They offer many times the current delivery of the 6550\/KT90 tetrode tube variant used in most traditional tube integrated amplifiers. In addition to driving even difficult low-impedance speaker loads, the all-triode fully balanced design provides a natural portrayal of harmonic texture and instrumental timbre. Your recordings will sound more alive while simultaneously yielding greater finesse, grace, and inner detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“Fuse-less” Protection Circuit \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eIn the event an output tube becomes over-stressed, all you need to do is turn VK-80i off and on again to restore normal operation. That’s it. The elimination of internal fuses also contributes to a greater sense of ease and more natural reproduction of music. Also, the fuse-less protection circuit is combined with a world-class automatic-bias circuit that eliminates the constant need to set and readjust the proper bias of the output tubes. No tubes to bias. No tube fuses to replace. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Auto-Bias Design Makes Operation a Cinch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe advanced engineering within VK-80i eliminates the traditional headache associated with most vacuum-tube power amplifiers—specifically, the constant need to set and readjust the proper bias of the output tubes. VK-80i features an intelligent automatic-bias design that adjusts for changing line voltage and aging tubes, with each output tube having its own dedicated bias circuit. The auto-bias circuit also ensures your VK-80i sounds wonderful within the first few minutes of listening. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput per channel at 8Ω\/4Ω:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55 W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 Hz to 200 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 215 kΩ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTube complement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 6SN7, 4 x 6C33C-B\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400W idle, 800W full power\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x XLR, 3 x RCA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistive ladder, 90 steps, 1 dB per step\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (WHD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 17\" x 8\" x 16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MOFI Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":63802162774393,"sku":"VK-80IBLACK","price":2998.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":63802162807161,"sku":"VK-80ISILVER","price":2998.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/7219\/3401\/files\/BAT_VK_80i_Integrated_Amplifier_Black_Angle_Left.jpg?v=1781863659","url":"https:\/\/noirvinyl.com\/products\/balanced-audio-technology-vk-80i-integrated-amplifier","provider":"NOIR VINYL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
