DISTINCT DISTRIBUTORS CI1255E 12-Channel Multi-Zone Amplifier

The Hafler CI-1255e™ is an innovative 12-channel amplifier designed for multi-zone custom homes, as well as numerous demanding commercial sound installations such as restaurants and social houses, where high performance audio is required and reliability is of utmost concern. The design begins with gold plated RCA inputs which provide optimal signal transfer and won't tarnish over time. A stereo bus input may be used to feed all channels simultaneously from a single source. This is paralleled on the front panel via a convenient 3.5 mm input for an iPhone®, tablet or Bluetooth® interface for easy testing by the installer. Speaker outputs employ detachable Euroblock (Phoenix® style) connectors for easy termination with 10 AWG to 24 AWG speaker wire. As with all Hafler amplifiers, sound quality and reliability are paramount. Unlike other multi-channel amplifiers that use sonically compromising class-D switch-mode designs, the Hafler CI-1255e employs true class AB architecture to deliver 55 W RMS per channel of pure power at 8 Ohms and 70 W RMS at 4 Ohms on each channel. Channels 11 and 12 may be configured in bridged mono mode to deliver 180 W RMS to power a subwoofer. Individual gain controls allow for precise adjustments for each of the 12 channels. Front and rear panel signal presence LEDs provide further aid during setup by allowing for visual monitoring of signal flow. Should a problem be encountered, the CI-1255e Fault-Safe™ circuit will automatically shut down the compromised channel and self-reset when the fault is removed. This is augmented with peak LEDs on the front panel to monitor signal levels for each channel. An OmniPort™ allows for additional connectivity choices with optional modules for a Dante® digital network card, Jensen™ transformer-isolated inputs or Euroblock inputs. Housed in a compact 17 inch x 3.5 inch x 11.5 inch (432 x 89 x 292 mm) solid steel enclosure, the CI-1255e may be rack-mounted in a standard 19 inch 2 RU rack using optional rack ears. An ultra-quiet side-mounted HushTone™ fan generates a mere 28dB as it pressurizes the unit to circulate air and cool the amplifier. The CI-1255e is equipped with ecoSYSTEM™, an energy conservation circuit, which will automatically shut off the amplifier after one minute when not in use and will power-up in just 10 msec once an audio signal is detected at any of the inputs. To address international usage, the CI-1255e is equipped with a dual-voltage toroidal power transformer with a selector switch for 115 and 230 V operation and is TUV safety certified.
