With the launch of the new amplifier, CES 2005 was an extremely exciting event for us. The Tact team was thrilled to meet and talk to the many dedicated Tact users that flew in from all parts of the world.

The first official commentary regarding the new amp comes to us from Stereotimes.com:

"It was a quite a nice surprise to see TacT back in the Alexis Park high-end habitat and away from the convention center. Tact's chief designer Radomir Bozovich (back right) takes time out to pose for a photo with devoted Tact users John Hsu (right) and Key Kim (behind me). This was indeed a special occasion for it was the unveiling of Tact's all new "Boz" reference line of multi-channel digital amplifiers shown below (price TBA).

This very well laid out, dual-chassis design, boasts separate 110/220 V module with its own line conditioning; a totally new design based on LVDS (low voltage balanced signal technology). Sporting the latest Texas Instrument floating point DSPs for computer-less crossover design this new statement in digital design purports frequency resolution at the equivalent of 1 Hz and internal crossover versatility from 10 Hz and 24 KHz. This sophisticated crossover filter package offers low-pass, high-pass and band-pass design with filter slopes of 6 to 60 dB/octave. Band-pass filters can be designed with different slopes at the low and high cutoff frequency.

Upgradeability of up to 16-channels of sophisticated digital amplification, rated at 200/watts, has finally arrived (ever heard of 11.5 surround sound? Neither have I, but if it does show up, Tact will be ready). Other features include external clock sync capability (Big Ben owners rejoice) and one-touch-channel identification in case the "Boz" sees duty in a multi-channel, multi-driver setup you can immediately identify where each amp is connected through the touch of a button located on the front panel. Though slender in size the weight of each module is about 75 lbs due to separate specially wound, heavy duty torodial transformers for each channel."
