Elementi Audio Tungsten 1,000 Watt DSP Power Amp Module

About The Elementi Audio Tungsten 1,000 Watt DSP Power Amp Module

The Tungsten 1,000 Watt DSP Power Amp Module is the middle amplifier in the Elementi Audio range and is used to power speakers like the Firebird, and Phoenix and subwoofers like the Basalt, Onyx, and Onyx Slim. All Elementi speakers and subwoofers are powered by fully digital amplifiers and benefit from floating 32 point DSP processing, digital crossovers, FIR filters with correction in the frequency and time domains, look forward speaker protection, high flow PASCAL amplifiers and high quality D/A converters. PASCAL amplifiers have proven to be incredibly reliable and offer a higher sonic performance.

This 1,000 Watt Amp Module is a passive design which ensures it is silent in the cinema. Most cinemas require between 6,000-23,000W of amplifier power to ensure 3-6dB of dynamic headroom, yet these highly efficient amplifiers can be run off a single power circuit.

Traditionally home cinema speakers are wired back to amplifiers located in a cupboard or rack. This creates a significant barrier to high quality sound, as the electrical properties of the cables significantly change the longer the cable is run around the cinema and through walls. Ideally speakers should be located within 3m of the amplifier. Rather than conform to the norm, Elementi Audio was designed to provide the ultimate in flexible cinema engineering, while also being electrically uncompromised.

Elementi Amplifiers are mounted vertically against the cinema walls and hidden behind fabric or in joinery. Audio signals are run either over balanced audio cables the same as for concert grade professional equipment or via Dante™ digital audio for optimal performance. This ensures that there are no electrical loses in the system.

An added benefit of this type of system design is that heat and heat related problems are removed from the rack or cupboard, where ventilation is often a challenge. Most cinema equipment can then be housed in a space of no more than 1,200mm.

There are many reasons why Elementi Audio is quickly becoming is the benchmark of Home Cinema, but it is their fundamental dedication to uncompromised design that shines through.

Our Review

The Elementi Audio Tungsten 1,000 Watt DSP Power Amp Module is all about delivering effortless power with a sense of refinement that makes cinema sound feel truly alive. Sitting right in the sweet spot of the Elementi range, it drives speakers like the Firebird and Phoenix, along with subwoofers such as the Basalt and Onyx, with ease and authority. What stands out most isn’t just the wattage, but the way it creates an experience that’s both powerful and quietly precise - literally silent, thanks to its passive design, which keeps the focus on the soundtrack rather than the hardware. Mounted neatly out of sight, it helps strip away the usual barriers to great sound by keeping amplifiers close to the speakers, meaning the performance stays pure, dynamic, and uncompromised. It’s a clever mix of smart engineering and genuine listening pleasure, the kind of amplifier that makes you forget about the tech and just get lost in the cinema magic.
