Characteristics
More Passion for Loudspeakers
The AMP IV is the new Audionet power amplifier aimed at music enthusiasts who expect loudspeakers to deliver nothing less than the maximum. Equipped with four amplifying channels, the AMP IV is specially designed for bi-amping high-end speakers, with midranges and basses amplified separately in each stereo channel. Each loudspeaker group is individually supplied with the maximum quantity of information, with full elimination of quality-impairing distortion from the other groups. As all connoisseurs know, this is the only method enabling most loudspeakers to transcend their usual performance thresholds.
Experience the Difference
Combining outstanding performance and inimitable sound qualities with extremely compact dimensions, the AMP IV is the ideal choice for bi-amping solutions for the restrictions of a home environment. The high performance AMP IV captivates listeners with an authenticity we are seldom privileged to experience. The sound is fast, gripping and fundamentally honest, yet supple, graceful, precise and restrained. Coupled with an infectious sense of fun, all this adds up to an impressively realistic sound and cinema experience. In addition, the bi-amping effect intensifies the music volume. The result in enhanced transparency, finer differentiation, clear spatial representation, and increased tonal realism.
Ultra-Linear-Amplifier
In the AMP IV – as with all our mono and stereo output stages – we have coherently implemented the ultralinear Audionet amplifier concept. The circuitry is designed to ensure exemplary freedom from distortion as well as speed and stability. The setup enables the four channels to function separately to the maximum possible extent. Sound-impairing amplifier influences are almost undetectable and superb playback stability is guaranteed.
Architecture
The setup is such that the four channels function separately to the maximum possible extent. Sound-impairing amplifier influences are nearly not measurable, superlative playback stability is guaranteed.
The AMP IV represents the cutting-edge of Audionet’s award-winning amplifier technology and audiophile passion. Designed, developed and manufactured in Bochum, Germany.
Exclusive Components
High-quality components are used exclusively, like high audiograde electrolyte capacitors with a silk dielectric, selected high voltage foil capacitors and internal signal wiring made of a superb silver/gold alloy.
Control
The AMP IV is monitored and controlled by a processor ensuring ease of operation, nerve-soothing reliability, and even connection in correct phase sequence to the power network. Need we mention that the AMP IV can also be remote activated by our fibreglass based Audionet-Link?

“Now the system operates in the bi-amping mode. Holla, ‘Les dessous chics’ sounds much more three-dimensional and gains colours and energy. The bass reproduction impresses: sonorous and controlled it sounds now. Any bet that you never heard the bass-line of Robie Williams ‘Feel’ like that before. […]”
