PS Audio Stellar S300 Power Amplifier
The S300 Amplifier is a full sized stereo power amplifier designed to unlock the true performance of your loudspeakers while remaining accessible and affordable. As the most attainable stereo power amplifier in the Stellar range, the S300 delivers authority, clarity, and musical realism across every genre. From deep, controlled bass to smooth, natural highs, it brings balance and energy to any hi fi system. At its core, the S300 pairs the speed and efficiency of a Class D output stage with the musical richness of the Stellar Class A Analog Cell.
This advanced hybrid design produces powerful dynamics, excellent linearity, and engaging rhythm while preserving tonal warmth and fine detail. The result is a sound that feels alive, spacious, and emotionally involving. The S300 reveals depth and texture hidden in your music library, allowing you to hear bass extension, layered detail, and a wide soundstage your speakers were always capable of delivering. Whether you are upgrading an existing system or building a new one, the S300 Amplifier offers high performance audio, strong speaker control, and long term listening enjoyment in a reliable stereo power amplifier.
Design
The Stellar S300 stereo power amplifier is a dual mono power amplifier capable of effortlessly driving demanding loudspeaker loads to concert levels. It combines the best of two worlds: ultra linear, high-current, Class D technology for the output stage; a discrete, Class A MOSFET based Analog Cell for the all-important input stage. The S300's rich, warm, and engaging sonic character comes from the Analog Cell. It's powerful, authoritative control over the loudspeaker stems from its high current, ultra-low impedance Class D output stage.
Application
The perfect choice for just about any loudspeaker, the S300 slips into any system, surprising and delighting even the most discriminating Audiophile. Rated at 140 watts per channel into 8Ω and 300 watts per channel into 4Ω, the S300 has plenty of horsepower for even the most demanding loudspeakers. Your musical library will open up in ways you might not have thought possible, revealing nuance and detail covered up by traditional amplifiers.
The Analog Cell
The connection between preamplifier and power amplifier is critical, for it is at this junction where most essential musical details are easily lost. Nothing in the design of a power amplifier is more important than its input stage when preserving music's finest nuances. In the S300, a unique topology, called the Analog Cell, has been employed to preserve the rich details found in music. The Analog Cell is the heart of the S300's musicality, where rich overlaid layers of music's inner details are preserved even in the most complex orchestral crescendos. The Analog Cell is a proprietary, fully differential, zero feedback, discrete, Class A MOSFET circuit, hand-tuned to capture the smallest micro dynamics without sacrificing the loudest macro dynamics music has to offer. The Analog Cell makes all the difference.
Output Stage
The Stellar S300 is a dual mono design. This means that each channel has its own, separate power supply. Each of the two channels is a complete and independent power supply and power amplification stage, based on a modern Class D ICE module, designed in Denmark. Class D output stages provide near-perfect linearity, low distortion, and high efficiency. Because Class D amplifiers require an output filter to remove their switching noise, they do not have frequency extremes into the many hundreds of thousands of Hertz. Depending on their design, modern Class D amplifiers, like the type used in Stellar, extend high frequencies to about 50kHz. Human hearing limitations are 20kHz, though most listeners rarely have hearing exceeding half that. The S300 provides excellent frequency extremes, low distortion, high efficiency, high damping factor, and a powerful output of 300 watts per channel into the most common loudspeaker loads of 4Ω.
