Integrated amplifier Eleven Audio A390 is equipped with an electronic volume control based on a R2R resistive matrix. At the same time, it is possible to adjust the sensitivity of each input, allowing you to smoothly switch between different audio sources. The amplifier is based on a linear power supply with a powerful toroidal transformer.

The commutation of the integrated amplifier Eleven Audio A390 includes only analog inputs - balanced on XLR connectors and two unbalanced on RCA. Despite its compact size, the amplifier is versatile enough to work even with large acoustic systems, adhering to the "first watt" principle. The Eleven Audio A390 is capable of delivering 2 x 39 W with a load nominal impedance of 8 Ohms. The frequency range is extremely wide and extends from 1 Hz to 110 kHz (at the -1 dB level). The signal-to-noise ratio is 119 dB, and the slew rate is 26 V/μs.
