HAS Series: The Ultimate High-Fidelity Audio Selector
The Ultimate High-Fidelity Audio Selectors
The Audio Design HAS Series represents our commitment to uncompromising audio quality and precision engineering.
Designed by a dedicated audio amplifier expert, these selectors are crafted to preserve the purity of your sound, making them the ideal choice for any high-end audio system, from classic tube amplifiers to modern solid-state amps.
Key Features & Benefits:
・Pure Signal Path: We use the finest Japanese-made rotary switches with ultra-low contact resistance to ensure zero signal degradation.
・Built to Last: CA long-selling reference model trusted by audiophiles for over 20 years, engineered for a operational lifespan of 100,000 cycles.
・BTL Amplifier Compatibility: Safely switch between speaker outputs or amplifiers. Both positive (+) and negative (-) signal lines are completely isolated and switched simultaneously, making them 100% compatible with BTL (Bridge-Tied Load) amplifiers.
・Superior Build Quality: The custom-machined 40mmΦ aluminum knob provides an incredibly smooth and premium operating feel. Its large size is a deliberate design choice to reduce resistance and optimize performance.
・Generous Terminal Spacing: Speaker terminals are spaced 22mm horizontally and 35mm vertically to eliminate short-circuit risks. Terminals feature 6mm/5.5mm thru-holes that accommodate thick speaker cables, bare wire, Y-lugs (spade connectors), and banana plugs simultaneously.
・Pro Series: For the Ultimate Audiophile The higher-end Pro Series models are built with the highest-quality audio parts, from switches to terminals. If you seek the absolute best performance and have the budget, the Pro Series offers a truly transcendent listening experience.
Switch Grade Overview (Made in Japan)
RCA Line Switch (32mm dia., Gold-plated contacts):
Engineered specifically for small-signal handling in RCA line selectors (HAS-3L / HAS-33L).
Standard Speaker Switch (43mm dia., Gold-plated contacts):
Optimized for medium-signal switching in standard speaker/amp selectors (HAS-3S / HAS-33S).
Pro Series Switch (56mm dia., Silver-plated contacts):
Heavy-duty, maximum-performance switches designed for high-current applications (HAS-3S Pro / HAS-33S Pro).
HAS-3 Series (1 Dial / Input or Output Switching)
The HAS-3S Series: Uncompromising Quality for the True Audiophile
Key Features and Technical Excellence:
・Zero Sound Degradation: Our top-priority design principle ensures that the HAS-3S maintains the highest sound quality, allowing you to switch speakers without sacrificing a single detail in your music.
・Best-in-Class Low Resistance: The HAS-3S boasts an industry-leading, actual measured terminal-to-terminal resistance of just 6mΩ (and an astonishing 4mΩ for the Pro model). This ultra-low resistance is critical to preventing Damping Factor (DF) degradation, ensuring your amplifier's full power and control are delivered to your speakers.
・Precision Japanese Switches: We use only the highest-grade pure Japanese rotary switches. With low contact resistance, a long life of 100,000 cycles, and exceptional reliability, these switches are far superior to those found in general-purpose selectors.
・Versatile Amplifier Compatibility: Designed to work flawlessly with a wide range of amplifiers, from classic tube amplifiers to powerful transistor models. It is also compatible with BTL amplifiers, switching both positive and negative speaker lines.
・Superior Operating Feel: A large, machined 40mmΦ aluminum knob provides a smooth, satisfying tactile experience. This is not just a design choice; the larger knob is necessary to achieve the optimal pressure for the switch's contact, minimizing resistance for peak performance.
・Effortless Connectivity: The speaker terminal holes are a generous 6mmΦ (5.5mmΦ for the Pro model), allowing for extra-thick speaker cables. The unique design allows you to use bare speaker cables and banana plugs simultaneously.
・Safe and Secure Terminals: The ample horizontal and vertical spacing between terminals (22mm and 35mm respectively) eliminates the risk of short circuits, even when using large speaker cables.
・Proven Longevity: As a long-selling model for over 20 years, you can be confident in its durability and continued support. There is no need to worry about the product being discontinued.
・About Terminals: Y-lugs (spade terminals) with a width of 8 mm to 20 mm can be used. For the Pro model, the width of Y-lugs must be 15 mm or less due to the plastic case specifications.
Line Selector HAS-3L (for RCA line switching)
The HAS-3L: Pure Signal Selection for High-End Systems
The HAS-3L line selector is the perfect solution for switching between your audio components with zero loss in sound quality. Using the same high-quality switches as our speaker selectors, this unit is ideal for managing multiple RCA inputs and outputs from devices like CD players, DA converters, preamplifiers, and power amplifiers.
Key Features:
・Pristine Signal Path: Designed by an audio amplifier specialist to ensure no degradation of your audio signal, even for the most discerning high-end equipment.
・Lowest Resistance in its Class: With an actual measured terminal resistance of just 8mΩ, the HAS-3L offers the lowest resistance value among line selectors, guaranteeing the cleanest signal path.
・Exceptional Durability: The specialized rotary switches from Seiden, a renowned Japanese manufacturer, have a long life of 100,000 cycles, providing long-term reliability.
・Premium Build and Feel: The machined 40mmΦ aluminum knob provides a solid, professional feel, while the 4mm-thick aluminum front panel gives the case a luxurious appearance that complements your other audio equipment.
・Versatile and Consistent Design: As part of the HAS series, all models—from line to speaker selectors—share a consistent, elegant design.
