FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A Complete Modern Audiolab Hi-Fi System

The Audiolab 7000A and 7000N Play combination brings together powerful stereo amplification and versatile high-resolution music streaming in a beautifully matched two-component system.

Designed as part of Audiolab’s acclaimed 7000 Series, the two components share the same compact dimensions, aluminium finish and vibrant 2.8-inch IPS display. When positioned together, they create an elegant and visually unified hi-fi system suitable for both dedicated listening rooms and premium living spaces.

The 7000A provides the power, control and extensive source connectivity, while the 7000N Play adds high-resolution streaming, internet radio, multi-room audio and access to popular online music services.

Together, they provide a complete foundation for a serious stereo system.

Powerful Class AB Amplification

At the heart of the system is the Audiolab 7000A integrated amplifier.

Its discrete Class AB power amplifier delivers 70 watts per channel into 8-ohm speakers and 110 watts per channel into 4-ohm speakers. A maximum current delivery of 11 amps allows the amplifier to maintain control when driving demanding loudspeakers.

The amplifier’s output stage uses Audiolab’s Complementary Feedback topology, designed to provide excellent linearity, thermal stability and consistent performance.

A substantial 250VA toroidal transformer and 60,000uF total reservoir capacity help the 7000A deliver strong dynamics, controlled bass and a clean, detailed presentation across a wide variety of loudspeakers.

High-Resolution Network Streaming

The Audiolab 7000N Play adds convenient access to an extensive range of digital music sources.

Using DTS Play-Fi, music can be streamed from smartphones, tablets, computers, NAS drives and compatible network servers. The system supports playback at resolutions of up to 24-bit/192kHz.

Popular supported services include:

• Spotify
• TIDAL
• Amazon Music
• Qobuz
• Deezer
• Internet radio
• Podcasts
• Locally stored network music
• Compatible DLNA music servers

Spotify Connect allows playback to be controlled directly from the Spotify application, while Apple AirPlay 2 provides convenient streaming from compatible iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV devices.

DTS Play-Fi Multi-Room Audio

The 7000N Play can form part of a compatible DTS Play-Fi multi-room audio system.

Music can be played on the Audiolab system alone or grouped with other compatible Play-Fi products throughout the home. Different rooms can play different content, or multiple zones can be synchronised for whole-home listening.

The Play-Fi application is available for Android, iOS, Kindle Fire and Windows devices.

Premium ESS Sabre DAC Technology

Both components incorporate Audiolab’s implementation of the ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M digital-to-analogue converter.

The 7000N Play can provide either an analogue RCA output directly to the amplifier or a digital optical or coaxial output. This gives the user flexibility to select which component performs the final digital-to-analogue conversion.

The DAC architecture is designed to provide low noise, wide dynamic range and accurate timing, helping preserve detail and musical clarity from high-resolution digital sources.

HDMI ARC for Television Sound

The Audiolab 7000A includes an HDMI ARC connection, allowing compatible televisions to send audio directly to the amplifier.

This makes the combination suitable for improving television, movie and streaming-service sound without requiring a full AV receiver.

Volume and control behaviour will depend on the connected television and its HDMI-CEC implementation.

Built-In Moving-Magnet Phono Stage

Vinyl listeners can connect a compatible moving-magnet turntable cartridge directly to the 7000A.

The dedicated low-noise MM phono stage incorporates accurate RIAA equalisation and removes the need for a separate external phono preamplifier in most conventional turntable systems.

Extensive Digital Connectivity

The 7000A provides a wide selection of digital inputs for televisions, CD transports, computers, media players and other digital sources.

Connections include:

• Two coaxial digital inputs
• Two optical digital inputs
• HDMI ARC
• USB-B computer audio input
• Bluetooth 5.0
• aptX Bluetooth
• aptX Low Latency Bluetooth

When connected to a Windows or macOS computer through USB-B, the 7000A supports PCM audio up to 768kHz and DSD playback up to DSD512.

Analogue Source Connectivity

The 7000A also accommodates conventional analogue hi-fi equipment.

Available analogue connections include:

• Three line-level analogue inputs
• One moving-magnet phono input
• One power-amplifier input
• One pre-amplifier output

This allows the system to accommodate CD players, tuners, turntables, external DACs and other analogue source components.

Flexible Operating Modes

The Audiolab 7000A can operate in several system configurations:

Integrated Mode

The 7000A functions as a conventional integrated amplifier, using its internal pre-amplifier and power-amplifier sections.

Pre-Power Mode

The internal pre-amplifier and power-amplifier sections remain active while providing greater system configuration flexibility.

Pre-Amplifier Mode

The 7000A can be used as a dedicated pre-amplifier with an external power amplifier.

This flexibility allows the system to grow as the owner’s equipment and performance requirements evolve.

Dedicated Headphone Amplifier

A dedicated current-feedback headphone amplifier is built into the 7000A.

Designed for headphones with an impedance of approximately 20 to 600 ohms, the headphone output offers a private listening solution without requiring a separate headphone amplifier.

Matching Full-Colour Displays

Both the 7000A and 7000N Play feature matching 2.8-inch full-view IPS displays.

Depending on the selected configuration, the displays can show:

• Input source
• Volume level
• Streaming service
• Track information
• Audio format
• System settings
• Album and folder information
• Analogue-style VU meters
• Digital VU meters

The matching displays give the combination a sophisticated, unified appearance.

Seamless System Control

The 7000N Play supports automatic equipment activation using Audiolab’s 12V trigger and control link connections.

When correctly connected and configured, switching on the streamer can automatically activate the 7000A, creating a more convenient everyday listening experience.

Designed for Music, Television and Vinyl

The Audiolab 7000A and 7000N Play combination is suitable for listeners who want one high-quality stereo system to handle:

• Network music streaming
• Spotify and other online services
• Apple AirPlay 2
• Internet radio
• Television audio
• Turntable playback
• Bluetooth audio
• Computer audio
