The Premiera A1S is a cutting-edge integrated Class AB Hi-Fi stereo amplifier that features a built-in network player, MM phono preamplifier, DAC, Bluetooth connectivity, HDMI ARC, Wi-Fi, and AirPlay 2, delivering a rated output power of 51W per channel.
The Premiera A1S appearance, with the overall restraint of design typical of all Premiera devices, is extremely functional and reflects the advanced capabilities of this amplifier. The front panel contains all the main amplifier controls – volume control, source selection buttons, tone block settings, playback control. The Premiera A1S display is informative, the settings menu is convenient and simple, with its help you can turn on the loudness compensation, turn off the tone block, adjust the brightness of the display and buttons, update the software and, if necessary, return to factory settings. The already familiar from other Premiera amplifiers knob (encoder) or remote control helps you navigate the menu – what a modern amplifier without a remote control!
There are eleven possible input sources! The HDMI ARC input expands the amplifier’s capabilities, allowing you to play a soundtrack from any modern TV, TV or game console. There are also three analog outputs – two stereo (adjustable for an external amplifier) and one mono (for an active subwoofer). The digital signal is processed by the well-known DAC on the ES9018K2M Sabre chip. An additional DAC can be connected to the amplifier – the Premiera A1S has a coaxial digital output. The convenient and intuitive Audio System mobile application allows you to connect to Wi-Fi and set up a network player.
The amplifier section, which is responsible for the main function of the Premiera A1S amplifier, is built on a proprietary toroidal transformer with a power of 300 W. Premiera A1S is a classic integrated amplifier with a deceptively modest and compact appearance, but with the most modern and extremely wide range of functions, with the latest analog and digital technologies, with software updates, with universal use capabilities, with excellent sound and, most importantly, with a price that is unlikely to be offered by its closest competitors.
