Elipson has launched a new amplifier allowing users to stream wireless, high-quality music.
The Elipson Connect 2130 Xi amplifier has a built-in streamer, Bluetooth 5.1, WiFi and LAN connectivity, as well as AirPlay 2, Chromecast, UPnP and DLNA functionality.
A combination of line-in and RCA inputs connect to a variety of audio sources, while the subwoofer output offers the option to boost low frequencies.
According to Elipson, the unit supports installers with the use of Class D amplification and a PFC power factor correction system – regulating the power supplied whatever the mains voltage.
This capability guarantees harmonic distortion of less than 0.003% and a signal-to-noise ratio of more than 119 dB.
The feature can be activated in mono mode, delivering 250 W RMS and 500 W peak at 8 ohms, also compatible with 100V loudspeakers for sound reinforcement in large spaces.
With compact dimensions of 215 x 44.5 x 220mm and a weight of 2 kg, the Elipson Connect 2130 Xi amplifier fits easily into any environment.
In addition, an optional rack-mountable front panel allows two units to be integrated, providing a neat installation in a standard rack.
Connecting to the internet via WiFi or Ethernet, the amplifier provides access to streaming services such as Spotify, Deezer, Tidal. Qobuz and Amazon Music.
With integrated AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Bluetooth 5.1, the unit offers multi-room functionality for users to create a cohesive musical ambience in each of their rooms.
