Avantgarde Acoustic "Model 5+" Integrated Amplifier

Introducing Avantgarde Acoustic's new little integrated amplifier called the "Model 5+". The Model 5+ takes its name from the 5 active devices used in the amplifier. For a solid state amplifier this is the minimum number of devices you can have in an amplifier. As you can see from the front panel there are just two controls : one for input selection and the other for volume. Both are linked to lovely meters with watch like hands that indicate what input and volume setting have been selected. The Model 5+ has been designed to be used with all the Avantgarde range of loudspeakers including the new Solo and represents a very cost effective solution to partnering electronics. It can be used to drive conventional loudspeakers also.

If you require further information on this fabulous new product from Avantgarde then please call or email for our fact sheet.

Specification:
Inputs: 6 line level (one straight though for AV application)
Outputs: 2 sets of XLR out puts for connection to Solo active loudspeakers
Outputs: 2 sets of loudspeaker terminals for Bi-wiring
Output: Approximately 30 watts RMS
