Know before you buy
The hybrid design pairs a tube preamplifier stage with a Hypex Class D power amplifier. This allows you to enjoy the natural, harmonic warmth of vacuum tubes while benefiting from the high efficiency and robust power delivery of modern solid-state technology.
Yes, the AI 2.10 is designed to handle challenging loads effectively. It delivers 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and increases to 150 watts per channel into 4 ohms, providing the necessary current to drive most high-end speakers with ease.
Yes, the unit features two balanced XLR inputs that utilize a strictly symmetrical signal path. This design helps reduce noise and interference, making it an excellent choice for high-quality balanced audio components.
Canor’s proprietary CMT™ (Canor PCB Milling Technology) is used in the manufacturing of the circuit boards. This process helps maintain the integrity of the signal path and reduces parasitic capacitance, which contributes to the amplifier's low distortion and clear sound profile.
The AI 2.10 uses two 6922 driver tubes in the preamplifier stage. Like all vacuum tubes, these will eventually require replacement depending on usage, and they are covered by a 3-month warranty, while the rest of the unit is covered for 2 years.
The amplifier utilizes a precise relay attenuator for volume control. This high-end approach ensures excellent channel balance and sonic transparency compared to standard potentiometers.
