Introducing the Maraschino Module Development Platform!

Act by May 12th to get the new Maraschino Module and Development Platform as an incentive for participating in the Maraschino Video Series Kickstarter campaign.

(Allentown, PA – May 8, 2017) The Digital Amplifier Company, known for their Cherry, Cherry ULTRA, Cherry MONO, Cherry MONO ULTRA, and now the Maraschino series of high-performance amplifiers, is introducing the new Maraschino Module and Development Platform as an incentive for their Kickstarter campaign according to Tommy O’Brien, the company owner. Current customers and those interested in the company’s products who participate as backers in this campaign get access to purchase new DAC products not available to the general public at a significantly lower price than will be offered when these products are in production, according to O’Brien.

Technical Information
The Maraschino Module Development Board is for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to evaluate and develop applications for our new modules. Some more sophisticated DIYers may also be interested.

Power is the rail (30-60VDC), 12VDC, and +/-5VDC. The modules are basically a miniaturized Maraschino board with external low-voltage power supplies. They are only 1.8 x 2.0 x 0.5 inches and can drive up to 1000W (music peak, thermally limited, 1.8Ω load). SNR is 118dB. Low impedance output for damping factors up to 2000. Sonics are smooth, fast, and clean, like all Maraschino Amplifiers. DC-100kHz bandwidth. These modules can be socketed for upgradeability up to 400W into 4Ω.
The development package incentive reward includes:
  • development board
  • two Maraschino Modules
  • 48V external power supply
  • documentation package

Where We Stand
In a world of “me too” ncore and ice power module based amps, O’Brien says the Maraschino Module stands ready to set their partner OEM’s products apart as future-proof, forward-thinking, sonically optimized contenders. “The competition uses modulation techniques that are wildly affected by speaker reactance and with gobs of negative feedback to achieve good bench measurements into a dummy load resistor. The result is ringing and high-frequency hash much like the mega-feedback Class-AB amps of the 1980s. Our module offers amazing bench measurements without massive feedback or phase compensation networks. The Maraschino difference is simply better sonics. We have successfully eliminated the harshness associated with other Class-D amps.”

Maraschino Module Development Platform
The Maraschino Module Development Platform is a stereo amplifier. It’s basically a life support system for the modules, providing the necessary power supplies and connections. The board is powered by either a linear power transformer or external DC power supply.  A schematic (and bill of materials) is provided making it easier for developers to design of their own “amplifier motherboard.” The modules are socketed, and there are both XLR and RCA inputs on the board.  DAC also offers a speaker connection harness for easy testing (see photos).

About the Digital Amplifier Company
Digital Amplifier Company was founded in 1996 after several years of developing switching amplifiers for audio. In 2006, the company introduced its own finished product developed entirely in-house, the DAC4800A. What followed was the Cherry, Cherry ULTRA, Cherry MONO, Cherry MONO ULTRA, and now the Maraschino series. The digital Amplifier Company provides advanced amplifier technology built from the ground up for your listening pleasure, one unit at a time.
