The I Zero is a compact integrated amplifier from Audio Note, built into a remarkably minimal chassis with a modest output power. The I Zero brings Audio Note's considered engineering to a space-efficient integrated format.
Key specs that matter
Four single-ended inputs are provided. Input sensitivity is 400mV, with input impedance at a substantial 100,000 ohms. Output power is a modest 8W into 6 ohms. At a remarkably compact 96 x 300 x 310mm and 7kg, the I Zero maintains a space-efficient integrated amplifier chassis, among the most compact within Audio Note's broader catalogue.
Sound and use context
Expect the warm, musically engaging character Audio Note's broader minimalist catalogue is celebrated for, with the modest 8W output demanding notably efficient loudspeaker partners for satisfying dynamic headroom.
Pairing
The modest 8W output pairs best with notably efficient loudspeakers for satisfying dynamic headroom.
Alternatives
Audio Note's own Cobra offers a more powerful alternative within the same broader catalogue.
