Description

Engström Arne Mk2: A Masterpiece of Scandinavian Audio Engineering

The Engstrom Arne Mk2 integrated amplifier is named after a renowned Swedish jazz musician, symbolizing the blend of artistic inspiration and cutting-edge technology. This fully balanced 300B integrated stereo amplifier is a product of four years of intensive research and development, evolving from its initial 2018 launch to the sophisticated design we see today.

Innovative Design and Aesthetics

The Arne Mk2 reflects Engström’s commitment to both form and function, combining classic tube amplifier aesthetics with the brand’s signature curves and clean surfaces. Available in elegant all-black or all-white finishes, with a choice of clear or smoked glass, the Arne Mk2 stands out as much for its looks as for its performance.

Advanced Tube Configuration and Power

At its core, the Arne Mk2 features a push-pull configuration powered by four premium 300B tubes, selected from the best available on the market. These tubes work in harmony with a quartet of D3a driver/phase-splitter triodes, driven by a symmetrical DC-coupled design. This innovative approach ensures zero DC levels at the driver output, enabling direct connection to the power tubes’ grids with individual cathode bias. The result is an impressive 30 watts per channel, characterized by fast transient response, gripping dynamics, and exceptional clarity.

Sonic Excellence and Emotional Engagement

The Arne Mk2 is not just about technical prowess; it excels at creating expansive soundscapes with precise layering, making listeners feel deeply connected to the music. Whether it’s the subtle nuances of a jazz ensemble or the dynamic crescendos of a symphonic piece, the Arne Mk2 reproduces each note with faithfulness to pitch and a sense of presence that is truly immersive.

Practical Features and Versatility

Engström has equipped the Arne Mk2 with a versatile array of inputs, including two single-ended RCA and two balanced XLR connections, along with a 48-step volume control that allows for precise adjustments. Despite its formidable power and technical capabilities, the Arne Mk2 remains intuitive to operate, with a user-friendly remote control that handles volume and mute functions.

A Pure Scandinavian Sound

Engström’s commitment to delivering a pure Scandinavian sound, accessible to all, is fully realized in the Arne Mk2. This amplifier not only meets the technical demands of audiophiles but also engages the listener on an emotional level, making each listening session a profound experience. As Lars Engström proudly states, “ARNE is the closest we have come in our pursuit of completely pure Scandinavian Sound.”
