Our HiFi amplifiers feature many input options for audio playback. This includes 3.5mm jack, RCA, USB/SD card and Bluetooth. Whether you are connecting a record player, CD player, smartphone or laptop to the amplifier for music, there will be an input available to cater for your devices, and in most cases you will have multiple input options for one device such as your phone, for example.
Although HiFi amplifiers are generally used with HiFi speakers, they are also commonly used with installed speakers like wall-mounted and in-ceiling designs. We offer HiFi amplifiers that can be installed in a wall, which provide a modern and sleek design. These are great to pair with moisture-resistant ceiling speakers in a bathroom, as you can have the amplifier mounted just outside and wired to the lighting circuits to enjoy music in the shower.
Certain stereo amplifiers in this category have multiple RCA line inputs on the rear. This means that you can connect multiple devices to the amplifier at a time, such as a CD player, TV, DVD player or laptop. You can't have all of these devices playing at the same time, but with an amplifier with the mentioned multiple inputs, there will be an input switch on the front of the amp which means you can seamlessly change audio sources between all your connected devices whenever you please.
