Introduction:

 Thank you for your purchase of a Knoll 

Eco-System multi-channel power amplifier and 
congratulations on your choice. This amplifier is 
specifically designed to save energy when idling, which 

can be most of the time. When compared to similar power 
amplifiers the GS8 and GS12 uses less than 5% of the 
energy required for normal amps to idle. 

 
FEATURES: 

  

 

• 

Eco-System™ Circuitry saves energy (and 
money) and increases power. 

 

Warranty

 

 

• 

12 channels x 50 watts RMS at 8 Ohms (over 
100W peak). GS8 8 channels.
