Audia Flight FLS1 & FLS8 Pre/Power Amplifiers Bundle (Ex-Demo)

Ex-Demo Units from our West Sussex Branch in Mint Condition. Simply moving along for stock rotation. 

Combine uncompromising Italian craftsmanship with state-of-the-art amplification performance in the Audia Flight FLS1 & FLS8 Bundle System. Engineered to bridge the gap between high-end performance and musical emotion, this pre/power amplifier combination delivers exceptional speed, massive dynamic headroom, and pinpoint speaker control.

Drawing heavily from Audia Flight’s flagship Strumento Series, the FLS1 and FLS8 pair a dual-mono, ultra-wideband preamplifier stage with a formidable high-current power amplifier—creating a reference-grade hub capable of driving even the most demanding loudspeaker setups with effortless composure.

Key Highlights

• Strumento DNA & Craftsmanship: Custom CNC-machined, hand-polished aluminum chassis built with shot-peening, anodization, and extra-thick shielding to isolate sensitive audio circuits.

• True Dual-Mono Design: Separate PCB layouts per channel maintain optimal channel separation, broad soundstaging, and signal integrity.

• Class A Current Feedback Stage: Enclosed in aluminum boxes and encapsulated in epoxy resin for thermal stability and zero interference.

• High-Current Power Output: Delivers 400W RMS into 8 Ohms, scaling to 800W RMS into 4 Ohms and 1,500W into 2 Ohms.

• Integrated Headphone Amplifier: Built-in high-current headphone output delivering an impressive 12W RMS at 8 Ohms to effortlessly drive planar and high-impedance headphones.

• Modular Expandability: Features two rear expansion bays on the FLS1 for plug-and-play MM/MC phono cards, high-resolution DAC modules, or additional RCA inputs.

Detailed Component Breakdown

Audia Flight FLS1 Preamplifier

The FLS1 is a fully balanced reference preamplifier designed for speed, low noise, and transparency. Powered by three shielded toroidal transformers, it ensures low-noise power distribution across all stages.

The volume attenuation operates with constant impedance and high precision (0.5 dB resolution across a -90 dB to +10 dB range). Inputs are fully customizable—allowing users to rename, adjust gain ($\pm$6 dB), or bypass volume control for home theater pass-through.

• Ultra-Wide Bandwidth: Frequency response stretching from 0.3 Hz to 500 kHz for transient accuracy.

• Flexible I/O: 2 x Balanced (XLR) and 3 x Unbalanced (RCA) inputs; 1 x XLR, 1 x RCA, and 1 x Fixed REC RCA outputs.

• OLED Interface: High-contrast blue OLED display paired with an anodized aluminum remote control.

Audia Flight FLS8 Power Amplifier

The FLS8 power amplifier is designed around 32 high-grade output power devices, an isolated Class A current feedback gain stage, and a total of 12 independent power supplies.

At its core sits a massive 2000VA toroidal audio transformer enclosed in dual ferromagnetic shields and encapsulated in epoxy resin. Dedicated logic transformers and microprocessor-driven current sensors remove the need for fuses in the main audio signal path, eliminating a common bottleneck in high-end power amplifiers.

• Extensive Power Supply: 128,000 µF capacitor bank dedicated to the main power supply for immediate dynamic response.

• High Damping & Control: Damping factor greater than 1000 (@ 8 Ohms) ensures full bass control across complex speaker loads.

• Balanced Architecture: Fully balanced input and amplification circuitry for low noise floor and low harmonic distortion.
