Audionet Expands Scientist Series with Mach Preamp and Schrödinger Mono Blocks

These new models continue the legacy of the brand’s highly acclaimed Heisenberg and Stern flagships, delivering the same high standard of engineering and sonic excellence but at a more accessible price point.

Designed from the ground up while retaining the DNA of their elite counterparts, the Mach and Schrödinger components showcase Audionet’s renowned Floating Panel Design. This patented construction technique isolates the chassis panels to minimise unwanted resonance and vibration-induced distortions, ensuring pristine signal integrity. The industrial aesthetics remain consistent with Hartmuth Esslinger's award-winning design language, lending these new models a striking yet purposeful visual identity.

Having made their first appearance in prototype form at Munich High-End 2024, the Mach Preamplifier and Schrödinger Mono Blocks have now undergone their final refinements.With production now in full swing, the first Australian deliveries have been completed, and stock is readily available for demonstration through authorised Audionet retailers.

The Mach Preamplifier shapes up as a technical tour de force, employing a dual mono circuit layout for superior channel separation. Enhanced discrete operational amplifier modules, borrowed from the Stern, are paired with state-of-the-art mica capacitors to ensure an uncoloured, highly transparent sound signature. Volume control is managed via a precision resistor network, regulated through electronic switches and an optical sensing system.

This DC-coupled design eliminates capacitors and coils from the signal path, maintaining an unbroken transmission of audio purity. The power supply features a total capacitance of 176,000 µF, utilising low-impedance capacitors with a silk dielectric for maximum performance stability.

Equally impressive, the Schrödinger Mono Block Amplifiers embody absolute channel separation, further enhanced by Audionet’s proprietary Ultra Linear Amplifier (ULA) technology. Designed with magnetically and capacitively optimised circuitry free from ferromagnetic materials, these amplifiers promise unmatched precision and musicality.

Their power delivery is equally formidable, featuring two encapsulated and decoupled 1,200 VA toroidal transformers dedicated to the power stage. A total capacitance of 160,000 µF ensures a steady and unyielding current flow, supporting output figures of 400 watts into 8 ohms, 750 watts into 4 ohms, and an astonishing 1,200 watts into 2 ohms. With a damping factor exceeding 10,000 at 100 Hz, it’s easy to see how the companies claim that these monoblocks exert absolute control over loudspeakers, delivering exceptional detail retrieval and an effortless dynamic range.

Both models have a two-year warranty and are available for audition through authorised Audionet dealers. The Audionet Mach Preamplifier is priced at A$47,950, while the Audionet Schrödinger Mono Block Amplifier is priced at A$92,500 for the pair. Global pricing is yet to be confirmed.
