Powerful digital amplifier delivers audiophile-quality sound in any room
Built-in, powerful digital amplifier
Powers large or small speakers with 55W per channel.
Class-D amplifier
State of the art, great sounding amplifier is small, lightweight and very energy efficient.
Radiant cooling
Operates silently — all you hear is the music, as the amplifier is kept cool by the aluminum casing, not by a noisy fan.
Tone and volume controls adjustable for each room
Optimise sound performance for each room using room-specific bass, treble, balance, and loudness controls. Adjust volume by individual room or by groups of rooms.
Subwoofer output with automatic crossover
When adding a subwoofer, the CONNECT:AMP automatically adjusts the output to send the low frequencies to the subwoofer and the high frequencies to the speaker.
