There are five line inputs (RCA) on the rear, while the front has a TRS/XLR combo socket for microphone or line signals and a 3.5 mm TRS aux input. The integrated USB interface supports storage media up to 128 GB (FAT16/FAT32/exFAT) and reads modern formats such as FLAC, APE and ALAC - also ideal for audiophile requirements.

Wireless connectivity is provided via Wi-Fi or LAN - including support for Spotify, Tidal, TuneIn, Amazon Music and more via the 4stream app. Alternatively, the device can also be used as a hotspot to connect devices directly. Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD ensures wireless audio quality at a high level with a range of up to 15 meters.

Thanks to the sophisticated protection mechanisms such as clip limitation, overheating, overvoltage and short-circuit protection as well as soft start technology, operation is safe and reliable at all times.
