Utilizes advanced GaN transistor technology for superior efficiency and reduced audio distortions.
Offers versatile power configurations: up to 160W per channel in stereo or 400W in mono mode.
Features high-quality CNC-machined aluminum chassis with gold-plated connectors for durability.
SMSL has unveiled the VMV A1 Pro, an advanced compact stereo power amplifier that leverages Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistor technology to deliver exceptional performance. This latest iteration combines cutting-edge components with a high-efficiency architecture, setting a new benchmark for both stereo and bridged mono configurations.

At the heart of the VMV A1 Pro are Infineon GaN FET transistors, which offer superior switching speeds and energy efficiency compared to traditional silicon-based transistors. Operating at a switching frequency of up to 1 MHz, the A1 Pro significantly reduces phase distortions and switching noise, resulting in a transparent and dynamic sound quality. This high-frequency operation not only enhances audio precision but also minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring a pristine listening experience.
The amplifier is versatile in its performance modes, providing 160 watts per channel at 4 ohms or 85 watts at 8 ohms in stereo mode. In bridged mono mode, it delivers up to 400 watts at 4 ohms or 250 watts at 8 ohms, making it suitable for a wide range of speaker configurations. This flexibility allows audiophiles to integrate the A1 Pro into both minimalist two-channel setups and more elaborate multi-channel systems with ease.
Designed for both aesthetics and functionality, the VMV A1 Pro features a CNC-machined aluminum chassis that remains cool during operation, thanks to its GaN-based topology and optimized internal layout. The amplifier is equipped with premium gold-plated connectors for enhanced durability and signal integrity. Additionally, the inclusion of the PGA2311 analog volume control chip ensures precise and low-noise volume adjustments, further refining the overall audio performance.
With a retail price of $495 USD, the SMSL VMV A1 Pro is now available, offering audiophiles a high-performance, compact amplifier that marries innovative GaN technology with robust engineering. Its advanced technical specifications and versatile connectivity options make it a compelling choice for those seeking both quality and flexibility in their audio setups.
