Overview

AF C8.14 bit boasts eight high-fidelity amplified channels 65W x 8 @4Ω, 100W x 8 @2Ω, with the audiophile sound of the latest generation Audison D-Class technology. Higher switching frequencies, steeper filtering, and higher-tolerance components deliver sound above and beyond the expectation of Class D – in an amazingly compact package!

This is combined with native DSP working at 24 bit/96 kHz, extending the audio band up to 40 kHz and earning the coveted High-Resolution certification. Bridging channel pairs results in 200W x 4 @4Ω, guaranteeing flexible and powerful performance. Support for the Audison B-CON’s Absolute Volume function guarantees maximum bit depth, even with wireless connections! Output Continuous Power (RMS) @14.4 VDC, 1% THD, all channels driven.

  • Improved audio performance and power thanks to the latest generation of ADT (Audison D-Class) technology
  • Unbeatable power/volume ratio up to 0.68 W RMS/cm³ reaching 82% of efficiency
  • Next-generation bit Drive software platform
  • Hi-Res compatibility performance, with an extended audio band up to 40 kHz, made possible by and DSP working operation at 24 bit/96 kHz
  • Maximum versatility thanks to the possibility of using the bridging option for each pair of power outputs
  • Up to 14 output channels (8 amplified, 6 optional pre-outs) controlled by the DSP to expand the system with other amplifiers
  • 8 high/low-level inputs (and an optical Toslink digital input) support total connectivity even with the most complex OEM systems
  • Extension card slot (additional 4 analogs or 1 digital input)
  • Electrical signal analysis for each input channel ensures proper integration and correction
  • Acoustic analysis (with your USB microphone) integrates the response graph into the equalizer display. This ensures efficient tuning and great sound!
  • Advanced signal routing options allow the technician to go beyond the predefined system definitions in the Configuration Wizard

bit Drive

Next-generation bit Drive software platform – developed for this family of products – simplifies every control and function.

arta

The acoustic analysis integrates the response graph into the equalizer display ensuring efficient tuning and great sound, compatible with any 24-bit USB microphone.

esa

Electrical Signal Analysis ensures proper integration and correction for each input channel.

All Channes Driven

The “All Channels Driven” design philosophy guarantees that the Audison amplifier delivers the rated power on all channels simultaneously. To reach that target, Audison designed the amplifier power supply to handle the cumulative power demand.

dpd

Forza amplifiers have two independent power supplies: the audio amplifier power supply is loosely regulated, which allows superior dynamic performance. The DSP power supply is stiffly regulated, which maintains DSP microprocessor operation even during lower-voltage transient states (i.e., start/stop operation).

Absolute Volume

When connected with Audison B-CON hi-res Bluetooth receiver, this feature manages the Master Volume of the Forza amp thus ensuring full dynamic range signal at the input.

8 Inputs

Equipped with eight analog inputs, to support total connectivity even with the most complex OEM systems.

de•time

Input delay compensation of time-delayed factory outputs prior to signal summing.

USS

Universal Speaker Simulator technology on high-level inputs for maximum compatibility with any type of Head-Unit OEM Source.

6 Pre-Outs

6 native pre-out channels for maximum versatility.

Hi-Res Audio

Native DSP working at 24 bit/96 kHz and an extended audio band up to 40 kHz.

Fully Bridgeable

Maximum versatility thanks to the bridging option for each pair of channels.

QIO

Quick I/O Configuration speeds up system definition and signal routing.

Maestro AR

iDatalink Maestro AR native support for a total integration with OEM infotainment.

de•eq

Automatically sums and reverses OEM equalization.

de•phase

Allows left and right inputs to match in phase before tuning, even if OEM phase processing has been used.

14 DSP Outputs

14 DSP-processed output channels for a total control.
