The Hafl er P3100 is a 2-channel power amplifi er that is equally at home with the most discerning audio-phile as with the most demanding studio recording engineer.

David Hafl er pioneered the use of MOSFETs during the 1970’s as a means to approach the even-order sonic character of tubes while transiti oning to the more practi cal side of discrete solid-state electron-ics. Over the years, his designs have proven to be extremely fault-tolerant even in abusive situati ons. This sturdiness enables the amplifi er to drive reacti ve speaker loads without the performance-degrading sound penalti es imposed by elaborate protecti on schemes. Lateral MOSFETs were designed specifi cally for linear audio amplifi cati on with their high speed and superior sonic characteristi cs compared to the verti cal MOSFETs or bipolar output transistors used by many other amplifi er makers. Inside the P3100 is the latest refi nement of the trans•nova (TRANSconductance Nodal Voltage Amplifi er, US Patent 4,467,288) circuit that was developed by industry guru Jim Strickland. The trans•nova circuit squeezes the most out from every component to reduce the gain stages down to three in lieu of the fi ve typically employed by others. The shorter path results in a much more open-sounding and realisti c sound stage.

In this latest iterati on, a toroidal power transformer has been introduced. This has a lower output imped-ance and produces far less noise than a conventi onal E-lam transformer. The result is a ti ghter, more de-fi ned bott om end. As well, toroidal transformers are inherently self-shielding which reduces the amount of potenti al low frequency and recti fi er noise introduced into the audio signal path. Passive convecti on cooling with over-sized heatsinks surround the amplifi er eliminati ng the need for a fan, thus enabling the P3100 to be used in the most inti mate installati ons. The front panel includes individual level adjustments to off set room imbalances, signal presence and ballisti c LED metering along with indicators for faults due to excessive heat or short circuits. A soft start power-on switch protects loudspeakers from turn on tran-sients that could reduce lifespan. The rear panel sports a choice of XLR and gold plated RCAs for greater fl exibility. Output connecti ons feature gold-plated binding posts that can adapt to all popular speaker cable sizes. To address the internati onal usage, the P3100 is equipped with a dual-voltage toroidal power transformer with selector switch from 115V and 230V.

In use the Hafl er P3100 is rich in detail, depth of fi eld and musicality. With 150 watt s of available power per channel at 8 Ohms and 200 watt s at 4 Ohms, the P3100 has plenty of headroom to drive the most power-hungry loudspeakers. Bridged in mono, 400 watt s are available for sub-woofers or as a matched pair for larger 2-channel setups.
