New Zealand brand Java HiFi has introduced two new integrated amplifiers in the Java Carbon series – Java Carbon Single Shot and Double Shot . The new products are clad in a durable carbon fiber body and equipped with new IsoAcoustics Gaia vibration-isolating mounts.
In addition to the 9mm carbon fiber outer housing, renowned for its damping and noise-isolating properties, the amplifiers were designed with special attention to unique materials used inside the housing to reduce the effects of radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
These enhancements combine seamlessly with components such as ETI FS-08 silver RCA connectors, ETI Research Kryo silver speaker terminals and new IsoAcoustics Gaia IV supports.
The pre-amplification stage uses proprietary light-dependent resistor (LDR) technology, which provides galvanic isolation of the analog path and control electronics. This technology was first used in the Java LDR preamplifier, with which the company’s history began in 2016. The output stages of the new products are made on GaN FET transistors (using gallium nitride) and operate in class D.
The Java Carbon Single Shot and Java Carbon Double Shot integrated amplifiers are available now with suggested retail prices of $12,995 and $16,995 , respectively.
Java Carbon Single Shot specs:
- Output power – 200 W (8 Ohms)
- Analog inputs – 2 pairs of RCA line inputs, MM phono input
- Analog Outputs – 1 pair of RCA preamp outputs
- Digital Inputs – USB-B with HD support, Bluetooth wireless with aptX support
Java Carbon Double Shot specs:
- Output power – 400 W (8 Ohms)
- Topology – fully balanced, dual mono
- Analog Inputs – 4 pairs of XLR line inputs, MM phono input
- Analog Outputs – 2 pairs of XLR outputs (fixed and variable)
- Digital Inputs – USB-B with HD support, Bluetooth wireless with aptX support
