About Unison Research

Unison Research, founded in Italy, has a long-standing reputation for crafting high-fidelity audio equipment that marries traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Each product reflects their passion for music and dedication to producing equipment that delivers both sonic excellence and visual beauty. 

Circuit Design

The Unico 90 employs a hybrid circuit with a focus on simplicity and efficiency. Its two-stage design, featuring ECC83 and ECC81 tubes in a double-triode totem pole configuration, ensures minimal distortion and accurate gain. The output stage, which uses three pairs of HEXFETs per channel, delivers robust power while maintaining signal integrity.

Build Quality

Constructed with a sturdy casework and sleek design, the Unico 90 incorporates a three-plate front fascia, mirroring the aesthetics of the Unico 150. The large, durable case ensures longevity, while the passive preamplifier section includes a high-quality ALPS volume dial and precision mechanical relays to minimize signal loss.

Performance

The amplifier's performance is characterized by its clean power delivery and low distortion. The direct coupling design and lack of thermal compensation stages help preserve the sound's purity. The Unico 90 is engineered to handle various speaker types, including those with demanding specifications, providing reliable and consistent output.

Versatility and Compatibility

The Unico 90's design offers extensive versatility and compatibility with a range of audio sources and speakers. It features three RCA and two XLR inputs, accommodating various equipment setups. The amplifier also includes both fixed and variable RCA outputs and bi-wirable speaker terminals, making it adaptable to different speaker configurations. Its transformer design reduces the need for additional thermal compensation, and the selected capacitors contribute to high-frequency performance and low loss, ensuring seamless integration into diverse audio systems.
