Audiophile sound you expect from Audison

The AF C8.14 bit delivers eight high-fidelity amplified channels — 65W x 8 at 4Ω and 100W x 8 at 2Ω — using the latest generation Audison D-Class technology. Higher switching frequencies, steeper filtering and higher-tolerance components push Class D performance well beyond expectation, all in a compact package.

The native DSP operates at 24 bit/96 kHz, extending the audio band to 40 kHz and earning Hi-Res certification. Bridging channel pairs delivers 200W x 4 at 4Ω for flexible, powerful performance. Support for the Audison B-CON's Absolute Volume function maintains maximum bit depth even with wireless connections.

*Output Continuous Power (RMS) @ 14.4 VDC, 1% THD, all channels driven.

Next-generation tuning capabilities for maximum control

Audison's bit Drive PC software analyses, routes and corrects the signal with a single powerful tool. The redesigned graphical interface simplifies every control and function, integrating acoustic measurement for efficient tuning.

The Acoustic RTA is built into the equaliser graph and works with your USB microphone or sound card. The Final EQ function applies final equalisation without affecting left/right frequency relationships. The six processed pre-amp outputs sit alongside the eight amplified channels, allowing the Forza's DSP to manage a larger system with ease.

All in one state-of-the-art platform

The AF C8.14 bit includes a full set of high-quality cables, supplied with a protective printed strip fitted upstream of the Molex connectors to improve torsion resistance:

  • Pre-In: 8 stereo RCA interconnects for aftermarket sources with pre-out outputs
  • Speaker-In: 8 pairs of labelled cables for OEM sources with high-level outputs
  • Speaker-Out: 8 labelled cables to connect the amplifier to speakers
  • DSP-Out: 6 labelled cables to connect the amplifier to companion amplifiers
  • Forza Control cable: 2 wires for remote power-on and remote out signal, plus 2 wires for functions programmable in bit Drive software

Advanced OEM integration capabilities

Eight analogue inputs plus an optical Toslink digital input provide full connectivity with even the most complex OEM systems. The optional F4IN expansion card adds four additional analogue input channels; the optional F2O expansion card adds a coaxial SPDIF or second Toslink SPDIF input.

Audison's de-EQ process is joined by de-Time and de-Phase capabilities, enabling sound restoration across nearly every OEM system. Electrical signal analysis ensures correct integration for each input and output channel. Built-in universal speaker simulation technology (USS) guarantees compatibility with any OEM source, without muting or instability.

About the Audison AF C8.14 bit

From our tech experts at CEN

An 8-channel amplifier from Audison’s Forza range, with bit processing built in giving 14 processed channels, rated at 800w RMS.

Who it suits

Drivers building a fully processed system without room for a separate DSP and amplifier, and anyone keeping a factory head unit, since the processor can take that signal and correct it. Forza combines amplification and bit processing in one chassis.

Our tech experts advise

Processing is worth only what the tuning puts into it: measurements in the car, delays set for the driving seat, crossovers chosen for your drivers. That is the work, and we do it in the vehicle. It also needs a fused feed from the battery on the correct gauge. Installation and tuning are priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right amplifier for my speakers or subwoofer?

A: Match the amplifier's RMS output per channel to the RMS handling of your speakers or subwoofer at the same impedance. The Specification tab lists the power figures. If in doubt, contact CEN with your setup and we will recommend a match.

Q: What wiring do I need to install this amplifier?

A: You will need an amplifier wiring kit sized to the amplifier's power draw, typically including power and earth cable, a fuse, RCA leads and a remote wire. CEN stocks complete wiring kits, and the amplifier's fuse rating is the guide to the cable gauge required.

Q: What class of amplifier is this and does it matter?

A: Class D amplifiers are compact and efficient, ideal for subwoofers and modern installs. Class AB designs are traditionally favoured for outright sound quality on mid and high frequencies. The class is listed in the Specification tab where provided.

Q: Will an amplifier work with my factory head unit?

A: Yes, in most cases. If your head unit has no RCA outputs you will need a line output converter to feed the amplifier a clean signal. CEN stocks line output converters and can advise the right one for your vehicle.

Q: Can CEN install this amplifier?

A: Yes. CEN offers professional amplifier installation from our Nottingham premises, including secure mounting, wiring and setup. Contact us to book.

Q: How many channels does the Audison AF C8.14 bit have?

A: It has 8 amplified channels and a 14-channel DSP, made up of the 8 amplified outputs plus 6 processed pre-outs (5V RMS) for adding companion amplifiers. Each pair of amplified channels can be bridged, giving 4 x 200 W RMS at 4 ohms.

Q: Will the AF C8.14 bit work with a factory sound system?

A: Yes. It has 8 high/low-level inputs plus an optical Toslink input, de-EQ, de-Time and de-Phase processing, electrical signal analysis and universal speaker simulation (USS) for compatibility with OEM sources without muting or instability.

Q: Can I add more inputs to the AF C8.14 bit?

A: Yes. The extension card slot accepts the optional F4IN card for four additional analogue inputs, or the optional F2O card for a coaxial SPDIF or second Toslink input.

Q: What is in the box with the Audison AF C8.14 bit?

A: The amplifier, Pre In cable, Speaker In cable, Speaker Out cable, DSP Out cable, AF bit control cable, USB cable and install kit.
