D-TECH 8000i
The
D-TECH i SERIES
is a
top of the
range amplifier made with the latest technology and high
quality materials. It is one of the most powerful amplifiers on
the market, with a clear sound and versatile features which make
the
D-TECH i SERIES
the most advanced
power amplifier manufactured by
TAFN Engineering.
The most remarkable
feature of this series is its
versatility. It can switch between 2
ohms or 4 ohms mode,
delivering maximal possible headroom for
each type of load. This feature is never
achieved by a conventional amplifier.
The
D-TECH i SERIES
amps are made of high quality materials including
the best connectors and breaker available.
It features a light-weight, compact design in 1.5 unit size, and
comes wth extra features unique to this series, such as the
customisable limiter, and refined filter for clearer sound. |

FULL CYCLE
SPEAKER CONE CONTROL
The
D-TECH i SERIES special circuitry gives the amplifier more
control over the movement of the speaker cone, yielding a realistic,
rock-solid sound. Analog power amplifiers can have high damping factor
when pushing the speaker cone (in or out), but have little clamping
capability when pulling it back to neutral position. They rely mostly on
the speaker spider to return the cone to center position.
D-TECH i
SERIES amplifiers,
however, damp the electricity generated from the speaker, forcing the
speaker cone to pull back to centre position before the other half-cycle
begins. The speaker spider, a mechanical device which performs the
function of a speaker spring, has its own resonance, which can distort
the sound signal. It can also wear out, slowing the speaker cone
response time.
Because
D-TECH i SERIES power amplifiers force the speaker cone to
pull back to neutral position by clamping the speaker cone electrically
at all times, sound remains clear and tight even if the speaker spider
is worn out.
As
D-TECH i SERIES power amplifiers rely less on the speaker
spider, mechanical errors caused by resonance and slow response time are
kept to a minimum. Result: Tight, clean and realistic bass and even
mid-range.
OPTIMAL POWER
DELIVERY
D-TECH
i SERIES
power amplifiers allow
users to switch between two modes of optimal power
distribution: 4 ohm (two speakers), or 2 ohm (four speakers) per
channel.
The amplifier delivers
maximal possible power in an optimal way in whichever mode is chosen,
without stressing the amplifier
while maintaining a tight sound.
Our
limiter shrinks the signal to fit the dynamic range of the
amplifier.
The user can
customize attack and release times of the limiter. For a heavier
bass punch sound, the limiter can be adjusted for a slower response
time and faster release time. For a clearer
mid-high sound, a faster response time
and slower release time may be desirable.
The customization
of the limiter also permits safely more versatile use of
different sizes of speakers by giving
them more protection.
The
D-TECH i
limiter allows high
energy controlled peaks without risk of the burning
the speaker while ensuring
crisp powerful sound. |
While other
amplifiers have only one optimal mode,
D-TECH i SERIES
has two optimal modes for power delivery.
When in
LZ mode, power is optimally distributed in higher load current
(more speakers per channel), and in
normal mode, the power
is distributed in higher head room (more power per
speaker).
Although
these modes are for optimal matching at their respective loads,
the power amplifier can still take any type of load in each mode.
This option improves the versatility of the amplifier and is a
feature that no other amplifiers can
offer efficiently.
The LZ mode can
also be used to limit the output power per speaker to
ensure when less powerful speakers are
used, they are not
accidentally overpowered.
The
customizable limiter further adapts the
amplifier’s performance to suit the speaker
type.

the
secret of clean sound
One reason why
D-TECH i SERIES power amplifiers sound so clean
is because they have eliminated hidden intermodulation.
Harmonics outside the
audio band, which occur mainly between the
power amplifier’s output power
stage and the speaker load, are
the main cause of intermodulation inside the
audio band which then dirties the sound.
Intermodulation takes
place due to the low damping factor of the amp
at high frequencies, and the reactive behavior of the speaker,
especially outside the audio band.
D-TECH i SERIES, thanks to its highly advanced output filter and
it's signal process circuitry, cuts
out harmonics outside the
audio band sharply, with almost no phase shift,
thus eliminating intermodulation inside the audio band.
Intermodulation cannot
feed back into the audio band, as the harmonics are not
present any more to produce
it in the first place.
Most power amplifiers
fail to address the problem of intermodulation. Their
specifications say the power amplifiers have
little intermodulation
distortion. However, power amplifiers
are tested on resistor loads, which are not reactive
like speakers. So
they do not show the true extent of the
problem, as they can't mimic the
reactive behavior of speakers.
Tested on
real speakers, however, the difference
becomes clear: The sound from
the
D-TECH i SERIES
power amp is better because our
technology truly avoids intermodulation
when it cuts out harmful harmonics at source. |

the MOST ADVANCED
protection system
The
D-TECH i SERIES
contains a full range of protection features to prevent
against high-frequency
oscillation, short-circuiting, current overloads, sudden power surges,
and overheating.
We safeguard
against every possible risk, and even offer a soft-turn on feature which
avoids any surge in current when turn on the amp,
allowing many amps to be turned on at once.
