The Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2 stereo amplifier was created
for music connoisseurs seeking a sublime listening experience,
dependability, and value.
Carefully designed to deliver a well-balanced
musical presentation and long-term listening pleasure, the
Signature 30.2 stereo amplifier combines the finest sonic
attributes of classic tube amplification (midrange warmth,
rich tonal character, and smooth high-frequency resolution)
and solid-state amplification (rock-solid bass response,
realistic dynamic range and clarity) to enhance the listener’s
emotional involvement with the music.
As with all Red Wine Audio products,
the Signature 30.2 stereo amplifier is powered by clean,
high-current sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries that allow
all the nuances of the music to emerge with remarkable coherence
and integrity. By running on internal SLA battery power
and isolating itself from the AC power grid, the Signature
30.2 stereo amplifier is free from the entire AC to DC conversion
process and the associated electrical noise problems that
hinder the performance of conventional AC-powered amplifiers.
On the inside of the Signature 30.2 stereo
amplifier is a unique circuit design that demonstrates our
beliefs in using premium parts, shorter signal paths, and
SLA battery power. On the outside you will enjoy elegant
aesthetics and superb build quality. Every Signature 30.2
stereo amplifier is proudly hand-made in the USA and carefully
tested, inspected, and packaged before making its journey
to our highly-valued and satisfied customers.
SMART module equipped
The Signature 30.2 stereo
amplifier features a Red Wine Audio innovation… the SMART
module (SLA battery Monitoring and Auto
Recharge circuiT). This is a custom-designed
circuit board that continuously monitors the voltage of
the internal SLA batteries. If the voltage drops too low,
the SMART module automatically turns off the Signature 30.2
and begins the battery recharge process for you.
With the SMART module, any user concern
of accidentally damaging the internal SLA batteries by forgetting
to turn off the Signature 30.2 is eliminated!

"Minimalist to the
core, with top-notch parts and a deeply tweaked circuit,
this amplifier has already sidelined $45,000/pr battery-powered
monos, given $10,000/pr muscle amps the fly-bye finger and
butted heads with first-rate tube amps. I'll tip my hand
and reveal prior to the full review conclusion that the
30.2 will walk away with a Lunar Eclipse Award in the new
year, only the fourth one to be given out in our 5 years
of operation."
Srajan Ebaen,

"Red Wine Audio's Signature
30.2 is one of my three favorite amps regardless of class
or output devices... it sonically goes well beyond its own
first incarnation to have turned into a bona fide ultrafi
amp that'll upset equilibrium in the upper ranks of overpriced
eye candy for those who pay attention and evaluate with
their ears."
Srajan Ebaen,

"The 30.2 offers one of the most musical presentations at this price point... the 30.2 delivers the goods!"
Jeff Dorgay, Tone Audio (issue #14)
"Of all the amplifiers that I've tested in recent years, the Signature 30.2 is one of the best. Period."

Like a finely-tuned musical instrument…
The Signature 30.2 stereo amplifier is
a highly refined and improved version of our award winning
Signature
30.
Listed below are the major refinements in its musical presentation:
a) A warmer, and more seductive sound
signature
b) Greater dimensionality
c) Added bass weight
d) Sweeter top end
e) Richer tone, without sacrificing any pace, rhythm
and timing
The amplifier board in the Signature
30.2 has been heavily modified in order to achieve the sonic
enhancements listed above. Below are examples of such refinements:
1) A new output filter stage design
that features all new, higher-quality components as
well as all new filtering characteristics.
2) The new output filter components
are now hard-wired together (point-to-point) and have
the speaker output wiring directly connected to them
to offer an even shorter, cleaner signal path.
3) A higher grade of PIO (paper-in-oil)
input capacitor
4) Modified input stage design, which
also features higher quality parts such as resistors,
dc offset pots, etc.
Also featuring:
-
Custom “touch-sensing” power on/off
switch with built-in LED that emits a soft, red glow.
This switch is mounted flush with the black-anodized
aluminum front panel for a clean appearance and is also
made of smooth, black-anodized aluminum.
-
Black, powder-coated aluminum enclosure
with a smooth, 0.5” thick black-anodized faceplate that
is laser-etched. Silver-painted, machined aluminum knob
(available with Signature 30.2 stereo amplifier with
integrated precision stepped attenuator volume control
with remote)
-
Premium input and output jacks by
Vampire
-
Rapid-speed SLA battery charger with
universal input voltage (100 – 240Vac, 50/60Hz) and
IEC power input jack, and output cable featuring a heavy-duty
XLR plug
