leviathan signature series™ monoblocs

 

Pronounced [lēvī'uthun]Red Dragon Audio created the leviathan signature series monoblocs  to provide music lovers and audiophiles with the absolute best amplifier technology in the most stunning custom enclosures.  Every leviathan monobloc is handcrafted with painstaking attention to detail, finish and execution.  Our skilled carpenters start with 250grit sand paper and progressively work towards the final sanding with 2000grit sand paper.  This graduated sanding technique ensures the smoothest surface imaginable and beckons the observer to caress it's contours. Hand waxing every solid wood case takes six days in order to allow the surface to properly air dry between coats. The entire process of building a set of leviathan monoblocs spans over ten days due in part to the old world wood finishing, hand wired connections and laser cut stainless steel casework.  Nothing is hurried.   

Each leviathan signature monobloc contains an independently modified ICEpower 1000ASP module providing 500watts into 8ohms and over 1000watts into 4ohms.  With its own independent power supply the leviathan delivers excellent transient response and dynamic contrast drawing you deeper into the music. Every note will be reproduced more naturally, fully and vibrantly with the  leviathan signature monoblocs. Strings come alive, drums snap with conviction and vocals float freely around you.  In fact, the leviathan signature is so remarkable it might just be your last amplifier ever.

Only the finest materials are used in the assembly of each leviathan signature monobloc with each part selected for pure sound quality.  The solid hardwood case is offered in four stunning exotic woods: zebrawood, cocobolo, east Indian rosewood and Macassar ebony - the Macassar and Cocobolo carry a slight upcharge.  Other finishes available by request.  Cabinet construction starts with hand selecting each piece of hardwood for its beauty, uniformity and integrity. Top and bottom plates are laser cut from twelve gauge brushed stainless steel which provides an extremely rigid framework for the hardwood exterior.  Solid Silver wire with Teflon coating is used to provide the cleanest signal path for the delicate delivery of the line level signal.  The output stage utilizes heavy gauge silver plated copper wire for massive current handling capabilities.   Because of the complex nature of switch mode power supplies a host of EMI/RFI control, absorption and diffusion methods have been employed to preserve the very essence of the music.    A bevy of protection features are built right into each amplifier such as thermal, over current, short circuit and HFD protection.  No detail is overlooked and no part is employed without exhaustive listening tests.

All Red Dragon Audio amplifiers are hand crafted here in the USA and tested extensively for 72 hours prior to shipment.  To guarantee the safe transit of the leviathan signature monoblocs we use custom wood containers with two inches of high density foam lining. This method for packing and shipping will ensure the safe arrival of the leviathans at their new owners home.
