Canor Audio AI 1.20 Integrated Solid State Amplifier

Canor AI 1.20 - Integrated Solid-state Amplifier

CANOR AI 1.20 is an integrated solid-state amplifier which operates in pure Class A up to 50 W per channel with a relay attenuator. Dual mono construction for ultimate performance.

Built around the same princpal as the all tube AI 1.10 but for those who feel more comfortable with solid state amplification.

Highlights:

Operates in a pure class A

264 000 uF of total filtering capacitance

Possibility to create a monoblock connection of 2 units

Main Features:

Heat disposal

As the AI 1.20 operates in pure Class A to combat heat a special copper plate is used for heat dissipation, which is installed on the heatsink and the power transistors are installed directly on the given copper plate.

Dual-mono connection

Dual-mono connection - each channel has its own power transformer. Power transformers are located in separate parts of the device.

Amplifier design

A shielded tunnel passes through the centre of the AI 1.20 amplifier, in which filters with nanocrystalline coils are located. In addition, the input circuits are equipped with low-noise J-P transistors.

Monoblock connection

For even better performance and sound, it is possible to connect AI 1.20 as monoblocks using a data cable. One unit becomes the "master" unit and the other the "slave". This is the so-called bridge connection of two amplifiers (a fully symmetrical connection)

Product features:

⦁ an integrated solid-state amplifier in pure class-A up to 50 W per channel

⦁ a relay attenuator with two standalone blocks for each channel

⦁ PCB’s utilize our premium CMT™ technology (CANOR® PCB Milling Technology), it is the way we mill printed circuit boards

⦁ CMT™ technology originated in a long-standing endeavour to improve the sonic performance of our products

⦁ power supply units with filtered out interfering signals from the mains supply

⦁ interference-rejection and as small as possible leakage field ensure custom-wound toroidal transformers

⦁ 264 000 uF of filtering capacitance simulates a nearly stabilized supply voltage

⦁ an option of synchronous control enables the use of two amplifiers in a monoblock mode without the need of using an extra preamplifier and that is a Master/Slave mode with an output power of 100W per channel
