Small Amplifiers Often Have Compromises

Many small amplifiers come with compromises. The sound gets thin at higher volumes. Or bass tends to disappear. Some simply don’t have enough power for real speakers. AudioControl Bijou 600 Amplifier is different because it has plenty of power and control to run your speakers without compromise.

Because of that, it works well in actual rooms. It’s compact enough to fit into spaces where big amplifiers are hard to fit discreetly, but powerful enough that your speakers sound full and relaxed. Dialogue is clear during movies, music has smooth detail, and bass is tight and strong. When designing multi-room audio systems or small home theaters in our home theater design tool, we love amplifiers like this because they allow you to optimize your system without running into space constraints.

Engineered for Home Listening

Some amplifiers only sound great during short demonstration sessions. The AudioControl Bijou 600 Amplifier sounds better during longer listening sessions. AudioControl specifically designed it to perform well with music-heavy systems and home theater systems where you leave the equipment on all day.

The built-in DAC helps reduce digital music sounding harsh and compressed. And its built-in bass management extends low-end performance in smaller speakers without dominating the room. AccuBASS also adds intelligible bass at lower listening levels, where many amplifiers start to lose bass. This is important, because most people listen at these “everyday” volume levels far more than they blast their audio at show-stopping levels.

System Design Philosophy

Having powerful yet small amplifiers is one part of Dreamedia+’s approach to help systems sound good in real rooms. We want equipment that doesn’t force you to design your room around it. Or have huge wires and scary-looking power supplies taking over entertainment cabinets.

The Bijou 600 shares our design philosophy because it has ample power in a small chassis. You can use it for everything from powering a dedicated stereo system to adding smooth music capability to a secondary media room or as part of your whole home audio system. Regardless of the room or application, the Bijou 600 gives you great performance without dominating your living space.
