General description<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The Merrill Audio Element 116 monoblock power amplifiers combine advanced technology with stylish design. They use Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistors, known for their speed and efficiency. This results in detailed and accurate reproduction of music. The feedback-free design contributes to a transparent and natural sound. The cabinet is finished in high-gloss nickel with rose gold accents, providing an elegant look. The amplifiers feature high-quality components, such as rhodium-plated power connections and pure copper speaker terminals. They are designed to drive a wide range of speakers and offer powerful and controlled sound reproduction. The Element 116 amplifiers are suitable for listeners looking for a combination of technical sophistication and aesthetic appeal. <\/span><\/div>\n
Background information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The Merrill Audio Element 116 was designed with maximum transparency and speed in mind, using the proprietary ZXOL amplifier platform with no global feedback. The design team led by Merrill Wettasinghe chose extremely fast GaN FET transistors and a fully balanced architecture. The enclosure is made of solid aluminum for optimal shielding and vibration damping. <\/span><\/div>\n
Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Merrill Audio was founded in 2011 by Merrill Wettasinghe in New Jersey, USA. Before starting Merrill Audio, Wettasinghe worked as an engineer at companies such as Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems. Merrill Audio developed a range of products including monoblocks, stereo amplifiers and preamplifiers. The company uses GaN transistors, chassis milled from solid aluminum and transformerless power supplies, among others. Several models of the brand bear designations such as Element 118, Element 116 and Element 114. Merrill Audio products are manufactured in the United States. The company cites phase coherence, speed and low noise levels as design goals for its electronics. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
