"My philosophy is simply that audio power amplifiers should be as distortion free as possible, without severely compromising the performance of any other parameters" - G. Randy Slone

These ZUS Amplifiers represents our Reference Series for those who wishing to experience the highest ZUS Audio Engine™ performance. These amplifiers are designed with the TOTEM-POLE Output Topology. The ZUS Audio Engine™ is tuned for the ultimate High Definition Audio experience. Our Reference Series Amplifiers have Balanced XLR inputs as well as Un-Balanced RCA inputs.

The performance of these amplifiers are unmatched. Once auditioned, you will fully appreciate what supreme audio is all about. Incredible. Amazing. Stunning. Magnificent. The Power and the Glory.
