The integrated amplifier Audio Analogue AACento is built according to a zero-feedback scheme - both in the preamplification section and in the output stages. The signal circuits use ceramic resistors of increased size - this reduces the total heat. Switching of sources is carried out using electromagnetic relays, and the precision digital volume control (but the signal in chain always remains analog) does not use operational amplifiers. The linear power supply contains a toroidal transformer with a power of 480 watts. Cooling radiators for the output stage transistors are located inside the case.
