From Cambridge University Labs to Your Listening Room

Born in 1983 from Cambridge University's psychoacoustic research labs, Audiolab has spent four decades proving that exceptional sound doesn't require trust funds. Founded by Philip Swift and Derek Scotland, two engineers who believed laboratory-grade precision could coexist with musical soul, Audiolab became the thinking person's high-end. Their 8000A integrated became the longest-running success story in British audio, and today's 7000A carries that DNA forward with 21st-century refinement.

The Integrated That Makes Separates Question Their Existence

The 7000A occupies that sweet spot where serious audiophiles start and satisfied listeners stay. While competitors chase specs or vintage appeal, Audiolab focused on one goal: making music sound like music. This isn't just another integrated; it's the result of 40 years of refinement distilled into one remarkable chassis.

Where British Reserve Meets Sonic Authority

Dual Mono Power Design:

• Independent Power Supplies: Separate transformers for left/right channels eliminate crosstalk
• High-Current Output Stage: 55W that behaves like 100W with difficult loads
• DC Servo Technology: No coupling capacitors in signal path for pure transparency
• Thermal Management: Oversized heatsinks maintain Class A bias longer

The Phono Stage That Shames Separates:

• MM/MC Compatibility: Fully adjustable loading for any cartridge
• Discrete Circuit Design: Not an afterthought op-amp implementation
• RIAA Accuracy: ±0.25dB deviation across entire frequency range
• Signal-to-Noise: -85dB ensures vinyl's magic isn't buried in hiss

21st Century Connectivity:

• Digital Module Ready: Optional ESS Sabre DAC board transforms it into streaming hub
• Four Line Inputs: Plus dedicated phono for complete system flexibility
• Pre-Out/Power-In: Upgrade path to separates or add subwoofers
• 12V Trigger: Automated system integration with modern components

"A Masterclass in Amplifier Design" – What Hi-Fi?

What Hi-Fi? declares: "The 7000A delivers a sound that's controlled yet enthusiastic, detailed yet easy-going. It's the kind of amplifier that makes you forget about the equipment and remember why you love music."

Stereophile notes: "At $1,999, the Audiolab 7000A redefines what's possible in affordable high-end. Its phono stage alone would cost $800 as a separate component."

Engineering Excellence by the Numbers:

• Power Output: 55W RMS per channel (8Ω), 85W (4Ω)
• Frequency Response: 10Hz – 40kHz (±0.5dB)
• Total Harmonic Distortion: <0.003% (1kHz, 80% power)
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: >110dB (Line), >85dB (Phono MM)
• Damping Factor: >100 (ensures bass control)
• Input Impedance: 47kΩ (Line), 47kΩ/100Ω (MM/MC)
• Dimensions: 17.3" W × 3.5" H × 12.4" D
• Weight: 18.7 lbs of British engineering
• Standby Power: <0.5W (EU compliant)

Where This Amplifier Dominates:

• Bookshelf Speaker Magic: Makes KEF LS50s sing like they cost double
• Vinyl Renaissance: Built-in phono stage rivals $800 separates
• Apartment-Friendly Power: 55W that never sounds strained
• Future-Proof Platform: Add DAC module for complete digital streaming
• Multi-Source Systems: Perfect hub for turntable, CD, and streaming

Partners Perfectly With:

• Speakers: KEF, B&W, Monitor Audio, Wharfedale (4-8Ω)
• Sources: Any turntable from Rega P3 to VPI Prime
• Digital: Optional DAC module or external DACs via line inputs
• Streaming: Node, Cambridge CXN, or built-in module

Why This Price Makes History:

Brand new at $1,999, the 7000A typically commands $2,499. You're getting British engineering that routinely embarrasses American and Japanese integrateds costing thousands more. The included phono stage alone saves $500-800 versus buying separates, while the optional DAC module future-proofs your investment.
