Octave V 40 SE Integrated Amplifier

The Octave V 40 SE is a 40-watt line-level integrated amplifier that continues the legacy of the acclaimed V 40 and V 50 models, combining Octave’s proven engineering with upgraded performance. Designed around an output stage with two 6550 JJ power pentodes per channel, the V 40 SE also offers flexibility through Octave’s Bias Control and Monitoring System, allowing easy use of other compatible tubes for fine-tuning sound character.

Built on Octave’s enhanced pentode configuration, the V 40 SE ensures absolute stability, effortlessly handling impedance mismatches and driving loads as low as 2 ohms. Its precision single-impedance output transformer contributes to this rock-solid performance, while the amplifier’s exceptional –110 dB signal-to-noise ratio makes it equally well-suited for both average-efficiency and high-efficiency loudspeakers.

The V 40 SE integrates Octave’s advanced features, including soft-start power management to extend tube life, comprehensive protection circuitry, Eco Mode for reduced energy consumption, and convenient bias adjustment. Connectivity is equally versatile, with a monitor/record output, home theater bypass, pre-out, and upgrade compatibility with Octave’s Black Box and Super Black Box external power supply modules.

With its clear, powerful bass foundation, captivating treble resolution, and reliable stability, the V 40 SE is a versatile, musical, and enduring choice for discerning listeners seeking Octave’s hallmark performance in a compact integrated amplifier.
