Constellation Audio was founded on the premise that one cannot create something extraordinary through slavish adherence to established methods. When tradition is the best path. When new technology is necessary to achieve the performance they wanted, they invented it. When they found a radical circuit topology that delivered a substantial advance in sound quality, they used itConstellation Audio sought out the greatest names in audio engineering and industrial design, the creative minds behind many of history's greatest audio products. Audiophiles will recognize the names of audio engineers such as John Curl, Bascom King, Peter Madnick, and Demian Martin. They will also recognize the work of industrial designer Neal Feay, who is responsible for the look and feel of many of the highend audio industry's most distinctive products.

Constellation Audio Reference Series - Hercules II Stereo
|
|
500 watts per channel into 8 ohms:
Our 500-watt/8-ohm per-channel power rating for the Hercules II Stereo is actually pretty conservative; it’s really more like 550 watts. And 750 watts into 4 ohms, and a full 1 kW into 2 ohms. Thanks to its increased power supply capacitance and ample cooling capacity, the Hercules II Stereo drives low-impedance speakers with ease.

Constellation Audio Reference Series - Altair II Pre Amplifier
|
|
Line Stage Gain Module:
We build the Line Stage Gain Module’s balanced circuit from two mirror-imaged amplifiers, one for the positive half of the signal and the other for the negative half. Through the use of hand-matched, ultra-low-noise FETs and servo circuits, our engineers have achieved an essentially perfect balance between the positive and negative halves of the audio signal.
Fully balanced circuitry:

Constellation Audio Performance Series - Centaur II Stereo Power Amp
|
|
Centaur II Stereo
A state-of-the-art race car.
New power supply with 3 times the capacitance. Higher bias current for extended Class A operation. 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 800 into 2 ohms. Fully discrete balanced bridged circuitry for extraordinary fidelity. Larger, deep-fin heat sink for efficient cooling and outstanding reliability.
Think of Centaur II as a state-of-the-art race car with an upgraded engine. The amplification circuits are essentially the same as in the original Centaur, but the power supply is radically improved. Supply capacitance is now tripled, with 18 10,000-microfarad capacitors replacing the original six. With three times as much stored energy on tap, Centaur II now achieves even stronger deep bass response and more dramatic dynamics.

Constellation Audio Performance Series - Perseus Phono Pre Amplifier
|
|
Fully complementary circuitry:
The Perseus's balanced audio circuitry is essentially two mirror-imaged preamp circuits, one to amplify the positive half of the audio signal, the other to amplify the negative half. The fully balanced design cancels the effects of interference-an important capability considering the low level of the signals inside a phono preamp-and also increases slew rate and frequency response.

Constellation Audio Performance Series - Virgo III Pre Amplifier
|
|
Chassis-width, triple-transformer power supply:
The Virgo power supply design is borrowed directly from the Reference Series Altair preamp. This triple-transformer supply offers separate, isolated feeds for the left and right channels, as well as a separate feed for control circuits. Because each channel of audio cannot be affected by the power demands of the other (or of the control circuits), maximum sonic purity is achieved. The power supply now stretches the full width of the preamplifier, so the preamp section can sit directly atop the power supply.

Constellation Audio Inspiration Series - Mono 1.0 Power Amplifier
|
|
400 watts per channel into 8 ohms:
The Inspiration Monoblock not only delivers 400 watts into 8 ohms, it doubles that into 4 ohms -- and at a low 0.2% total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N), not the 0.5% or 1% at which many other amps are rated. No matter what speaker you have or how loudly you want to play it, the Inspiration Monoblock can drive it with ease.

Constellation Audio Inspiration Series - Preamp 1.0
|
|
Triple-transformer power supply:
The design of the power supply in the Inspiration borrows heavily from the Altair II and Virgo II. We chose R-core transformers to power the audio circuits because of their inherently low noise and low radiated magnetic energy -- and because they worked so well in our previous designs. There are separate R-core transformers for left and right channels. A conventional EI transformer powers the control circuits, so the sensitive audio circuits are well-isolated from the noise of the control circuits.
