B.audio launches the new Alpha One streaming integrated amplifier and will begin shipping products immediately.
13 September 2023: Englewood, Colorado – In tandem with France’s B.audio, Monarch Systems is excited to announce the release of the Alpha One streaming integrated amplifier. Specialists in high-end audio electronics, the French manufacturer is introducing its first streaming integrated amplifier. The Alpha One is the result of experience acquired during the development of their Reference Series electronics and represents a synthesis of B.audio technological know-how.
The Alpha One combines cutting-edge digital electronics and conversion, volume control, and multiple analog and digital inputs with a dual-mono, 120W Class AB amplifier in a single enclosure. B.audio’s proprietary EX networking module is also included, offering 64-bit active acoustic correction and advanced streaming capabilities. The Alpha One is a Roon certified endpoint, enables qobuz, TIDAL, and Spotify streaming, and includes Apple’s wireless Airplay® connectivity.
All main components of products manufactured by B.audio are designed in-house and developed by their team.
The manufacturing of casework and electronic boards is carried out in France by rigorously selected local suppliers, while final assembly is carried out by hand in the company's workshops in Saint Hippolyte, in the heart of the Alsatian vineyards. “The B AUDIO Alpha is a true all-in-one audio solution able to accommodate any method of music listening. The Alpha’s built in room correction software helps to bring the system in sync with the unique acoustic characteristics of any room,” said Jon Baker of Monarch Systems Ltd. Rich Maez adds, “The most popular audio electronics at this time are streaming digital integrated amplifiers. With its combination of multiple inputs and conveniences, digital capability, and sound quality, the Alpha One is the perfect solution for music lovers, audiophiles, and everyday users alike.”
B.audio SAS was created by a sibling team of engineers whose professional experiences enabled them to take a fresh and unique look at the challenges of sound reproduction. Convinced that it was possible to go further by leveraging modern technologies, they used their expertise to create their first prototypes. The feedback received from audio professionals world-wide was such that they decided to create the B.audio marque in 2016. In the past seven years, numerous accolades in Europe, Asia, and Australia have been earned, including multiple product of the year awards.
