BRING THE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE TO YOUR HOME CINEMA
A perfect companion to our brand new Altitude16 and made with the most demanding users in mind, our new 8 channel amplifier brings intelligent power and pristine audio quality at a sensitive price point without any compromise in terms of design and build quality.
Like its big brother the Amplitude8, the Amplitude8m is designed to deliver spectacular performance in a luxury home theater but at a fraction of the price. Using the Hypex N-Core Class D output module, each of the eight channels can deliver up to 300 watts RMS at 4Ω.
The amplification stage features the industry’s lowest-distortion and noise specifications, and what little noise there are remains frequency independent with a Signal to Noise Ratio : >120dB referenced to full power. The importance of this trait cannot be over-estimated in a theater that may have twenty or thirty speakers in a single room. If each of those speakers were producing even a small amount of noise, it would rapidly become noticeable and unacceptable. This scenario never arises with The Amplitude8m .

INTELLIGENT POWEROur amplifiers use microprocessor control for turn-on delay and feature an automatic AC power recognition and configuration system. The amplifiers not only recognize whether they are hooked up to 117V or 230V nominal power, they automatically self-configure. The Amplitude8M also incorporates a new “sleep” circuit... |
SLEEP CIRCUITThe Amplitude8m incorporate a new “sleep” circuit. When the amplifier stays idle for a period of more than 10 minutes, power is removed from the output modules and a front-panel LED begins to flash. As soon as an input signal is detected again on any channel, normal playback operation resumes instantaneously. |

LOWEST NOISELike the Amplitude8, the 8m features the industry's lowest-distortion and noise specifications to date. The importance of this trait cannot be over-estimated in a theater that may contain twenty or thirty speakers in a single room. If each of those speakers were producing even a small amount of noise, it would rapidly become noticeable and disruptive. This scenario never arises with The Amplitude8m. |
