Sugden Audio products reflect the best in the company’s long history of producing amplifiers, digital processors and loudspeakers with exceptional musical qualities. A history which stretches over forty-five years back to the first commercially available pure class ‘A’ solid state amplifiers. Sugden amplifiers which are hailed as classics and which are sought after even to this day.
The Sugden signature sound gives you the rich bodied sound of valve amplifiers along with the advantages of solid state.
Sophisticated Audio Technology
Whilst encompassing and considering the latest technological developments, Sugden only include them if they improve the perceived sonic performance. Whilst their have been tremendous opportunities for extending design criteria, circuit modelling, product modelling and layouts, Sugden have always been focussed on the final ability of the equipment to reproduce a total musical performance. The development of Sugden Products has a major subjective element to it. Hours of prototyping, component selection, measuring and listening to enable Sugden Audio products to deliver a complete musical experience.
Highest Quality Materials
The materials used by Sugden are selected for their intrinsic contribution to the overall performance of the equipment. The overall screening properties of full metal cases form an essential clean environment for the sophisticated electronic circuit. The cases, knobs, heat sinks and metal fixtures are also individually machined and fabricated in-house, assisting quality control.
Hand made in England
Sugden continues to hand-build products at their factory in York, England even in an age of automation and mass production. This is reflected in the quality of their amplifiers. Sugden production methods are the antithesis of robotic mass production and the maelstrom of that working environment. Their team members take pride and satisfaction in producing Sugden products lifts the standards of all the employees, they are the team leaders. Sugden is a team of special people, demanding of their own standards, creating an added dimension for the discerning owners of Sugden products.
