TANIT System has been developed in conjunction with the TSeries amplifiers. We recommend
using the TSeries amplifiers with the TANIT loudspeaker. The Tecnare TSeries Advanced System Amplifier repre

sents current state-of-the-art in amplifier technology. Offering a unique combination of massive power and peerless
audio performance integrated with unique DSP, the TSeries represents an unmatched advancement in amplifier
technology.
Also, Tecnare PA Series two and four channel power amplifiers are recommended for use with ALIS Series
together with the DP4896 processors. These amplifiers work well at 4 ohms, making it possible to power one cabinet
from each amplifier channel.
We recommend TSeries amplifiers if two and more TANIT loudspeaker needs to be connected in parallel, as
these amplifiers can comfortably drive 2 ohm loads.

Other manufacturers’ power amplifiers may be used provided they are capable of delivering the necessary
power into the joined impedance of loudspeakers in use. Note that many amplifiers suffer sonic degradation when
driving low load impedance or, worse still, shut down.
Always check your intended power amplifier’s specifications and conduct listening tests before committing to
a very low impedance system design.
