Using a home amplifier with suitable passive speakers is an important step to take if you want to improve the audio quality when enjoying films, TV or gaming. By upgrading your setup to HiFi speakers with a home amplifier, you will achieve better volume and depth which will prove to be a substantial upgrade in home entertainment compared to speakers built into the TV.

Our home amplifiers have multiple input options, such as line inputs, USB/SD card and Bluetooth. Having these options make each amplifier multi-purposeful and fit to be used for different needs like casual music listening or TV and gaming. Wireless audio technology is something that we are seeing more and more with modern audio systems, so the inclusion of Bluetooth connectivity on these amplifiers makes them adaptable and fit for the majority of modern equipment.

Some of our home amplifiers don't have as many connections on them, as they are to be used with installed speakers like ceiling speakers rather than with a TV system. By having a more simplified amplifier with Bluetooth technology, you can connect your smartphone wirelessly and enjoy music when you please while doing household activities.

How do I choose a good amplifier?

The amplifier that you go for will depend on the speakers that you will be using with it. A highly important factor that you need to look at when choosing an amplifier is the power capability. To do this, you will need to know the power of your speakers and the impedance (Ohm) rating. It is best to go for an amplifier with a slightly higher wattage output than what your speakers require, as this ensures that the speakers will be working to the best of their ability.

Another factor to consider when looking for an amplifier is the style of speaker that you will be using. For example, if you have a pair of stereo HiFi speakers, then a stereo amplifier with volume and EQ control would be the best choice. Similarly, if you are connecting ceiling speakers to an amplifier then a wall-mounted one would be best.

When choosing an amplifier for your speakers, an important thing to look for is the input options available. If you want to connect your phone wirelessly to the amplifier for music then you should look for one with Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity. If you are wanting to plug a microphone into the amplifier then you should look for one with a microphone input. We offer a couple of amps that come with a wired microphone and these are great for karaoke purposes.

Where can I locate a home amplifier?

Locating the amplifier in a spot that is easily accessible and convenient for your use is important. For amplifiers that you will be connecting to your TV setup for entertainment, we offer smaller compact designs that can be easily located in a shelving system next to your TV box or gaming systems.

Several of our home amplifiers are rack-mountable, so you can install them in a racking system among your other equipment. These designs are great for home audio systems where you want everything to look professional and conceal cabling.

Among our home amplifiers are wall-mounted panel amplifiers. These can be installed in a cutout in your wall and the cabling to the speakers can be completely concealed for a discreet look that will blend in with your home aesthetics. These are best to be used with ceiling speakers and feature Bluetooth connectivity so you can pair your phone wirelessly.

What can I connect to a home amplifier?

Our range of home amplifiers features a variety of input options for different devices. These include RCA/Phono, 3.5mm Jack, USB/SD card and Bluetooth. Having these multiple input options makes each amplifier suitable for the majority of equipment, including phones, laptops, mixers, USB sticks, microphones and TVs.

The line input is the most common input that you would use on an amplifier, and these are usually red and white RCA connections but they can be different on some amps. Using the appropriate audio cable you can connect anything to the amplifier that has a line, or audio output on it. This includes phones and laptops with a headphone output as they use the same stereo signal.

Bluetooth connectivity is a feature that many of our home amplifiers have for wireless audio playback. Bluetooth is great if you are using the amplifier for casual listening purposes rather than something like a TV setup, as you can connect your phone or tablet quickly and simply.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of home amplifiers?

There are several different types of power amplifiers that can be used in a home environment. Here are some examples:

HiFi stereo amplifiers - designed for pairs of bookshelf or HiFi tower speakers, generally used for music only.

Karaoke amplifiers - Similar to stereo amplifiers, but with microphone inputs and built-in effects for karaoke performance.

WiFi amplifiers - Otherwise known as smart amplifiers, these are designed to connect to ceiling speakers, bookshelf speakers, or wall speakers, and connect to your home network, enabling app-controlled music playback and internet radio.

Multi room amplifiers - Home amplifiers with several outputs to facilitate connection with multiple speakers. Each output has its own volume control and on/off activation for multi-room configurations.

Home cinema amplifiers - Designed for surround sound applications, generally with five outputs to connect surround speakers. Perfect for gaming, TV, and film viewing.

What is an amplifier used for at home?

Home amplifiers are used to power passive speaker units, where you can then connect a variety of external audio sources to the amplifier, such as CD players, laptops, TVs, and microphones.

Do I need an amplifier for home audio?

You will need an amplifier for home audio if you use passive speakers, otherwise the speakers will not work. If you have active, or powered speakers, then you will not need an amplifier, as the speakers have built-in amplification and can connect directly to mains power.

What is the difference between a stereo amplifier and a surround amplifier?

A stereo amplifier has two outputs in order to connect a pair of passive speakers, resulting in a stereo output with left and right signals separated between the two speakers. A surround amplifier has, generally, five or more powered outputs in order to connect surround sound speakers, which is great for home cinema and gaming.

Do home amplifiers have Bluetooth?

Yes, many home amplifiers have built-in Bluetooth receivers, enabling you to pair your smartphone, tablet, or laptop and stream audio wirelessly from any app or website of your choosing. That being said, not all home amplifiers will feature Bluetooth technology, so it is important to check the features and specifications of each amplifier before making a decision on one.

Which amplifier is best for home?

To decide which home amplifier is best, you will first need to decide what you will be using it for, and what speakers you need to power. For example, if you have a pair of bookshelf speakers, then a stereo amplifier would work best for you. Alternatively, if you want to use the amplifier for karaoke parties, you will need an amp with microphone inputs. Ultimately, your personal requirements will massively factor towards the amplifier that will be best for you.

How many watts amplifier do I need for home?

The wattage rating of a home amplifier is extremely important when choosing one, as it will determine whether or not the amplifier is compatible with your speakers. As a rule of thumb, it is important that the total wattage of your speakers does not exceed the available power of the amplifier, otherwise you will experience problems such as overheating, distortion, and blown speaker drivers.

Does it matter what amplifier you use?

Yes, the home amplifier that you use needs to be suitable for your intended purpose, otherwise you could under/overpower your speakers or cause the amplifier to fail. If you are struggling to choose an amplifier or you have any questions about home amplifiers, please feel free to contact our knowledgeable sales team for free advice.

Can a WiFi amplifier be used with any type of speakers?

WiFi home amplifiers can be used with low-impedance speakers, generally with an in-ceiling or wall-mounted design. That being said, not all ceiling speakers or wall speakers will be compatible with every WiFi amplifier, so it is important to check that the amplifier you are purchasing is compatible with your speakers.

How do I connect an amplifier to my TV?

To connect a home amplifier to your TV, you will first need to check the available outputs on your TV, as well as the available inputs on the amplifier. Once you have seen which input/output connectors you have available, you will need to source a suitable cable to allow connection between your TV and the home amplifier.

Most commonly, TVs would connect to line input or optical terminals on an amplifier - coming from the optical, headphone, or audio output of the TV.
