Fusion Flex Amplifier

Introduction

The Fusion Flex Amplifier offers a combination of sound quality and features far above what you might 

expect from a “little amplifier”. With its beefy toroidal transformer power supply, and classic short signal 

path, Class A/B output topology, the Fusion Flex Amp delivers true audiophile quality sound, even into 

difficult loads. However, what really sets the Fusion Flex Amp apart from the pack is the wide variety 

of convenience and automation features that make it the go-to amp for high quality zone amp and 

remote applications. 
Dual line level inputs let you connect two separate audio sources; and you can switch between them 

using the front panel controls, or the remote control, or the IR and RS-232 remote control inputs, or 

you can even set the Fusion Flex Amp to switch to the active input automatically. You can turn the 

Fusion Flex Amp on manually, or by remote control, or using the standard trigger input, or it can be 

set to switch on automatically when it senses an audio signal. The digitally controlled analog volume 

control offers precise control, near perfect channel tracking, and very low noise and distortion; you can 

operate it from the front panel or any of the remote control options, and a row of LEDs let you see what 

level your  Volume is set to from across the room. You can also use the buffered Loop Outputs to chain 

to another Fusion Flex Amp to easily support more channels, or another zone.  The Fusion Flex Amp 

can be run from any standard 115 VAC or 230 VAC power line, and doesn’t have any noisy fans to annoy 

you - and, with its diminutive size, the Fusion Flex Amp is easy to fit into most cabinets or racks.
The Fusion Flex Amp really is the perfect solution – whether you simply need a high quality integrated 

amplifier for a small bedroom or office system, or you need a fully featured zone amp that can provide 

excellent sound quality, and easy integration with your other remote control and audio systems.

The Fusion Flex Amplifier…. flexible power.

Enjoy
