Thank you for purchasing this Cinénova Grande reference
amplifier designed to satisfy your audiophile needs for music sers are able to enjoy
enjoyment. The Cinénova Grande is conceived to reproduce"true to pure music, untainted by components distortion.
life" music as it was originally recorded, without tempering, coloration or
compression.
Earthquake Engineers, driven by their desire for excellence,
pushed the envelop beyond its limits. They designed the "bi-file" toroidal
transformer circuit witch allows five separate power supplies (one for
each channel) to be magnetically coupled to one single primary 4KVA
transformer. The 99% efficient power supply permits large amount of
voltage to flow through with near nil heat losses.
The "Alpha One" is a monaural 1000 watts amplification/power
block, used in both the 5-channel and 7-channel Cinénova grande
amplifiers. The "Alpha One" blocks are individually removable using the
Earthquake patented "EZXS" system, without the need to dismantle the
rest of the amplifier. Channel separation exceeds the norms of 90
decibels and stretches it to 110 decibels.
"Sounding good" and "looking good" are both integral
characteristics of a Cinénova Grande amplifier. The elegant industrial
design is only surpassed by the sturdy chassis upon which the amplifier
is built, 12 gauge steel is shaped to house the "Alpha One" modules and
transformer. The chassis is beautifully faced with an 8 mm aluminum
plate, hand engraved and available in both Black and Platinum finish.

From our home to your home... Thank you.
Like the finer things in life, the Cinénova Grande was conceived
with love for details, hunger for power, and gratifying grace;
consequently ranking it “at the top” in the realm of High Fidelity.
Most of home theater systems sold to consumers integrate low
power amplifier / receiver units, normally not exceeding 150 Watts per
channel. However, professional theater systems employ individual
components which provide the best separation and potentially a lot
more power. Audiophiles agree that an audio amplifier is the heart of
any system; It must be able to meet the demands of the softest musical
passage to the thundering special effects of a movie, without sacrificing
audio quality.
The Cinénova Grande’s untainted sonic quality is only matched
by its enormous power and stringent technical performance. The
finesse of high-fidelity audio, combined with the mastery of multi-
channel amplification, make the Cinénova Grande the cornerstone for a
high-end home theater setup. This amplifier caters to both the music
afficionado and the home cinema buff. After all, faithful reproduction of
music is our business.
