The Soul of Our Amplifiers: The Octave Output Transformer

At Octave, we believe that true music lovers make no compromises. That’s why we develop and manufacture all our power transformers, output transformers, and MC step-up transformers in-house. Above all, the custom-designed output transformer is the heart of our tube amplifiers.

The output transformer is a crucial component in a tube amplifier. It serves as the bridge between the power stage and the speakers, playing a decisive role in shaping the sound quality, dynamics, and transparency of the audio. Unlike standard transformers, which are often purchased out of necessity, we design our own output transformers – specifically tailored for each model – with one goal in mind: delivering an unparalleled listening experience.

Our output transformers provide:

• A wide frequency spectrum – Capturing every detail, from the delicate nuances of a piano performance to the deep bass of a double bass, with absolute accuracy.
• Minimal distortion – Even at high volumes, the music remains pure and uncolored.
• Optimal signal quality – Ensuring the amplifier effortlessly delivers power to the speakers without energy loss or degradation in musicality.

The Octave In-House Transformer Winding Process:

Since Octave originated from a transformer manufacturing background, we have the expertise to develop our own transformers and customize them specifically for our amplifiers.

• We only use high-temperature and high-voltage resistant winding wires made of high-purity copper as well as low-loss core materials. To enhance long-term stability, our transformers are vacuum-impregnated or encapsulated. Magnetic shielding eliminates interference.

Through these measures, we maintain full control over the performance and reliability of our amplifiers. This not only makes Octave amplifiers legendary for their musical finesse but also for their durability and stability.
