The AMP I V2 is a mono power amplifier from Audionet, built with an exceptionally high damping factor. This model represents Audionet's serious per-channel amplification offering, sitting within a broader family alongside the flagship MAX and the standard AMP model.

Position in line

It sits below the MAX in Audionet's mono amplifier hierarchy. This positioning below the flagship MAX confirms the AMP I V2 occupies a serious but somewhat more accessible tier than the brand's absolute flagship mono amplifier.

Key specs that matter

Input impedance is 37,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is 200 W into 8 ohms, rising to 300 W into 4 ohms. Rated bandwidth is an extraordinary 0 Hz to 300 000 Hz. Signal-to-noise exceeds 106 dB. Maximum power consumption is 1500 W. Damping factor exceeds 10,000 at 100 Hz, an exceptionally high figure. At 430 x 175 x 315 mm and 28 kg it is a substantial, heavy chassis.

Sound and use context

Expect an extremely controlled presentation with the exceptionally high damping factor exceeding 10,000 suggesting extraordinarily firm grip on loudspeaker cone motion - a serious performer reflecting Audionet's characteristic German engineering ambition applied to per-channel mono amplification.

Pairing

The 37,000 ohm input impedance works with any modern preamplifier without gain-matching concerns, and the exceptionally high damping factor suits demanding loudspeaker loads particularly well.

Alternatives

Audionet's flagship MAX sits above this model for even greater output and refinement; the standard AMP sits nearby as a related design, worth comparing directly with a dealer on specific output level before choosing between these positioned Audionet mono amplifiers. Audionet extensive dealer network across Germany and beyond makes arranging a direct comparison against the flagship MAX practical, helping clarify exactly how much additional output and refinement that model buys for a specific system. A rigid, well-supported equipment shelf remains worthwhile given this substantial chassis weight. Overall this remains a serious mono amplifier choice within Audionet flagship-adjacent catalogue. A dealer visit remains the simplest way to compare current pricing against the flagship MAX. A dealer demonstration remains worthwhile before committing to any specific purchase. A dealer demonstration remains worthwhile.
