Quad Platina Integrated Amplifier

Quad Platina Integrated Amplifier

Bold in design and substantial in form, the Quad Platina Integrated delivers reference-grade sound, exceptional power, and peerless finesse. Typically Quad, yet offering a new timeless form, reimagined with crisp, modern intent, the Platina series retains the soul of its heritage while embracing today’s clean geometry, refined materials, and purposeful simplicity. An exercise in restraint and refinement, tactile machined aluminium knobs and subtle buttons flank a crisp TFT display, providing a tactile and visual focal point. The disciplined rear panel layout, with gold-plated connectors, speaks to both form and function, ensuring a premium user experience at every touchpoint. The result is strikingly contemporary.

Dual Mono Power

The engine of the flagship series, the Platina Integrated boasts a massive new power amplifier section, setting out its stall as a powerhouse of precision. A ‘dual mono’ class AB design offers 2 x 200W into 8 ohms (300W into 4 ohms) and delivers effortless authority with vast headroom and dynamic control. Engineered to drive even the most demanding loudspeakers, it combines muscular output with audiophile finesse, resolving the finest musical details with scale, grip, and composure.

Built with Bespoke Components and Care

Developed over a rigorous five-year period, the Platina Integrated was engineered from the ground up by Quad's trusted design team, using meticulously specified, high-grade components. Every element and configuration was selected or approved by 'ear' to ensure the Platina Integrated remained true to concept and Quad DNA. Notably, bespoke capacitors - developed exclusively for this model in collaboration with renowned specialist Wurth Elektronik, form an integral part of its distinctive design architecture.

A custom-designed 630VA high-power toroidal transformer with a large filter capacity in the power supply (44,000uF per channel) and cascaded voltage regulators in the analogue and digital sections upholds Quad’s renowned reputation for musical integrity. From the subtlest harmonic overtones to the full force of a dynamic crescendo, the Platina Integrated delivers music with extraordinary realism, dimensionality, and grace.

In-Built Phono Stage

Platina’s phono stage isn’t just included - it’s thoughtfully engineered. With selectable gain, MM/MC support, impedance control, and a JFET input design for ultra-low noise, it’s a serious inbuilt analogue front-end for vinyl enthusiasts who refuse to compromise.

High Fidelity & Roon Ready

Platina blends high-fidelity audio with everyday living - offering seamless TV integration via its HDMI ARC input. It’s a quiet gesture of convenience, made without compromise, for those who value movie night almost as much as they do their music.

Roon software is the world’s most refined digital ecosystem, consolidating stored digital files and streaming platforms into a single, searchable interface with bit-perfect resolution, seamless integration, and ultra-low jitter playback. And Platina is Roon Tested and ready to pair with serious network streamers.
