Octave V 70 SE Integrated Amplifier

The Octave V 70 SE is a line-level integrated amplifier that delivers 70 watts per channel of peak output power, building on the design lineage of the acclaimed V 40 SE but with greater control and dynamics. Housed in an optimized chassis derived from the flagship V 80, the V 70 SE benefits from enhanced shielding for its sensitive circuits, protecting them from transformer-related interference, while a specially developed low-noise transformer ensures clean and stable power delivery.

Its output stage features two 6550 JJ power tetrodes per channel, though Octave’s Bias Control and Monitoring System allows for easy tube swapping with other pin-compatible types. This flexibility enables listeners to tailor the amplifier’s sonic character to their preferences and experiment with the latest tube technologies. The amplifier’s enhanced pentode configuration ensures rock-solid stability, driving even difficult speaker loads down to 2 ohms without compromise, aided by a precision Single Impedance Output Transformer.

Like all Octave amplifiers, the V 70 SE incorporates advanced power management with soft-start electronics, comprehensive protection circuits, and innovative Eco Mode to minimize power consumption when idle. Practical features such as a bias display and adjustment system, monitor/record output, home theater bypass, pre-out connections, and compatibility with Octave’s Black Box and Super Black Box upgrades round out its versatility.

The result is an integrated amplifier that balances power, precision, and refinement—delivering natural musicality with dynamic authority, while offering the reliability, flexibility, and craftsmanship expected of Octave’s renowned amplifier designs.
