The New Pendulum Integrated Amplifier Dan D Agostino, April 3, 2025

Circuitry Excellence

At the heart of the Pendulum Integrated Amplifier lies the ingeniously re-engineered JFET input circuit topology, derived from the acclaimed Momentum C2 Preamplifier. This innovative technology upgrades the performance and precision of the entire platform, guaranteeing an immersive listening experience that transcends expectations from a component its size.

Exceptional Power Supply

Driven by a custom toroidal transformer rated at 750VA and complemented by a nearly 25,000 μF capacitor bank, the Pendulum Integrated Amplifier delivers robust power output within a compact design. This advanced power supply ensures stable performance and minimizes distortion, allowing the amplifier to effortlessly drive challenging loudspeakers to their full potential.

Versatile Connectivity

Seamless integration with a variety of audio sources is key to the Pendulum’s versatility. Analog connections include three
balanced inputs, one with theater pass-through, and one single-ended input, which accommodates turntable playback with the optional moving-coil phono module installed. Balanced preamplifier outputs allow effortless integration of subwoofer(s), providing maximum flexibility to tailor your sound experience.

Digital Capabilities

The Pendulum Integrated Amplifier has upgradable features that include a comprehensive suite of digital connections, ensuring seamless integration with modern audio sources and systems. Featuring optical and both RJ45 and Wi-Fi network connections, it offers unparalleled connectivity options. Notably, it is the first D’Agostino component to include an HDMI input with eARC functionality, simplifying integration into home entertainment systems.

Advanced Control

With a Bluetooth-enabled remote control housed in Delrin®, the Pendulum Integrated Amplifier offers intuitive control over unit functions and settings. The remote’s ergonomic design and LCD screen mirror the information displayed on the component’s front panel.

Elegant Design

Highlighting its aesthetic appeal, the Pendulum Integrated Amplifier features an LCD display inspired by Swiss watch design, offering real-time updates on unit status, functions, and metadata. This refined detail adds a touch of sophistication to any audio setup.
