Product Information
Feature-packed yet still focused on the highest quality sound, the Audiolab 9000A delivers in every respect.
The great all-rounder
Premium sound quality, class-leading versatility and style combine to make the Audiolab 9000A the latest in a long line of brilliant all-rounder Audiolab amps. The 100 watt amplifier is powerful enough for the largest spaces yet subtle enough to let your music shine. Connectivity spans the full digital and analogue realm, from Hi-Res via USB to turntable via the built-in phonostage. A fresh new style with colour LCD display looks smart and helps keep the button count down for a minimalist look.
Premium sound quality
First and foremost, the 9000A is all about sound quality. Using their highly regarded CFB (Complementary Feedback) technology, the amplifier is highly stable and thermally efficient. The pre-amp section is kept as simple as possible, with high quality components used throughout. This gives the amp very low levels of background noise, letting even the most subtle nuances of music shine through.
Power to impress
Delivering a mighty 100 watts per channel from its Class AB power amplifier, the 9000A is twice as powerful as the 6000A model. Achieved by using a substantial toroidal transformer and quad 15,000uF output capacitors, this amp always has plenty in reserve. With this much power to hand you get effortlessly extended bass, high volume capability and a full-bodied sound at lower volumes. Whatever your room size or speaker load, the 9000A simply delivers.
Digital connectivity
With the world renowned ESS 9038PRO 32-bit DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) at its heart, the 9000A shines with all digital sources. For the ultimate sound quality, connect your computer via the USB-B and enjoy music file playback up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and DSD512. There are also two optical and two coaxial connections that are ideal for a CD/DVD player, TV, games console and network streamer. These handle hi-res music files up to 24-bit/192kHz and benefit from selectable digital filters to optimise the sound quality.
MQA and Roon Tested
Featuring full MQA compatibility, the 9000A makes the perfect partner for streaming music services such as TIDAL’s HiFi Plus tier. The format delivers Hi-Res sound without using the bandwidth of conventional file types letting you store more tracks and/or get a more reliable streaming service without buffering when used with lower capacity broadband services.
With Roon Tested certification, the 9000A works seamlessly within a Roon multi-platform, multiroom system.
Bluetooth aptX HD for high quality, wireless sound
For top quality, wireless sound, the 9000A is equipped with Bluetooth aptX HD. Pair with your compatible smartphone, tablet or laptop and enjoy Hi-Res sound quality, wirelessly. Ideal for getting the best sound quality from your premium music services or stored music files, aptX HD gives a more detailed and dynamic sound that’s a huge improvement on regular Bluetooth.
High quality phonostage for your premium turntable
The perfect match for a quality turntable, the built-in Moving Magnet (MM) phonostage means you don’t have to buy a separate device. Precision RIAA equalisation sets the phonostage apart from lesser designs and means that you get exceptional detail and the full benefit of the rich vinyl sound from your precious record collection.
Balanced inputs for the ultimate connection
Alongside the digital and turntable connections, the 9000A also features three AUX line-level inputs and balanced XLR inputs. Matched to a compatible source, these give the ultimate connection with the highest level of resistance to electrical interference.
Interactive LCD display
New for the 9000-series, the interactive LCD screen displays a wide range of interactive info. Choose between source display, music file quality, left/right VU metres or volume displays. Or, for the least distraction, simply turn the display off.
Enjoy upgraded sound for your entire system, with the Audiolab 9000A.
