The only way to design state-of-the-art audio equipment is to have some experience with the finest available recording equipment AND playback equipment. This is important for two reasons; it ensures that your designs work and 'mate-well' with other products and that their resolution is not limited by the weakest link in the playback 'chain'.

All MAS products have been conceived using extensive listening tests with a variety of state-of-the-art ancillary equipment over a 20 year period.

Our amplifiers have been designed using a variety of state-of -the-art phono playback equipment and custom-made Tape Recorders including the battery operated Stellavox SM-8 using 1/4" tape at 30 ips and Stellavox TD-9 using 1/2" tape at 30 ips specially calibrated for the Bruel & Kjaer 4133 1/4" omni instrumentation microphones.

Using these references has made our entry into the digital electronics, electrostatic speakers and cable design a painless experience. It was only when we felt that these products measured up to the reputation we had earnt internationally with our amplifier products, did we feel that they could be added to our range to form the "MAS SYSTEM".

Our impressive 'listening laboratory' is rivalled by our comprehensive testing facilities where each amplifier is individually calibrated and tested by an experienced technician before being subjected to extensive listening tests over a one week burn-in period.

The painstaking handcrafting of each piece in limited quantities whilst laborious, is the only way we can guarantee consistant quality and reliability unmatched by normal manufacturing techniques.
