Features

The BAT VK-80i is a fully balanced, all-triode integrated stereo amplifier rated at 55 watts per channel. Four high-current 6C33C-B output valves are partnered by four 6SN7 small-signal valves. Intelligent automatic biasing compensates for valve ageing and changing mains voltage, while BAT's fuse-less electronic protection system helps make day-to-day operation straightforward. One balanced XLR input and three stereo RCA inputs accommodate a complete analogue hi-fi system.
