chokes are encapsulated and installed separately on the amplifier to avoid and lower the disturbance between each other.

Pathos Classic One
Pathos Classic One – Integrated amplifier
After having won over the international audiophile community with state-of-the-art reference amplifiers, to conceive a product with a set price point as the main design limit has been a true challenge to Pathos.
The Classic One project was initiated to transfer, in a more affordable amplifier, all the know-how and expertise acquired developing reference products.
Classic One represents a new standard in its price category: it successfully blends in a single chassis a preamplifier and power amplifier, completely separated from each other and provided with their own individual power supplies.
The pre-stage – or, better, the preamplifier – is purely tube, balanced, pure Class A, extremely low noise, with high intrinsic linearity and without any feedback. It provides an exquisitely tube sound in terms of transparency, air, harmonics and refinement… in one word, musicality.
The power stage is a solid state power amplifier, high bias current, Class A/AB in order to adequately drive every load. It provides the sound with speed and dynamics, without influencing the tube nature of the sound. The volume control is motorised and remote controlled, the remote itself is in solid wood. Power supplies are over-dimensioned and stabilized.
Selected components, pure silver Pathos signal cable wiring, gold plated terminals, high-quality materials and refinement at its highest standard are additional benefits provided with the Classic One.
Together with such sound performance and overall quality, the Classic One is offered at a price that clearly demonstrates a philosophy of value for money. This is possible thanks to an aimed design approach, coupled with extremely accurate engineering and superior aesthetic form.
