Intra
The Intra results from the uncompromising implementation of TIDAL’s most basic design philosophy: pure amplification of the musical signal without adding any sonic colouration. Intra is the successor to the award winning and worldwide praised TIDAL Impulse. Aesthetically it keeps the same design principles and sits perfectly alongside the TIDAL Prisma and Camira for a complete system synergy.
When first viewed the Intra might be mistaken for a conventional stereo power amplifier – It’s far more than that, containing two physically divided stereo modules inside, all designed around a dual mono topology which uses one channel per module per speaker. Dedicated separate internal power supplies are also implemented, however the Intra is very clever and these can be made to work as one when switched into BTL mode. This allows for passive or active bi-amping or taken even further, for use in a high end multi channel system.
