LAIV CRESCENDO CHORUS Power Amplifier Silver

LAiV Crescendo Chorus: GaN technology and optimized audio architecture

The Crescendo Chorus is based on GaN (Gallium Nitride) amplification technology, a major evolution compared to traditional MOSFETs. These transistors enable much faster switching, drastically reducing losses and distortion. It features no fewer than 4 CoolGaN™ G5 65R080D2 units from Infineon.

Result: an output signal nearly identical to the original analog signal, with more natural reproduction, improved micro-dynamics, and enhanced accuracy across the entire spectrum. This technology also minimizes heat while maintaining excellent efficiency.

Beyond technical performance, the Chorus is designed for balanced musical reproduction. It integrates high-performance signal modulators and carefully optimized driver stages, aiming to combine analytical precision with listening pleasure.

Its wide bandwidth (up to 80 kHz) and low distortion rate (< 0.005 %) allow it to faithfully reproduce details while maintaining a smooth and natural listening experience.

LAiV Crescendo Chorus: stereo or bridge mono mode

The Chorus stands out for its versatility thanks to its two operating modes:

• In stereo mode, it operates as a conventional amplifier with two independent channels, delivering 50W per channel into 8Ω.
• In bridge mono mode, it combines its two channels to produce fully differential balanced amplification, reaching 120W into 8Ω with improved dynamics and reduced noise.

This mode also enables a dual mono configuration using two units, providing complete channel separation and an even wider and more precise soundstage.

LAiV Crescendo Chorus: advanced safety, ultra-low noise power supply, and long-term reliability

The LAiV Crescendo Chorus integrates a complete microcontroller-driven protection system, ensuring reliable and safe operation under all conditions. It continuously monitors critical parameters such as DC offset at the output, overcurrent, and operating temperature, effectively protecting both the amplifier and connected speakers.

The unit also relies on an ultra-low noise 160W internal power supply, specifically designed to provide clean, stable, and instantly available current. This power quality plays a key role in overall amplifier performance by reducing interference and ensuring precise, dynamic, and controlled sound reproduction, even during demanding passages.

At startup, a full diagnostic is performed before activating the outputs, preventing any risk to connected equipment. Finally, the presence of a microSD port under the unit for firmware updates allows the device to evolve over time, ensuring long-term durability and compatibility with future improvements.
