The Audiolab 6000A amplifier packs enough power to effortlessly drive most speakers, making it an ideal tonal partner for the KEF Q Concerto speakers. Its high-performance DAC, complete with four digital inputs, ensures seamless connectivity with a wide range of digital sources.
Alongside this, it offers three line-level analogue inputs, a dedicated turntable input, wireless Bluetooth connectivity, and a built-in headphone amp. With such versatility, the Audiolab 6000A is crafted to meet the demands of any modern audio setup, delivering exceptional sound quality across all formats.
Versatile Design for Modern Music Lovers
The Audiolab 6000A Integrated Amplifier is designed for music lovers seeking premium performance sound quality at an affordable price. In today’s audio landscape, amplifiers must handle a variety of sources, including digital and analogue, offer wireless connectivity, and support both headphones and speakers. The 6000A does all this while maintaining top-tier performance, featuring rotary controls, an OLED display, and a variety of inputs, including digital, analogue, Bluetooth, and phono.
Advanced Digital Circuitry
The 6000A’s digital section uses the ES9018 Sabre32 Reference DAC, renowned for its high dynamic range and low noise, thanks to ESS Technology’s HyperStream architecture. Audiolab has perfected the integration of this DAC, ensuring the surrounding circuitry enhances its musical expression. Drawing from the company’s extensive experience with this technology, the 6000A delivers impressive digital performance akin to standalone DACs, building on the legacy of the acclaimed M-DAC.
Analogue Power and Connectivity
On the analogue side, the 6000A features a Class AB power amp delivering 50W per channel, using a CFB topology for superior thermal stability and linearity. With a robust 200VA transformer and 60000uF of reservoir capacity, it ensures dynamic and controlled sound. The preamp is designed for signal purity, while the amplifier also includes a high-quality phono stage for vinyl playback and a dedicated headphone amp, offering dynamic performance across all listening formats.
A Concert in Speaker Form
The KEF Q Concerto META honours the classic Concerto, originally launched in 1969, by making high-fidelity audio more accessible for home use. As the first 3-way bookshelf speaker in the Q Series, it integrates advanced technology from KEF’s higher-end ranges, including The Reference and R Series. The Concerto META features the latest Uni-Q driver array, enhanced bass, and a sleek cabinet design, delivering superior performance and modern aesthetics.
The Q Concerto META benefits from a larger cabinet and an additional LF driver, resulting in improved frequency separation, more pronounced bass, and clearer stereo imaging. This combination of features ensures a richer, more detailed sound experience, making it an excellent choice for stereo setups and home theatre systems in medium to smaller rooms.
Building on KEF’s award-winning heritage, the Q Series now includes the latest 12th generation Uni-Q driver array and Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™).
This iteration offers enhanced sound clarity and reduced distortion through a refined 3-way design and revolutionary sound absorption. The Q Series also incorporates Shadow Flare technology to minimise cabinet diffraction, ensuring precise and immersive audio for both music and cinematic experiences.
