Amphion Amp400.8 immersive forsterker
The Amp400.12 provides an exceptional level of multichannel amplification. It is built on the highly advanced Class-D platform, which offers abundant, fast, controlled, and low distortion power. To reach the needed sonic character and performance, an in-house designed buffer-stage was added to complement the merits of the latest Class-D technology. The buffer stage improves the impedance characteristics and cohesion between the channels, so that speed, control, neutrality, and ultra-low distortion can come across in an emotionally involving manner.
Though Amp400.12 was mainly developed for immersive audio, nothing prevents using it for other multichannel applications as well. As all 12 channels are identical and discreet they can also used to power up to 6 stereo pairs of passive speakers. It will equally drive both 8 ohm and 4 ohm loads, and partners perfectly with all Amphion models. Though Amp400.12 was developed and optimized for Amphion monitors, it provides excellent results with wide range of passive speakers. Neutrik XLR and Speakon connectors offer a convenient and secure way to connect the amplifier to rest of the system.
A sound you can trust
WithImmersive audio environments creating new demands on monitors, even theslightest inconsistencies between channels result in a lack of sound cohesion. Since 1998, Amphion’s 25-year tenure has allowed them to master their unique studio monitor design by achieving immaculate translation, excellent imaging, and superior time/phase coherence. The Amp400.12 was designed with their results-driven focus, careful sonic matching and quality components to make the amplifiers a perfect partnerto all Amphion and other passive monitors.
Immersive audio engineers and commercialstudios around the globe, including Mike Dean, Steve Fitzmaurice and Fabian Marasciullo, depend on Amphion for their immersive setups. Engineers rely on the pinpoint accuracy of the monitors in order to makethe most of the 3-D grid, which is why Amphion remains the monitor of choice in stereo and immersive audio environments. The Amp 400.12 is available and shipping now.
Powerful amplification with ultimate control
TheAmp400.12 is built on the highly advanced Class-D platform, which offers ample, fast, controlled and low distortion power. The in-house designed buffer-stage was added to complement the merits of the Class-D technology, which pushes the sonics even further. The Amp400.12 providesspeed, control, and feel, inherent to all Amphion amplifiers, that establishes an immaculate sound so even the smallest spatial details canbe identified while working. Amp400.12 power amp provides cohesion between all of its discreet and identical 12- channels, giving it consistent power, performance and flexibility.
The amplifier can be used to drive a 7.1.4 immersive Atmos setup or up to six passive monitor pairs. The Amp 400.12 will equally drive both 8ohm and 4ohm loads. The studio monitors,base systems and amplifiers can be leveraged to create the best setup depending on the engineers’ room size and needs. The Neutrik XLR and Speakon connectors for each channel provide easy and secure connectivityacross 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, highlyengaging aspect to all immersive material,” Hyvönen concludes.
