This model boasts fast signal processing and the ability to apply high currents. They are responsible for the detailed and uniform sound.
The model has the family features of the family of branded 909 and 911 tips. It traditionally uses a balanced circuit with full DC coupling without the use of separation capacitors. The input stage is equipped with discrete X-Amp modules (Class A).
The model has a traditional design for the brand. The amplifier works particularly well with low frequencies, providing detailed and deep sound.
The 216 amplifier will help acoustic systems achieve realistic surround sound even with low impedance values and complex loads.
The device develops a power of 2 x 600 watts per channel when operating on acoustics with a resistance of 4 ohms, and when switching to bridge mode, it is able to output up to 1930 watts at the same load. The amplifier has a fully symmetrical circuit, the input stages of which are made using proprietary X-Amp technology and operate in Class A.
