Listen with Confidence: Quad Artera Stereo Power Amplifier Specializes in Control, Stability, and Ultra-Low-Distortion Performance 

When driving your speakers, you want control, stability, musicality — and the confidence that your power amplifier will continue to deliver clean, unstinting current even when the dynamic peaks and transient response of the music you’re enjoying become taxing. These are the very aspects and conditions that were taken into account with the engineering of the Quad Artera stereo power amplifier, which adheres to the British hi-fi company’s tradition of control, accuracy, and extremely low distortion.

Indeed, with Artera feeding your speakers, it’s likely you’ll immediately notice the presence of more detail, richer tones, and truer spaces all because of its fastidious commitment to playing with nearly undetectable noise. Featuring a staggering 115dB signal-to-noise ratio, Artera personifies purity and transparency. Add when you consider it produces 140 watts per channel, there are few speakers it will not drive with ease and authority. 

Designed with patented current damping technology, the 33-pound Artera also boasts robust speaker terminals and a pair of balanced XLR inputs. Other measured specs include a total harmonic distortion figure of <0.003%. Backed by a three-year manufacturer warranty, Artera runs cool and performs brilliantly.

"The Quad Artera Stereo is a very fine amplifier, indeed, at a reasonable price. I would definitely put it on my short list in this power range."
 —Robert E. Greene, The Absolute Sound

"[The] Artera Play CD player/DAC/preamp and the Artera Stereo power amp...are so beautifully designed that it's a love-at-first-sight situation; we're in love with the idea of them before we even get to know them…”
