Bring back big—power, that is! At 200W stereo into 8 ohms and 400W into 4 ohms, the all-new Wotan will drive virtually anything. And, at the same time, it’s the most advanced amp we’ve ever built, with true dual-mono design, switchable no overall feedback, intelligent temperature management, and Forkbeard™ control and integration.
Dual Mono. Totally Overbuilt.
Wotan starts with two separate 600VA transformers, for a completely dual mono amplifier design. Add 160,000uf filter capacitance. 24 150W Toshiba output devices, 7 internal power supply rails per channel, and two fans that only kick in when you need them, and you get an insanely capable amp, designed for driving difficult speakers without breaking a sweat.
Nexus™ Differential Topology, Switchable Feedback
Like Tyr, Wotan is a differential Nexus™ amplifier, our unique current-feedback design that is inherently balanced. To this, we added a new trick: switchable feedback. Use the front panel button (or Forkbeard) to turn overall feedback on or off, for better synergy with more systems.
Intelligent Oversight, Silent Fans
Wotan includes internal sensors for current, temperature, DC, and other operational parameters. A 32-bit microprocessor manages and protects the amp in case of any fault, for near-bulletproof reliability. Wotan also adds two fans—which normally stay off. When temperatures climb, the fans switch on—slow at first, then building to full speed if necessary. That way, you’ll never hear them over the music.
Forkbeard™: System-Wide Control, Visibility, and Optimization
We saved the best for last—Wotan also includes Forkbeard, for system-wide control with a broad range of Schiit products. Forkbeard gives you instantaneous power output, allows you to switch feedback, change inputs, and trigger Standby mode remotely, provides system health alerts for over-temperature and over-current...and that's just the start.
Designed and Built in the USA
By “designed and built in the USA" this is what we mean: we design our products in Texas and California, and we make our products right here, too. The vast majority of the production cost of Wotan—chassis, boards, transformers, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. And it all comes together in our San Antonio, Texas facility.
5-Year Warranty and Easy Return Policy
Wotan is covered by a 5-year limited warranty that covers parts and labor. And if you don’t like your Wotan, you can send it back for a refund, minus 5% restocking fee, within 15 days of receiving it.
15-Day Satisfaction Guarantee
Try Wotan for 15 days. If you don’t like it, send it back for a refund, minus a 5% transaction fee. Try spending 15 days in an audio store. They’ll kick you out. Unless you buy them donuts. Maybe.
