Jeff Rowland imaging, staging, and musicality in a beautifully crafted monoblock chassis capable of capturing the often elusive music and theater experience with grace and authority. Model 201 delivers a compelling musical experience with a linear frequency extension that ranges from a deep pitched bass to a textured treble, with rippling harmonics and nuanced low level resolution. This work of art, in both sight and sound, is a true Rowland.

Housed in an elegant and compact chassis milled from aircraft-grade Aluminum ingots, the Model 201 monoblock power amplifier has been created to exacting JRDG artistic and engineering standards. The advanced green technology that delivers its refined performance, make the Model 201 monoblock power amplifier ideal for the most sophisticated stereo and multi-channel audio systems at a real world price.

Model 201 features an innovative fully balanced Differential Mode transformer-coupled input and output circuit, from its Neutrik XLR input to the Cardas output binding post. In conjunction with its totally sealed and non resonant chassis, the architecture is pivotal to the 201’s Elimination of ground loop noise, EMI, and its 90dB common rejection ratio. Optional RCA to XLR adapters insure invariant gain and input impedance for unbalanced sources.

Each monoblock chassis sports a dual stage regulated integrated high voltage switch mode power supply that provides nimble and clean power to an advanced ICEpower 500 ASP power conversion module, for a full 250 watts of power over 8 ohms-doubling into 4 ohms. A peak current of 35 amps, and a damping factor of 1000 control with speakers ranging from moderately sized electrostatic and bipolars to high efficiency, full range dynamic speakers.

For supreme musical refinement and authority, an external PC-1 active power factor correction (PFC) rectifier and conditioner can be connected to each Model 201 chassis. (Requires internal setup to 240V operations).
