The TC-820 is a compact and stylish 15 watt stereo audiophile-grade integrated amplifier which uses Tripath's highly respected TA-2024 output chip and
digital power processing technology. This design offers both the audio fidelity of a Class AB design and the power efficiency of a Class D amplifier. Class T operation produces very
little heat, keeping the need for heavy heat-sinking to a minimum while conserving energy and permitting very efficient battery operation, if desired.
This device is THE solution, when
- larger equipment is ill-suited,
- 12VDC operability is needed.
A lantern, car or motorcycle battery can be used in place of the included AC power supply, making the TC-820 truly portable.
Four rear panel RCA line inputs and one front 3.5mm stereo mini jack (for iPod or MP3) are provided, along with outputs for speakers (4 - 16 ohms) or headphones
(both 1/8" and 1/4" phone plugs are accommodated). To compensate the wide range of output levels produced by various products (MP3, MD, walkmans etc),
the TC-820 includes a rear panel level control to permit balancing the front panel input gain against the rear inputs.
The front panel input jack is self-selecting; plugging an iPod or other source into it mutes whichever rear panel input is currently playing.
