How does the Madison Amplifier relate to CH Precision?

The Madison Amplifier was developed through direct engineering collaboration with CH Precision. It uses the same bipolar output devices found in CH Precision's M10 Reference Amplifier, and the topology, power strategy, and device selection were shaped by the same engineering team.

What is the difference between stereo, mono, and bi-amp modes?

In stereo mode, Madison functions as a compact two-channel amplifier. In mono mode, a single chassis handles one channel with increased output power into lower impedances. In bi-amp mode, both channels drive separate driver sections of a compatible loudspeaker.

Can I use the Madison Amplifier with the Madison Streamer?

Yes, the Madison Amplifier pairs naturally with the Madison Streamer. Connect the Streamer's balanced XLR or single-ended RCA outputs directly to the Amplifier for a complete, compact, high-performance system.

Why an external power supply?

The external switch-mode power supply isolates the mains voltage from the amplifier's core electronics, reducing interference and allowing the compact chassis to focus entirely on amplification. It provides high current capacity essential for dynamic, articulate performance.

Wattson Madison Amplifier

A compact Class A/B power amplifier developed in collaboration with CH Precision, delivering reference-level performance.

The Madison Amplifier was developed through direct engineering collaboration between Wattson and CH Precision. It combines a low-feedback Class A/B linear circuit, a robust regulated external power supply, and a fully symmetrical discrete amplification stage in a compact form. The same bipolar output devices used in CH Precision's M10 Reference Amplifier ensure predictable behavior and harmonic integrity across demanding loudspeaker loads.

What it solves

Engineered to deliver accurate sound in real rooms, not just anechoic chambers.

CH Precision collaboration

Developed with the same engineering team behind CH Precision's reference electronics, using identical bipolar output devices from the M10 Reference Amplifier.

Configurable operation

Supports stereo, mono, and bi-amp modes via rear-panel switches, adapting to different loudspeakers and evolving system requirements.

Fully symmetrical discrete design

From balanced XLR or single-ended RCA input through to the output stage, the circuit remains fully symmetrical and fully discrete for structural consistency.

Swiss billet aluminum chassis

Machined from solid aluminum billet for electromagnetic shielding, mechanical rigidity, and thermal stability. Manufactured locally using sustainable practices.
