Audiolab 7000A Integrated Amplifier

Meet the 7000A Integrated Amplifier
Brought to you by Audiolab

Nestled between the 6000 and 9000, the 7000 fuses premium characteristics into a pricing category that follows the mantra of class-leading performance.

The audiolab 7000A improves on the 6000A with a genuine 70W per channel output, new DAC as well as a new full-colour IPS LCD screen and more!

More compact than the 9000 series, it maintains crisp ergonomics, high-quality engineering, a wide range of facilities and excellent all-around acoustic performance and connectivity.

Classes of A and B

Audiolab pulls no punches with the genuine nature of their power rating. The 7000As discrete Class AB power Amp stage delivers 70W per channel into eight ohms, with a maximum current delivery of 11A amps into difficult loads.

A new standard in Audiolab amplifiers, the output stage of the discrete power amp circuits uses a CFB (Complementary Feedback) topology, ensuring superior linearity and excellent thermal stability, as the idle current is kept independent of the temperature of the output transistors. The newly developed power supply features a substantial 250VA toroidal transformer, followed by 4x15000uF reservoir capacity (60000uF in total), which helps the amp to maintain rm control of the music whilst enabling excellent dynamic range.

Name Your Source

Whatever the input source analogue, digital, wireless or TV the 7000A has been crafted to the same level of detail we've come to expect from Audiolab, all with the latest tech while maintaining a price point that keeps the Audiolab brand at the forefront of quality and affordability in home audio. 

Dual analogue inputs cater for CD players and line-level sources, dual Coax and SPDIF inputs expand this for the digital sources while a Bluetooth aptX receiver serves up a solution for wireless audio playback and smart devices.

Audiolab's 7000A Integrated Amp even takes connectivity to a new dimension with a built-in Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection for use with screens to TV-app based music playback and home theatre. There's also direct-to-PC connection via USB.

Flagship DAC

As is standard with Audiolab integrated amplifiers, the 7000A reaffirms the natural integration and synergy with an ESS ES9038Q2M chip. The 7000A utilises ESS Technologys 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator. As with the 9000A, the 7000A uses a post-DAC filter based upon Class A topology and proprietary DC-coupled high-gain electronic amp designs to deliver ultra-low noise and high dynamic range.

Streaming Technology

The 7000A Integrated Amp also delivers full decoding of MQA, meaning the complete three unfold decoding process is performed internally, as opposed to just the final unfold in the manner of an MQA renderer, making the 7000A an excellent system choice for subscribers to Tidals HiFi Plus tier where Tidal Masters (MQA) content can be found.

Tables Are Turning

The 7000A's improved phono stage for moving magnet phono cartridges using an updated version of the high-quality, low noise MM Phono circuit and precise RIAA equalisation sets the benchmark in built-in phono preamplifier solutions.

Same with the dedicated headphone output. Enhancing the versatility claims of the 7000 series, the dedicated headphone amp with current-feedback circuitry caters for the head- that lurks in the audiophile! Its gain bandwidth and high slew rate ensure a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types. 

MQA All The Way

MQA tracks fold up huge packets of data to seamlessly stream some of the highest-resolution original master recordings. But to unfold everything and enjoy the full fruits of MQA you need inbuilt compatible technology. And 7000A is fully Master Quality Authenticated.

Enjoy The Aptx-Factor

Convenience never sounded so good thanks to inbuilt Bluetooth connectivity with aptX codec support. Wirelessly connect with 7000A to enjoy all your favourite albums, podcasts & playlists in stunning resolution. Its still Bluetooth, but its Bluetooth with a little X-Factor. 

ROON

The Audiolab 7000A is Roon tested, opening up to the world of Roon. Roons fundamental goal is to provide a consistently stellar user experience. It offers features like bit-perfect playback, DSD and PCM upsampling, multichannel playback, and signal path display

Satisfying Graphics

The 7000A incorporates (DPLL), brightness and operational modes. It can even be set to display a VU meter in analogue or digital form; showing real-time decibel levels for the left and right channels a satisfying graphical representation of the music as it plays.

The Audiolab 7000A delivers with remarkable sonic consistency, a plethora of source and connectivity options and crisp styling. Regardless of the source material and format, the 7000A is lively and engaging but also never loses focus on the musicality and detail. Broadness, depth and toe-tapping rhythm are assured.
