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.
