AudioControl’s Bijou 2100 is a high-performance stereo integrated amplifier designed for local A/V setups. It uses energy-efficient GaN semiconductor technology to deliver 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms (200 watts into 4 ohms), ensuring exceptional audio fidelity. The Bijou 2100 features HDMI eARC for immersive video sound, TOSLINK/Coaxial digital inputs, analog RCA inputs, and a subwoofer output. A 4-pin Euroblock connector provides easy loudspeaker connectivity.

With a 384 kHz/32-bit DAC, the Bijou 2100 delivers pristine sound quality, boasting a 106 dB signal-to-noise ratio and ultra-low distortion (0.0025% THD+N). It's ideal for a three-source system, such as a video display, turntable, and streaming player, paired with loudspeakers and a powered subwoofer for dynamic music or video playback.

Its compact size makes it perfect for discreet installation behind large TVs or micro-LED walls, enhancing audio in spaces with limited sound quality. The Bijou 2100 is customizable via an intuitive web-based GUI and integrates easily with third-party control systems. It offers the perfect balance of premium audio performance, flexible connectivity, and seamless automation compatibility.

FEATURES:

• Next-generation GaN Semiconductor Amplification Technology: The Bijou 2100 Class-D GaN amplification runs cool to the touch, enabling installation options that otherwise limit traditional amplifier designs. GaN-based amplifier topologies achieve power conversion efficiencies in the 95%-99% range through higher frequency fast switching speeds and lower on-resistance, which reduces conduction loss and lowers thermal temperatures, allowing for higher output power.
• Compact Size: GaN implementation requires less circuit board real estate and no ancillary device components to govern thermal convection, resulting in cool-running smaller chassis dimensions with more placement options.   
• HDMI eARC Input: Video soundtracks from connected devices or internal streaming services feature immersive audio codecs like Dolby Atmos or DTS. Before HDMI 2.1b, playback of these dynamic audio formats was often riddled with discerning lip sync issues as the display was last to receive the signal. eARC simplifies this process with a single HDMI cable. Automatic lip sync is mandatory for all eARC-equipped devices. It uses a dedicated audio channel via the HDMI cable for discovery, control functions, and precise audio and video alignment. 
• Web Configurable and IP-, IR-Controllable: AudioControl provides a programmer-friendly API to integrate the Bijou 2100 into any popular automation ecosystem easily. Setup configuration is intuitive and fast via the web interface. An included remote enables stand-alone IR control.
