In order to deliver world-class home cinema or gaming experiences in a media or multi-purpose room, plenty of power is a must -- and the Acurus M8 delivers it. With 200 clean watts of power per channel available to drive eight 8Ω loudspeakers simultaneously, every movie, concert or just plain 2-channel source will grab hold and create a listening experience beyond compare.
The M8 uses a patented class D amplifier topology that is incredibly efficient, quiet, and free of any hint of audio distortion. While the M8 is ideally paired with the Acurus Muse immersive processor for a supreme marriage of world-renowned Acurus audio engineering, this amplifier is flexible enough to pair up with virtually any high-quality pre-amplifier to deliver high power and outstanding audio specifications.
Perfectly sized for media and multipurpose rooms, the M8 is bristling with control options in its compact 2RU frame. Interface through IR, 12V trigger, RS232, ethernet, and use the M8’s beautiful mobile app for control, or through one of the many 3rd party control solutions supported by the M8.
