Cinénova-IR16 Power Amplifier

Special Features

Special Features

Eight individual power supplies:

The Cinénova-IR16 is designed with 8 individual power supplies(bifilar) for power isolation, accuracy and better channel separation.

Peak LED indicators:

The Cinénova-IR16 is equipped with 16 LED indicators on the front panel. They show the operating status of each channel; the LEDs will illuminate when the maximum recommended output is exceeded. If an LED is illuminated the majority of the time, it indicates that the corresponding channel is over-driven (clipped). The input to the channel must be reduced to eliminate distortion and eventually, damages to the amplifier.

Thermal protection:

Each channel is equipped with a thermal sensor designed to shut the amplifier down when it overheats. Overheating is not typical. It only occurs if the amplifier is over driven with low impedance speakers, or if the amplifier is located in an improperly ventilated space.

Individually selected and matched components:

Components used to construct the Cinénova-IR16 are subjected to an exhaustive selection process; during which, the components are matched and individually tested to exact tolerance. The multi-layer, glass-epoxy, double sided printed circuit boards exceed the standard stringent requirements by 50%.

8-Zones:

The Cinénova-IR16 delivers up to 8-zones, and several other room combinations to better suite the your needs.

Rack mountable:

This amplifier is designed to conveniently mount in commonly used racks.

110V AC and 220V AC selectable:

The Cinénova-IR16 is factory preset to 110-120VAC. However, it can also be set to accommodate 220-240VAC by Earthquake authorized technician(s)/dealer(s).

Remote zone control:

Each of the eight possible zones can be controlled by a wireless IR remote control. Each remote has the ability to control volume’s up/down level, mute and also repeat the IR signal to other sources.

Bus input:

This feature simplifies installation by consolidating several channels for one source. Simply plug the input source RCAs into the BUS input on the unit. Then switch the input source selector to BUS for as many channels are connected to the corresponding input source.

Bridgeable function (minimum impedance = 4-ohm):

The Cinénova-IR16 delivers up to 8-zones, and can be bridged into several different configurations for higher power rooms.

4 or 8-ohm compatible:

Since speakers are manufactured in several different impedance ratings, Earthquake Sound’s Cinénova-IR16 amplifier is designed to be 4 and 8-Ohm compatible.
