The Concept Series creates an exciting new presence to the already powerful line of Cary Audio Design products. The CDP 1 CD Player and the CAI 1 Solid State Integrated Amplifier offer the quality you expect, the flexibility you desire, and a performance that will keep you listening for hours. The understated, attractive black and silver machined aluminum front panel allows the Concept Series components to match any audio system décor.
The CAI 1 is the matching integrated amplifier for the CDP 1 in the Concept Series. This rugged little power house offers 125 watts per channel into an 8 ohm load and 250 watts per channel into a 4 ohm speaker load. Add in the flexibility of full remote control input switching and the volume setting, one stereo pair of XLR balanced inputs and six RCA stereo pair inputs and you have a great package. The CAI 1 has a Cinema Bypass function so that it can be mixed with a home cinema surround system as the main two channel music amplifier in the home. This high powered amplifier is a digital design so it will be very efficient with low heat output for installation in tight spaces. The fully discrete RS 232 and Infra Red commands make it installer friendly, like the CDP 1 CD player. It has high quality binding posts for speakers, rear panel remote turn on triggers and IR repeater connections.
