TiFi Kraken Subwoofer & Amplifier
TiFi Kraken Passive Subwoofer and AUDIOPHONICS TPA-S120 Class D 2.1 Amplifier, crafted for integration with TiFi Argos computer speakers. The TiFi Kraken is tailored for desktop or shelf placement. Featuring dual oppositely positioned (bipole) SB Acoustics aluminum loudspeakers housed within a sealed enclosure, this subwoofer ensures minimal vibration with its two five-inch loudspeakers. Enjoy natural bass starting from about 40 Hz, tapering off gracefully at the lower end (with the option to extend the lower range with an equalizer). Crossover is facilitated by the amplifier's internal filter frequency set at 120 Hz, eliminating the need for an additional subwoofer crossover.
The AUDIOPHONICS TPA-S120 amplifier boasts a main speaker amplification stage of 2x120W and a subwoofer amplification stage of 1x240W, meticulously crafted from top-tier components. Offering versatile connectivity options including Bluetooth 5.0 (AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, LDAC), USB-B, Optical Tosilink, Coaxial, USB memory stick, and analog input, this amplifier allows for independent adjustment of speaker and subwoofer amplification, along with sound tuning across three ranges. Complete with a remote control. The TiFi Kraken's design is optimized for convenient placement of the amplifier atop the subwoofer, minimizing desk space needed.
Available as a unified kit.
Precise bassTiFi Kraken is designed for use directly on the desktop or on a shelf. The frequency range and features are similar to most small-class subwoofers. TiFi Kraken is created with the demands of music listening in mind. Typically for a sealed subwoofer, there is no disturbing hum or reverberation. Loudspeakers with rigid aluminum diaphragms ensure that the bass is clean and precise. The subwoofer's nominal power is 100W with an impedance 8 ohms. The speaker's housing is 3D-printed using food-grade plastic, free from toxic paints and odor. It can be used in bedrooms, home offices, and other living spaces. With a small ecological footprint, the production process generates minimal waste. |

Modern AmplifierA modern Class-D amplifier. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.0, USB-B, Optical Tosilink, Coaxial, USB memory stick inputs. It receives Bluetooth signal through the Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.0 receiver, which supports the latest protocols and high-resolution Bluetooth signals. The sound parameters are controlled by the TDA7419 DSP (Digital Signal Processor). The digital signal is converted to high-quality analog signal by the ES9018K2M DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) from ESS. The amplification stage is implemented with two TPA3255 microchips. The amplifier is characterized by good dynamics and efficiency. The total power of the amplifier is 480 W for 4-ohm speakers and 240 W for 8-ohm speakers. In addition to passive subwoofer and speaker outputs, there is also an additional RCA output for connecting an active subwoofer. It allows separate adjustment of the amplification for speakers and subwoofer, as well as sound equalization in three ranges (+/- 15 dB). The amplifier is manufactured in China upon order from Audiophonics. |
