Outstanding Performance and Rock-Solid Reliability

These Incredible Compact Cube Mono Amplifiers Sound Amazing, Put Out Little or No Heat and Can Drive Most Any Load!

The D-100 Monoblocks from Channel Islands Audio are a superb marriage of performance, sound quality, safety, and reliability. With their taught, powerful bottom end, smooth, textured midrange and sweet extended highs, these amplifiers produce a glorious sound matched only by the most expensive amplifiers. High current capability and low output impedance allows each D-100 to drive difficult loads with excellent control, producing 100 Watt-Per-Channel into 8 ohms, 180 Watts into 4 ohms. These compact amplifiers are encased in heavy gauge steel chassis with 3/16' brushed and anodized aluminum front and rear panels and feature high quality gold plated input jack and speaker binding posts.

“Channel Island’s nifty little D-100 amplifier is extremely well built-the fit and finish are superb. I kept having to remind myself that a pair of them costs less than $2000! A lot less! I really had to keep pinching myself as I auditioned them. In performance, the D-100s might be giants; the fact that they’re so small is just icing on the cake. I think I’ll keep a pair around as a reminder of just how good affordable high-end can be. You might want to do the same!”
– Wes Phillips, Stereophile, Recommended Amplifier

The  D100 Monoblock represents the latest in amplifier technology and sets a new standard in cost versus performance. Many manufacturers have introduced smaller amp designs but all have had their shortcomings, whether it be sound quality, safety, or reliability. Due to new technology, CIA is now able to offer a product which realizes the full potential of these compact amplifiers.

The D100's sound quality is on par with the best amplifiers in the world. From a solid and mighty bottom end, through smooth and textured midrange, to sweet extended highs with a great sense of air and space, these amplifiers produce sound matched only by the most expensive. After approximately 200 hours of circuit break-in, you will hear the unbeatable sound quality these amps possess.

Power supply circuitry utilizes a large custom toroidial transformer in conjunction with large capacitor banks to produce the power to drive the highly efficient amplifier section. High current capability and low output impedance allow the D100 to drive difficult loads with excellent control, producing 100 watts into 8 ohms and 175 watts into 4 ohms. The mute function puts the amplifier in a standby mode, allowing critical circuitry to be kept powered and eliminate any warmup period. Being over 90% efficient means the amplifier runs cool and extends the life of all internal components, and built-in safety features protect it from shorted speaker cables and components. Built to last a lifetime, this compact amplifier is housed in a heavy gauge steel chassis with 3/16' brushed and anodized aluminum front and rear panels, secured by stainless steel hardware, with highest quality gold plated input jack and speaker binding posts.
