The KIN AMP GEN1 is an integrated amplifier from KIN by Totem, sharing the value-focused engineering philosophy of the brand's KIN PLAY active speaker, built into a compact chassis. The KIN AMP GEN1 brings Totem's considered engineering to a standalone amplification format.

Key specs that matter

One single-ended input is provided. Output power is 2 x 100W into 8 ohms. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 86dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.1%. At a compact 255 x 60 x 235mm and just 2.4kg, the KIN AMP GEN1 maintains a remarkably small and lightweight footprint for its solid 100W-per-channel output.

Sound and use context

Expect dependable, accessible amplification reflecting Totem Acoustic's broader value-focused engineering philosophy, packed into a remarkably compact and lightweight chassis.

Pairing

The solid 100W-per-channel output suits a wide range of loudspeaker sensitivities, and Totem's own passive loudspeaker catalogue offers natural companion components.

Alternatives

Totem Acoustic's own KIN PLAY offers a fully active alternative combining amplification directly within the speaker enclosure instead.
