Fusion Flex Amplier
Introduction
The Fusion Flex Amplier oers a combination of sound quality and features far above what you might
expect from a “little amplier”. With its beefy toroidal transformer power supply, and classic short signal
path, Class A/B output topology, the Fusion Flex Amp delivers true audiophile quality sound, even into
dicult loads. However, what really sets the Fusion Flex Amp apart from the pack is the wide variety
of convenience and automation features that make it the go-to amp for high quality zone amp and
remote applications.
Dual line level inputs let you connect two separate audio sources; and you can switch between them
using the front panel controls, or the remote control, or the IR and RS-232 remote control inputs, or
you can even set the Fusion Flex Amp to switch to the active input automatically. You can turn the
Fusion Flex Amp on manually, or by remote control, or using the standard trigger input, or it can be
set to switch on automatically when it senses an audio signal. The digitally controlled analog volume
control oers precise control, near perfect channel tracking, and very low noise and distortion; you can
operate it from the front panel or any of the remote control options, and a row of LEDs let you see what
level your Volume is set to from across the room. You can also use the buered Loop Outputs to chain
to another Fusion Flex Amp to easily support more channels, or another zone. The Fusion Flex Amp
can be run from any standard 115 VAC or 230 VAC power line, and doesn’t have any noisy fans to annoy
you - and, with its diminutive size, the Fusion Flex Amp is easy to t into most cabinets or racks.
The Fusion Flex Amp really is the perfect solution – whether you simply need a high quality integrated
amplier for a small bedroom or oce system, or you need a fully featured zone amp that can provide
excellent sound quality, and easy integration with your other remote control and audio systems.
The Fusion Flex Amplier…. exible power.
Enjoy
