IXYCORE - High-End Full GaN Mono Power Amplifier

From Calm to Storm

Absolute Sonic Immersion

From the very first notes, the IXYCORE amplifier establishes a holographic soundstage that is both vast and precise. Every layer stands out with striking relief, while the spectral balance surprises with its coherence. The loudspeaker seems liberated from all constraints, ready to deliver its full dynamic potential.

Transparency as a Signature

Micro-details and Naturalness

IXYCORE blends into the listening room and steps aside for the music. Every detail, from the rustle of a bow to the imperceptible breath of the performer, emerges from an abyssal silence. Every breath, every vibration comes to life in a crystalline soundspace.

Timbres are delivered with absolute fidelity and a realism that moves the listener every single time. Listening is no longer a reproduction, but an exploration into the heart of the sonic fabric.

Total control and Ixycore architecture

Visceral Impact. Blazing Speed

Total Speaker Control

To tame electrical current with absolute accuracy, IXYCORE relies on a proprietary "Full GaN" architecture driven by a high-precision controller. Where the industry contents itself with off-the-shelf integrated solutions, we have built every single stage of the amplifier to exploit the lightning-fast velocity of Gallium Nitride.

Clocked on a variable frequency range reaching up to 1.2 MHz, our proprietary modulator adapts its speed in real-time to the complexity of the musical message. Coupled with an advanced feedback loop that encompasses the output filter and the load, IXYCORE frees itself from speaker impedance variations. Free of coloration or phase distortion, the sense of drive and stability never wavers, even with demanding drivers or extreme 2-ohm loads.

Power supply and Pure Energy Ixycore

Nothing is Lost, Everything is Revealed

Pure Energy

Utilizing GaN within the IXYCORE switching power supply is an engineering choice that prioritizes voltage stability and spectral purity over simple miniaturization. It is the "heavy foundation" upon which our amplifier's agility rests.

Nourished by an inexhaustible and silent energy source, our power stage operates on voltage rails of absolute purity, allowing every piece of micro-spatial information—such as the acoustics of the recording venue or the placement of instruments—to be fully heard.

Components and advanced protection system Ixycore

Invisible Shield

Advanced Protection

The IXYCORE protection circuit acts as a silent sentinel. It monitors the vital signs of the electronics in real-time and utilizes a high-performance solid-state switch. Positionned in parallel rather than in series, it never interferes with the signal under normal conditions. In the event of an anomaly, it instantly shunts the entirety of the current, serving as an ultra-fast shield for your transducers.

French craftsmanship of the Ixycore amplifier

High-Tech Haute Couture

French Excellence

As a French house of high technology, IXYCORE crafts exceptional pieces designed to endure and inspire emotion. Each mono block is machined from a solid billet of aluminum, assembled by hand, and rigorously tested in laboratory conditions.

From the connectors to the critical components, every element is selected to maintain perfect audio signal integrity. Everything is custom-tailored in a spirit of artisanal perfection.

The Gemincore and Ixycore Heritage

Twenty Years of Avant-Garde

The Gemincore Heritage

The DNA of IXYCORE takes root in a technological revolution praised as early as 2001 in an article by the renowned French magazine Science & Vie. In their quest for the perfect amplifier, our engineers Nicola Lomuto and René Lambruschi foresaw that mastering high-frequency switching would hold the key to excellence.

Lauded in 2005 at the 27th AES (Audio Engineering Society) conference, our patented topology redefined Class D standards and led to the commercial production of GEMINCORE amplifiers.

Today, IXYCORE sublimates this heritage. By mastering GaN transistors and their ecosystem, we have created a "living" system that adapts its operation in real-time to the music and the loudspeakers, maintaining a fundamentally analog approach to the process.
