Know before you buy
With 610W per channel into 8 ohms and a peak output current of 38A, this amplifier is designed to handle demanding, power-hungry speakers with ease. Its high-current capability ensures that even speakers with complex impedance dips remain stable and controlled.
No. Because it utilizes highly efficient ICEedge® Class D technology, the amplifier operates at nearly 80% efficiency. This means it runs significantly cooler than traditional Class A or AB amplifiers, allowing for easier placement in enclosed cabinets.
No, the i·V 4 is not bridgeable. It is designed as a dedicated four-channel amplifier, providing consistent, high-power output to each individual channel simultaneously.
No, the i·V 4 is a pure power amplifier. It features analog RCA inputs only, meaning you will need a separate preamplifier or an AV processor to manage your digital sources and volume control.
The amplifier includes a trigger input that allows it to automatically power on or off in sync with your preamplifier or processor. This eliminates the need to manually toggle the power switch every time you start your home theater system.
The i·V 4 is not designed for rack mounting. It features a standard chassis footprint of 17.5 inches wide and is intended to be placed on a shelf or dedicated audio stand.
