Norma HS IPA-1 Integrated Amplifier
Taxes & Shipping Included
The Norma HS IPA-1 redefines compact amplification for the discerning listener. Engineered to occupy minimal space without compromising sonic integrity, this integrated amplifier delivers 75 watts per channel at 8 ohms—substantial power in a footprint smaller than most conventional components. Ideal for those who refuse to sacrifice audio excellence for practicality, it combines refined engineering with elegant restraint.
In addition to the potent punch, the HS-IPA1 offers great versatility. One of the four inputs available can be configured to instead work as a pre-out, allowing users a simple solution to hook up another amplifier or pair of subwoofers. With the optional headphone, phono, and DAC boards, one can get a fully integrated solution for any use they require - just add a music source!
Because of this versatility and size, it is a perfect solution for the audiophile who choose to run a two channel system in shared spaces, such as the living room. With the optional DAC, its even ready to take over TV audio responsibilities!
The HS IPA-1 amplifier was born from the desire to offer the sophistication of Norma sound in a single compact solution, combined with surprising completeness and versatility of use. Admiring the complex but linear internal engineering, the parallel with the architecture of the best mechanical watches comes naturally: complex and fascinating as a whole, it is evident how each element has its own specific function and finds its own space. The generous sizing of the power supplies is combined with circuitry implemented on several overlapping levels. The almost total lack of wiring testifies to the care and respect for the integrity of the musical signal. HS IPA-1 features 4 analog inputs, fixed level tape output, Phono MM/MC input.
Options include a phono input or a USB input
