Characteristics
Power Pack for Home-Cinema Racks
AMP V is the new high performance 5-channel amplifier from Audionet. Engineered for all those who require heightened amplification but are not prepared to sacrifice many cubic metres of space for a walk-in output stage.
AMP V is our power amplifier for multichannel applications. Used in conjunction with MAP I, our front-end home-cinema preamplifier, the overall dimensions are still compact enough to make many surround-receivers seem positively bulky by comparison. And what is more: the price is hardly more expensive!
AMP V accomplishes the feat of combining outstanding performance and peerless sound qualities with pleasingly compact dimensions. With five channels enabling advanced 5.1 home cinema, this amplifier is absolutely ideal for home-cinema solutions which seamlessly integrate into the design of the individual home and above all convincing on the strength of their sound.
Best Sound in Town
From Mozart to King Kong, from the sublime to the ridiculous, AMP V devotedly masters any task set, and captivates listeners with a fidelity rarely experienced: The sound is fast, brisk, and very true, yet full of delicacy, grace and caution – combined with a sense of fun that is irresistibly infectious. All this adds to up to an astonishingly realistic acoustic experience. AMP V represents the cutting-edge of Audionet’s award-winning amplifier technology and audiophile passion. Designed, developed and manufactured in Bochum, Germany.
Ultra-Linear-Amplifier
In AMP V – as with all our mono and stereo output stages – we have coherently implemented the ultralinear Audionet amplifier concept. The circuitry was designed to ensure exemplary freedom from distortion, as well as speed and stability.
Architecture
The setup is such that the five channels function separately to the maximum possible extent. Sound-impairing amplifier influences are nearly not measurable, superlative playback stability is guaranteed.
Exclusive Components
High-quality components are used exclusively, like high audiograde electrolyte capacitors with a dielectric made of silk, selected high voltage foil capacitors and the internal signal wiring is made of a superb silver/gold alloy.
Control
AMP V is monitored and controlled by a powerful processor ensuring ease of operation, nervesoothing reliability, and even connection in correct phase sequence to the power network. Need we mention that AMP V can also be switched on by remote control? Audionet AMP V is striking for its technology, compactness and performance.

Press comments on AMP V
AreaDVD.de Germany
“[…] Often we have been asked by our readers what actually means the term ‘high-end’. The AMP V is a prime example of such kind: High-End means that all technical aspects have been realized on an extremely high technological AND tonal level […]”
Verdict: Class-Reference“
AV-Magazin.de Germany
“It is difficult to find the right words to describe the levels of perfection attained by Audionet. Consider the convincing tonal range […] or the exceptional tonal quality of the voices – entirely genuine. This multi-channel miracle reproduces even the smallest detail. The coarse and fine dynamics produce top values. With its puristic design and excellent tonal quality, the Audionet AMP V makes an excellent impression. When integrated in a high-dynamic, extremely playful music or cinema unit, it beats all other end stages, even the most expensive. It has deserved the accolade as a highlight.”
AreaDVD.de
“The Audionet AMP V unites the key virtues of an power amplifier beating its competitors hands down in terms of a balanced tonality, detail-richness in both the high and low range. It projects voices with an almost amazing, invisible yet almost palpable manner. Our conclusion: the clear winner. For audiophile 5.1 users with high-quality loudspeakers, this product is nothing short of a tonal revelation.”
Weird.
