Edwards Audio Apprentice IA6 Integrated Amplifier

The new IA6 is an evolution of our new full width  designs and has an updated MOSFET design power amplifier with an all new pre-amp stage all controlled via an all metal RC5 handset with optical mute links if used with external power amplifiers.
 
At its heart there is a strong power linear supply with RC filtering, It has a semi-symmetrical circuit topology for both the pre and power amplifier sections. As with all EA amplifier the inputs are switched by high quality relays.
 
The power amp section is a class AB MOSFET  100W fully discrete design.
 
It has 6 inputs, one of which a dedicated to a new, fully discrete MM Phono (turntable) with the remaining 5 being for line sources such as CD, DAC’s, Streamers, tuners, tape recorders. There is a fixed output for recording or other slave devices such as an external headphone amplifier.
 
The front panel has a dedicated professional 6.3mm 1/4″ Neutrik headphone socket which switches off the loudspeakers when inserted. This is driven from the class A pre-amp output and not taken from the power-amp and resisted down, as is usual, this ensures the listener a much superior result.
 
Other possible upgrade options include an optional pre-amp output allowing you to upgrade with the addition of a power amplifier like our  P5 which can then be used in bi-amp mode.
 
The IA5/2 is available in the following anodised colours: Black, Gun Metal Grey and Titanium SIlver.
