  • CI-NAP 108: an 8-channel power amplifier - $2,999 USD | $3,899 CAD

Availability: Q2 2024

CI-UNITI 102 – THE “BRAIN” OF THE CI SERIES

The CI-Uniti 102 is a streamer/amplifier that offers both musical performance and versatility. It is designed to seamlessly integrate into any indoor or outdoor space, providing amplification for CI Focal speakers and enhancing audio from all media sources (TV, Spotify, gaming consoles, etc.). Its integrated DSP provides full system calibration, enabling it to interconnect with the CI-NAP 108 and CI-NAP 101, making it suitable for all situations. The new Focal & Naim Manager software, and Speaker Profiles, compatible with CI Focal speakers, enable you to customize the DSP fully for an optimal installation, whether in a commercial environment, at home or outdoors.

The CI-Uniti 102 is controlled by the end user via the Focal & Naim application and home automation platforms such as Crestron, Control4, RTI, Savant, and Elan.

For the integrator, the Focal & Naim Manager software allows complete configuration of each of the CI-Uniti 102’s outputs, with:

  • Speaker Profiles for each loudspeaker in the CI Focal catalogue.
  • EQs for on-the-spot calibration.
  • Crossovers for use with subwoofers.
  • A limiter to control maximum listening levels.
  • Delays for temporal alignment.
  • Configuration settings for use on a Dante network.
  • Selection of available sources for the end user.
  • Wired and wireless streaming capabilities (TIDAL, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Spotify, UPnP™, Internet Radio, Airplay 2, ChromeCast, Dante).
  • Versatile connectivity (HDMI, Bluetooth®, S/PDIF, analogue).
  • An ultra-silent, efficient, compact integrated power amplifier producing 150W at 8 ohms.
  • Two independent stereo RCA outputs that can be used for subwoofers or sub-zones.
  • Multiroom capability for up to 32 rooms.
  • “Trigger” outputs providing remote standby for the CI-NAP 108 and CI-NAP 101.

CI-NAP 108 – THE EXCELLENCE SOLUTION

The CI-NAP 108 is a rack-mountable 8-channel power amplifier. When paired with the CI-Uniti 102, it makes it possible to connect multiple speakers in different rooms or amplify eight separate audio streams, with its local inputs for each amplified channel. The CI-NAP 108 is also an ideal solution for pairing with audio-video processors to deliver a combination of sound quality and power.

KEY FEATURES OF THE CI-NAP 108:

  • 10 RCA inputs, including 8 local inputs and 2 L/R bus inputs.
  • 10 RCA outputs for serial connection with other amplifiers, such as the CI-101.
  • A silent, efficient, compact integrated power amplifier.
  • Two Euroblock outputs per channel for easy parallel connections between speakers.
  • Independent level control.
  • Input signal detection with automatic standby after 20 minutes.
  • A universal 90V to 240V power supply

 CI-NAP 101 – THE MONO AMPLIFIER WITH 70/100V LINE COMPATIBILITY

The CI-NAP 101 is a rack-mountable mono power amplifier capable of operating in low or high-impedance mode. Along with the CI-Uniti 102, it is specifically intended for use with subwoofers or speakers on a 70/100V line while maintaining exceptional audio quality. With the ability to operate at an output load of 2ohms, it is the perfect solution for amplifying 1000 IWLCR Utopia speakers, accompanied by two 1000 IWSUB Utopia subwoofers from Focal. Additionally, it can be paired with an audio-video processor to combine sound quality and power.

KEY FEATURES OF THE CI-NAP 101:

  • Stereo RCA inputs and stereo RCA outputs for serial connection.
  • An ultra-silent, efficient, compact power amplifier capable of driving the most demanding loudspeakers.
  • A perfect product for powering a Focal 1000 Series system with 1x1000 IWLCR Utopia and 2x1000 IWSUB Utopia.
  • Two Euroblock outputs for easy parallel connections between speakers
  • Amplification for low-impedance loudspeakers and 70V/100V line loudspeakers with selectable high-pass crossover.
  • Level control.
  • Input signal detection with automatic standby after 20 minutes.
  • A universal 90V to 240V power supply.
