Description

Il Audiolab 9000A is l 'stereo integrated amplifier most powerful and complete built by Audiolab, designed by Jan Ertner. The discrete final stage in Class AB With CFB topology it delivers 100 W per channel into 8 ohms and 160 W into 4 ohms, with 15 A of maximum current; the power supply uses a 320 VA toroidal transformer and 60.000 µF of capacitors.

The DAC is the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO , ESS's flagship chip: from the USB input for computer it accepts PCM up to 32 bit / 768 kHz and DSD512 , while two coaxial and two optical inputs reach 192 kHz with selectable digital filters. Bluetooth 5.1 supports aptX, aptX HD, AAC and LDAC, and the device is Roon Tested certified.

On the analog front there are three line inputs, one balanced XLR input, A new PHONE MM stadium a JFET with RIAA equalization and a power input. The 4,3" IPS display shows source and format, or two types of VU meters. With the modaliIntegrated, Pre-Power and Pre-only, the 9000A can act as a power amplifier for an AV processor or as a preamplifier for an external power amplifier like the 9000P.

The distinctive technologies of Audiolab They include the innovative Class XD amplifier circuit, a proprietary topology that combines the efficiency of Class D with the linearity of Class AB, ensuring low distortion and superior dynamic control. The digital converters use the latest generation ESS Sabre chips with optimized analog filtering to reduce jitter and improve the resolution of musical details. The Toroi transformersdali custom are internally wrapped according to proprietary specifications to minimize magnetic dispersion and electrical interferenceromagnetics. The modular design allows for future upgrades and simplified maintenance, while the stabilized power circuits ensure consistent performance even under demanding loads.
The product range Audiolab The range includes transistor integrated amplifiers of various power ratings and configurations, DACs for modern digital sources, precision-engineered CD players, and high-quality wireless streaming systems. Integrated amplifiers are the heart of the offering, available in versions from 40 to 150 watts per channel, all equipped with MM/MC phono stages for turntables and multiple digital inputs. The DACs support hi-res formats up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256, with USB, optical, coaxial, and Ethernet connectivity for maximum versatility with modern sources.
The 6000 Series represents the brand's entry level, featuring compact integrated amplifiers with 40-60 watts per channel, perfect for high-sensitivity bookshelf speakers in medium-sized home environments. The 7000 Series represents the mainstream of the range, with 75-100 watts of power and reference-level amplifiers for vinyl enthusiasts. The 8000 line offers high-end solutions with 120-150 watts per channel, oversized transformers, and select components for demanding floorstanding speaker systems. Each series is available in analog-only or hybrid versions with integrated digital amplifiers, allowing for customization to meet the specific needs of your stereo system.
Audiolab has received numerous awards from the international trade press, including What Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi Choice, Hi-Fi World, and Stereophile awards for several amplifier and digital converter models. Reviews consistently highlight the exceptional value for money, solid construction, and engaging musical performance. Laboratory tests confirm high-level technical specifications with distortions below 0,01% and signal-to-noise ratios above 100 dB across the entire product range.
The target audience includes discerning audiophiles, music enthusiasts, and owners of quality stereo systems looking for reliable electronic components without compromising on sound. The price range is in the mid-to-high end of the hi-fi market, with integrated amplifiers ranging from €800 to €3000 and DACs from €400 to €1500, making high fidelity accessible to a broad audience of enthusiasts.

Integrated, Pre-Amplifier, or Receiver: A Guide to Choosing

When building a Hi-Fi system, choosing the right amplifier is one of the most important—and often confusing—steps. Integrated amplifier, preamplifier and power amplifier pair, receiver: three different philosophies, three ways of understanding sound and experience…

What is an integrated amplifier and why is it the point

The integrated amplifier is the most common solution in home Hi-Fi, and for good reason. It combines two essential functions in a single chassis: the preamplifier, which manages the sources, adjusts the volume, and shapes the audio signal, and the power amplifier, which amplifies the signal to drive the speakers. It's the natural choice for those who want a complete, efficient, and ready-to-use system without complications.
