The Zanden Model 9600mk2 operates in pure Class A (for 60 watts), in which it is a fully balanced push-pull design from input to output and it uses Zanden's original Direct Coupled circuit. The output transformers are constructed with Finemet cores.

Classic Series

Even compared to live music, Zanden's amplifiers produce a natural sound. People describe Zanden's products as "quiet". The quality of the actual sound and the contrast between its varied elements provide a calmness that compels you to listen. Instead of consciously listening, your body directly perceives an acoustic field. You lose yourself in the music and in its glory, you recognize something new, something you had never noticed before.

Originality

Zanden first introduced a stereo phono preamplifier with selectable equalizing characteristics in 1997. Through innovative developments, Zanden has advanced digital and analog products.

Improvements

While determining the value of traditional circuits used in vacuum tube amplifiers, Zanden looks for areas where these older technologies can be improved. Zanden knows well that our products are solely judged on the unique circuit using both new and old technologies without prejudice. As a result, Zanden has been awarded many patents, both domestically and internationally, for their unique circuits, and Zanden has achieved a level of audio reproduction.

Collaboration

With regard to sound and vibration measures, Zanden has collaborated with material manufacturers to actively test and apply new materials to their products. By carefully applying these special materials one by one to different components, Zanden can improve the clarity of the recorded music. Zanden does not consider the design of the products solely as electronics. Like the great Stradivari or Guarneri violins, they are instruments for performing music and should be treated as works of art that are proudly displayed. With this in mind, Zanden designs each product to easily fit into any decor and to have a beautiful appearance.

Thoroughly researched

Each product is meticulously crafted by skilled craftsmen. As part of the final stage of the manufacturing process, each unit undergoes rigorous examination. Of course, high-precision measuring equipment is used for this purpose. In addition, each unit undergoes a thorough listening evaluation by an experienced listener with a thousand hours of concert experience, and necessary adjustments are then made. This process ensures that Zanden delivers only the highest quality products. It also ensures that the finish of our products is of the best quality.

Casing

All casing work is done by local Japanese craftsmen. The stainless steel casing is made from a single plate using traditional methods to achieve the final shape and is hand-polished to a beautiful mirror finish. The surface of Zanden's machined aluminum panels has a beautiful texture that can only be achieved by skilled specialists.
