BOOSTER

The Booster is a feature designed to reproduce the lower range of frequencies with power and control. It works as a custom equalisation, increasing the gain around 50Hz to provide a richer and more full-bodied sound. The 50Hz frequency has been chosen since lower frequencies are more difficult to obtain with small speakers.

The Booster provides a richer and more full-bodied sound, for better realism and dynamic. It’s particularly useful in case of speakers that require more energy in the bass frequencies, for night-time listening at lower volumes, or even to achieve a more realistic headroom. The Booster is completely by-passed when set to OFF, applied to 50% when set to 1, applied to 100% when set to 2.

About Gold Note

Gold Note traces its roots to Florence, Tuscany, where Maurizio Aterini founded the company in 2012 after decades in high-end audio design. Building on his earlier ventures—starting with the 1992 Bluenote studio that crafted innovative tonearms like the enduring B-5—Aterini channeled over 25 years of expertise into a brand rooted in Italian craftsmanship. From its rural Montespertoli base, Gold Note manufactures every component in-house, blending Renaissance-inspired innovation with Tuscan tradition to pursue uncompromised sound.

The brand excels in a vertically integrated lineup spanning analogue and digital domains, including acclaimed turntables, amplifiers, DACs, preamplifiers, phono stages, and loudspeakers. Signature products like the B-5 tonearm persist across models, while electronics emphasize clean circuitry, robust power supplies, and functional Italian design. This complete system approach allows audiophiles to assemble full Gold Note chains, delivering their hallmark "Italian Sound"—full-bodied, dynamic, and spatially precise.

Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Gold Note commands respect among experts and enthusiasts for reliability, sonic excellence, and relentless R&D. Sold in over 40 countries, it stands as Italy's leading high-end manufacturer, offering boutique quality without exorbitant pricing through optimized production. For discerning buyers seeking emotional musicality, Gold Note delivers addictive, tradition-honoring performance.
