The AI 1.10 is an integrated amplifier from Canor Audio, built with a flexible dual-power configuration. The AI 1.10 brings Canor's considered engineering to a complete integrated chassis with the brand's characteristic tube-informed heritage.

Key specs that matter

Five single-ended inputs are provided. Input sensitivity is 500mV, with input impedance at 30,000 ohms. Output power is a flexible 2 x 20W or 2 x 40W into 8 ohms, matching the same figures into 4 ohms - suggesting a selectable output-power configuration. Frequency response spans 10Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 95dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.05%. At 435 x 170 x 485mm and 26kg, the AI 1.10's considerable weight reflects serious internal transformer engineering consistent with a tube-informed design.

Sound and use context

Expect the warm, richly textured character Canor's broader tube-informed catalogue is celebrated for, with the flexible dual-power configuration accommodating different loudspeaker sensitivity requirements.

Pairing

The flexible 20W/40W output configuration suits a range of loudspeaker sensitivities depending on the selected power setting.

Alternatives

Canor's own AI 1.20 offers a related model with a somewhat different power configuration within the same broader catalogue.
