Product Overview:
Top-of-the-line, eight channel amplification for custom installation and distributed audio systems. Outfitted with the latest high-efficiency switching technology, the component is smaller and lighter, while maintaining low distortion and impedance, even with long wire runs.
Reliability, flexibility, and ease of installation of the CI 980 is unsurpassed. Its design is space-efficient and will fit into standard racking units with rack ears and Phoenix speaker connection blocks. The amplifier is fully protected from short circuit and overheating, and automatically restores operation after a condition is rectified. The CI 980 is incredibly flexible, with selectable local or global inputs and the ability to bridge channels to create a single high-power channel.
Choose between a DC trigger or a signal-sensing turn on with auto shut-off to make integration easy. The signal sensing circuit employs a sophisticated music sensing circuit to prevent the false triggers common with noisy source components or other types of interference noise like RF leakage or ground loops.
