The i9-XR is our leading integrated amplifier, that is feature rich and provides 2 x91W into 6Ω. With both analogue and digital inputs, the i9-XR really is the complete answer regardless of your preferred listening source. The i9-XR integrated amplifier performs consistently above its price bracket since it launched and has been receiving rave reviews from around the globe.
Power Amplifier
The wideband power amplifier of the i9-XR responds from D.C. to beyond 100kHz ensuring ruler flat frequency response and keeping any undesirable phase shifts out of the audio band. With a generous, over-specified power supply the i9-XR power amplifier is very capable of reproducing the scale and drama of the musical performance.
Analogue Preamplifier
Derived from the high-end Pre-XR preamplifier, the i9-XR analogue preamp features relay input selection and a new high performance gain stage. This short-path design makes the analogue preamplifier extremely transparent. With four analogue inputs and phono MM, the i9-XR will cover just about any system requirement for analogue connectivity.
PSU-XR Port
The i9-XR includes a port for the PSU-XR external power supply, which raises the bar by sourcing no less than five independent regulated supplies in a single box. For the i9-XR a pair of these are assigned to provide ultra-smooth power for the preamplifier, and a second pair to provide a huge dynamic boost for the power amplifier.
Low Noise Phono Stage
Inheriting many design features from the award winning Phono Signature, the phono stage in the i9-XR performs at a level way above its class. Featuring low background noise and high dynamic range, the phono stage is a perfect complement for a quality vinyl turntable source.
