The Electrocompaniet ECI 80 D integrated amplifier belongs to the initial Classic Line. One of the main features of this device is the presence on board of a two-way Bluetooth circuit capable of working both for receiving and distributing an audio signal.
The all-metal body has a strict, laconic design. The left side of the front panel is occupied by a large display window, which displays the selected input, volume level and other symbols. The power/standby key is located in the center. On the right side there are 4 buttons arranged in the form of a cross. The top and bottom buttons adjust the volume in steps, and the other two serve as an input selector.
The model develops a power of 80 W at 8 Ohms, and when connecting speakers with an impedance of 2 Ohms, this figure increases to 300 W. The damping coefficient exceeds 300 units, which allows the amplifier to work with low-impedance speaker systems. The Electrocompaniet ECI 80 D amplifier uses a balanced circuit topology and the same design principles as the Classic line. All components undergo careful selection. Printed circuit boards with surface mount technology (SMT) are installed, thanks to which it is possible to improve the quality of signal transmission and also reduce the cost of the model. The power supply uses a toroidal transformer.
Electrocompaniet ECI 80 D has the following inputs: three line RCA, two coaxial, three optical connectors and a MM phono stage. To connect speakers there are 2 pairs of screw terminals installed on the right side of the rear panel. The universal remote control allows you to control the amplifier from a distance.
The Electrocompaniet ECI 80 D amplifier has an extremely low harmonic distortion coefficient of only 0.005% and a wide frequency range (from 1 Hz to 225 kHz). The input stage has no negative connection and operates in pure class “A”. The output stage uses a shallow negative coupling for better control of the low-frequency range, as well as to achieve a detailed and open mid-range and a soft, warm high-end. All this is done to accurately and authentically reproduce your favorite music. Its sound captivates with emotion, precision, attention to detail, powerful dynamics, articulated bass and a realistic scene with the correct arrangement of images in space.
