Audison Thesis HV venti - 2-Channel Power Amplifier in DualâMono with High Current Reserve
The Audison Thesis HV venti is a 2âchannel amplifier designed for uncompromising signal purity and performance. Its dualâmono architecture with four SynchroâPWM power supplies, a MOSFETâ/BJTâhybrid output stage with IGBT technology, and a Class A preamplifier form the basis for controlled drive and high dynamics â even with low-impedance loads. You get a power amplifier that consistently uses discrete components and offers symmetrical signal handling.
Technical Highlights
- DualâMono Design: Four SynchroâPWM power supplies for fast transient response and maximum channel separation.
- MOSFETâBJTâHybrid: Discrete IGBT topology with two HitachiâDMOS stages as drivers for complementary Sanken PowerâBJTs (30 A peak, 200 W power dissipation each).
- ClassâA Preamplifier and Drivers: Symmetrical design up to the driver outputs, dedicated 90âV power supply per channel, separate 150âV power supply, thermally stabilized.
- Input Stages: Symmetrical input with JFETâdifferential (first stage) and complementary BJTâdifferential (second stage); Cascodeâvoltage amplifier with buffer.
- Signal routing via relays, completely discrete components, separate power supply board for interference reduction.
- "Dual Power" for switching between HiâCurrent and HiâPower; "Bias Selector" for adjusting the ClassâA proportion.
- Integrated crossover module and 5âmm aluminum housing with side cooling channels.

Installation & Compatibility
The Thesis HV venti operates as a 2âchannel power amplifier or bridged as a mono amplifier into 4 Ω. Thanks to highâ and lowâlevel inputs, it can be integrated into both factory and aftermarket systems. The PreâOuts simplify the setup of larger systems. With 100âA fusing and a 11â16 V vehicle electrical system range, the power supply is clearly defined. The external/supplied crossover module provides fixed crossover frequencies (45/55/65/80 Hz) â stereo with 12 dB/Oct., mono with 24 dB/Oct. "Dual Power" allows you to adjust the operation to current or power requirements, while the "Bias Selector" controls the ClassâA proportion for your setup. The compact dimensions of 510 Ă 85 Ă 280 mm facilitate placement in the vehicle.
