ASR Audio Systeme

Since 1980, the company ASR Audiosysteme Friedrich Schafer has attained a very successful and unique position in high-end market with the development and manufacture of powerful and musical high-end amplifiers.

The goal is to combine the harmonic rich, musical sound of tube-device with precision and sovereign power output of modern transistor amplifiers.

The EMITTER should unfold the music aliveness, the listening room should become transparent with complete ease in finest details reproduction. Also it should remain stable in driving very low efficiency or low impedance loudspeakers with sufficient power.

The Emitters sound much smooth, open, very detailed when compared to other conventional amplifiers, and much more stable under extreme listening conditions !
