The Jubilee Mono Ultimate is not merely an advancement; it is a revolution in the landscape of high-end amplifiers. With immense pride, Octave unveils this remarkable successor to its renowned Jubilee Mono SE model. In the past, the introduction of the Jubilee Mono was a significant milestone, showcasing a commanding 250 W output and reliable performance through Octave Power Management. Its evolution continued with the Jubilee Mono SE in 2016, boosting performance with eight KT 120 tubes delivering 400 W per channel. However, 2023 heralds a new era with the Jubilee Mono Ultimate.

This latest model represents the pinnacle of Octave's engineering expertise, embodying a sophisticated amplifier design with groundbreaking technologies. At its core are eight KT 170 tubes, yielding an astounding 440 W per channel, powered by a colossal "super transformer." The underlying philosophy of the Ultimate series is the radical enhancement of both the bass and power range, expanding into the seemingly inaudible frequencies. This innovation impacts all listening experiences, with the midrange notably benefitting from a robust and precise bass foundation. Such a deep bass integration fosters remarkable physicality, spatial depth, and the rhythm of musical elements akin to live performances.

Crafting this revolution involved overcoming a significant challenge: enhancing the power bandwidth without increasing distortion. Andreas Hofmann, the brain behind Octave, orchestrated the creation of a novel output transformer and a complementary driver stage tailored for the Jubilee Mono Ultimate. This achievement virtually eliminates distortion, offering an unparalleled dynamic range. Octave's steadfast commitment to making custom transformers in-house has enabled them to chart this unprecedented path.
