Designed specifically for immersive audio set-ups Finnish loudspeaker manufacturer Amphion has announced the Amp400.12 multichannel amplifier.
The new model joins the series with Amp400 series with a total of 12 channels, and able to power an entire 7.1.4 Atmos set-up, with the flexibility of an extra channel.
‘The Amphion Amp400.12 is a highly synergistic pairing of the very latest in class-D engineering and Amphion’s in-house designed buffer stage, which brings a touch of magic to an already excellent multichannel platform,’ says company founder and CEO, Anssi Hyvönen. ‘An exceptionally high price-to-performance ratio was achieved by focusing on the sonics and omitting everything which was unnecessary.’
With Immersive audio environments creating new demands on monitors, even slight inconsistencies between channels result in a lack of sound cohesion. The Amp400.12 is designed with their results-driven focus, careful sonic matching and quality components to make the amplifiers a perfect partner to all Amphion monitors and other passive loudspeakers.
The Amp400.12 is built on the class-D platform, with a custom buffer-stage added to complement the merits of the class-D technology. This provides speed and control inherent to Amphion amplifiers.
The amplifier can be used to drive a 7.1.4 immersive Atmos set-up or up to six passive monitor pairs, and will equally drive 8Ω and 4Ω loads. Neutrik XLR and Speakon connectors for each channel provide easy and secure connectivity across the system.
‘As immersive format continues to grow it has been extremely pleasing to listen to work of our customers. Imaging, channel integration and phase are always spot-on, which brings a natural, highly engaging aspect to all immersive material,’ Hyvönen concludes.
All products are handmade in Finland. The Amp 400.12 is available now for US$5,500 through participating dealers.
