Description

The IS-1000 MKII is an integrated amplifier of the highest calibre. It combines a powerful Class AB amplifier, a MM/MC Phono preamplifier, a high-end DAC and a high-resolution streamer in a single unique source. The powerful Class AB amplifier with 125Watt 8ฮฉ @1kHz per channel ensures clean sound, vivid dynamics and the finest details. With a wide range of digital and analogue inputs, the IS-1000 MKII provides full control and freedom to upgrade, expand or connect more devices. The IS-1000 MKII is a plug-and-play device that is fully compatible with multi-room systems. You can stream music through Roon, Airplay, Tidal, MQA, Qobuz, Spotify, vTuner and Deezer, and control the IS-1000 MKII with Gold Note's easy-to-use GN Control App on your smartphone or tablet. If you love vinyl records, you can connect your turntable directly to the IS-1000 MKII and use the built-in Phono preamplifier. Some key technical specifications of the IS-1000 MKII include: - Class AB Mosfet amplifier (125Watt 8ฮฉ @1kHz) - MM & MC Phono stage developed from the multi-award winning PH-10 DAC: Deluxe model has a BurrBrown PCM1792A, while the line model has a BurrBrown PCM1796 - Total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.005% @5W and 0.1% from 0,1 to 50W (20Hz-20 kHz) - Damping factor >100 - Signal-to-noise ratio >100dB for line and digital inputs, >80 dB for Phono (MM) - Booster with 3 adjustable levels (can be disconnected) - Supports DSD64 - Network connection via LAN & Wi-Fi. The IS-1000 MKII has multiple digital and analogue inputs and outputs, including a balanced XLR input, an RCA Line/Phono MM/MC input, an RCA Line/AV-In input, an RCA fixed output (0dB, 1.4Vrms), and an RCA variable output (+9.5dB, 4Vrms max). Its output impedance is 50ฮฉ, and power consumption is between 30-400W max. The amplifier is available in two models: IS-1000 DELUXE and IS-1000 LINE, each offering 125Watts 8ฮฉ @1kHz per channel. The IS-1000 LINE has a BurrBrown PCM1796 DAC, while the IS-1000 DELUXE has an upgraded BurrBrown PCM1792A DAC. The amplifier comes with a multifunctional remote control and is available in three different finishes: black, silver and gold anodised aluminium with a traditional brushed finish. An additional feature is the "Booster", which is designed to reproduce the lower frequencies with power and control. It acts as a custom equalisation, increasing the gain around 50Hz to provide a richer and more bodily sound. This feature is particularly useful in cases where the speakers require more energy in the bass frequencies, for nighttime listening at lower volumes, or even to achieve a more realistic headroom. The amplifier measures 430mm W | 135mm H | 375mm D and weighs 18kg net, or 23kg in packaging. All devices released with the serial number 79486 cannot perform Tidal Connect, but it is possible to implement it with an optional hardware and software upgrade kit. Contact your local Gold Note authorised dealer for more information. To improve the user experience, Gold Note offers regular updates to the GN Control App, which improves the management of the MQA icon with Tidal Connect, improves the download and installation of network audio firmware, and fixes minor bugs.

Booster

Booster is a function designed to reproduce the lower frequency range with power and control. It acts as a custom equalizer that increases gain around 50Hz to provide a fuller, richer sound. The 50Hz frequency has been chosen as lower frequencies are more difficult to achieve with small speakers.
Booster provides a richer and fuller sound, for better realism and dynamics. It is particularly useful for speakers that require more energy in the bass frequencies, for night listening with lower volumes, or even to achieve a more realistic space. The booster is completely bypassed when set to AV, applied to 50 % when set to 1, applied to 100 % when set to 2.
