Thank you for your purchase of either the Trio P-200 Preamplifi er or the C-100 Control Amplifi er.
The P-200 Preamplifi er is a stereo, remote controlled high-end preamplifi er designed to provide great
performance in a minimalist high-end system. Unlike an ordinary preamplifi er, the P-200 is based
on PS Audio’s exclusive Gain Cell technology that has no internal volume control or attenuation of
the signal. Instead, Gain Cells adjust the actual gain of the preamplifi ers internal amplifi cation stage
resulting in near perfect performance.
The C-100 stereo Control Amplifi er is a dual mono Control Amplifi er, capable of driving nearly every
loudspeaker load with ease and beauty. The Trio Control Amplifi er is based on ICE power switching
amplifi cation for the output, and Gain Cell technology for the adjustable gain feature.
The C-100 has two high effi ciency digital amplifi cation stages that allow them to run cool to the touch
even while driving demanding loads and should offer years of trouble free performance of the highest
standards.
Power ratings for the C-100 are 100 watts rms into 8 Ohms, 200 watts rms into 4 Ohms at less than
0.1% THD. For musical peaks, the Trio C-100 can produce up to 150 watts per channel into 8 Ohms
and 300 watts per channel into 4 Ohms.
You should expect state of the art performance and sonics from any PS Audio product. The Trio
series products represent high value in terms of performance within their rated power levels and will
provide excellent results in either a two-channel or multi-channel environment.
