The Pride and the Passion
For more than 15 years Unison Research products have been admired and appreciated around the world. From very beginning our purpose has always been to provide enjoyment throught listening to music. To that deceptively simple goal we bring a lifetime of experience in both valve and solid-state electronics design - and a genuine passion for making equipment that will give lasting pleasure.

Look inside any Unison Research amplifier and you will fin our renowned build quality, careful attention to detail and a very high standard of material content. Many of the key components - such as the mains and output trasformers which are vital for good sound quality - are madi in-house. You will also find advanced technology and many unique features, the fruit of original thinking by our designers in partnership with one of Italy's most respected Institutes of Advanced Electronics Research.

Our pride in making audio equipment is not confined to the technical aspects of design. A machine for making fine music must also be of attractive visual appearance, made with skill and flair to please the eye as well as the ear. Unison Research has always been synonymous with elegance and style in the best Italian tradition. Our lavish use of fine materials, like sculpted hardwood and stainless steel, makes Unison Research equipment stand out from the crowd in an all-too often world of drab conformity.

The essence of any piece of audio equipment lies in the way it reproduces music. Listen to your music through any Unison Research product and you will hear a natural purity of sound, free from strain or artifice. No matter whether you choose a classic pure triode all-valve amplifier or one of the new generation of hybrid tube and solid-state designs; and no matter what your taste in music, from classical to rock, from vocal to symphonic, Unison Research can help you towards greater listening pleasure.

From our small team of dedicated craftsmen, designers and audio engineers at Unison Research, we wish you the very best in musical enjoyment!

Unico

Unico is a stereo integrated amplifier using both valve and solid state technology. It is the result of many years of original research aimed at providing superb musical performance from a compact, well-equipped and affordable amplifier.
The combination of a pure triode input stage with a MOSFET output stage provides 8o watts of power together with the pleasing sonic character of a well-designed tube amplifier. It will appeal to music lovers and audiophiles alike for its convincingly natural musical presentation.

Construction
The mains transformer, which following Unison Research tradition has been designed and handmade in our own workshops, and the bank of power supply capacitors are of very generous proportions. The power output Mosfets are fitted to a massive 1kg heatsink to ensure optimum thermal stability, and fully protected against overload by an automatic electronic circuit.
Both the input selector and volume control are top quality components, specially selected for longterm reliability. And as with all Unison Research products, Unico is a robustly constructed unit, with a heavy chassis and an attractive faceplate in satin aluminium.
Anodized satin aluminium control knobs complete the frontal design.

Controls and connections
Five line-level inputs are provided, with built-in phono stage (optional). This Phono Unit caters for all types of cartridges by simply changing the positions of the internal MM/MC and gain jumper plugs, and a sophisticated active/passive RIAA equalisation circuit gives accuracy and sweetness on vinyl replay.
Loudspeaker connections are gold-plated, and fully isolated as required by the latest CE regulations.
