Background information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

The design team, led by Zsolt Huszti, focuses on natural and undistorted sound. The housing is solidly built, often aluminum, to minimize vibration.

Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Heed Audio is a Hungarian company that designs and manufactures high-quality audio equipment. The company has revived the Ion Obelisk, a compact amplifier from the 1980s, by modernizing its design and internal components. In addition, Heed Audio has developed the Elixir integrated amplifier, which combines four main functions: a dedicated output preamplifier, a powerful power amplifier, a phono preamplifier for MM cartridges and a high-quality headphone amplifier. The company uses Transcap technology, a non-direct-coupled amplifier technology that uses an output capacitor to ensure fast and accurate power delivery to the speakers. Heed Audio manufactures its equipment by hand in Europe and pays attention to every detail, from the soldering of the circuit boards to the fine tuning of the volume knob. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
