1965 -“ Carvers earliest years of validating the latest audio technologies a\
nd looking for unconventional approaches to amplifier design
The year was 1972. And a graduate student named Bob Carver was about to turn an ordinary classroom assignment into the beginning of an
iconic brand of home audio products. That assignment-to build a machine that would simulate earthquakes-became the springboard for a
four-decade run of innovative firsts and onlys that have continually raised the benchmark for the entire home audio industry. And while Bobs
history includes the launch of dozens of now legendary speakers, the real roots of his company lie in the development of high performance
amplifiers, preamps and one-of-a-kind receivers. Those earlier icons have lead to todays newest heroes-the remarkable, high-performance
401 Series featured in this brochure. Each 401 Series product represents the latest thinking on the business of power from the company that
has made the subject of power its main business. And, every 401 Series component is Sunfire Optimized-„˘-meaning it is purpose-built to work
best with any of our equally impressive speaker lines.
Welcome to the all-new 401 Series. Welcome to Sunfire.
