Audia Flight FLS 9 Integrated Amplifier
The FLS Line’s Sweet Spot Integrated Amplifier
The FLS 9 is Audia Flight’s latest creation in hi-end integrated amplifiers and is the best choice for a mid priced hi-end integrated amplifier.
It shares with FLS 1 model same fully balanced preamplifier stage boards. Power channels use 12 highly selected power devices, 8 power supply circuits with extra low impedance and very low noise, high quality capacitors (120.000 uF), special printed boards with extra thick copper layer, 1000 W shielded audio toroidal transformer. The 150 Wrms (8 ohm) output power follows the acclaimed Audia tradition of speed, power, driving capability and control ability. The FLS 9 is also suitable for less efficient, impedance critical (down to 2 ohm) loudspeaker systems. The aluminum chassis, with engraved “Audia Flight” logo on top cover, and solid aluminum milled remote control are brushed and anodized. It possible to install two optional cards, plug and play, very easy to install in separate slots externally accessible.
The elegant chassis is full brushed aluminum with engraved logo on top cover, the large display is OLED blue. Four special composite pads with NBR rubber spheres ensure the best vibration control. An aluminum brushed and anodized remote control is also supplied as standard.

Dimensions and weight 450x110x430mm (W x H x D), 16,5 kg
Shipping dimensions and weight 550x250x580mm (W x H x D), 18,5kg
INPUTS and OUTPUTS:
4 unbalanced inputs
1 balanced input
1 monitor input
1 analog input can be assigned to bypass the preamp (as “direct”)
1 optional USB digital input
1 unbalanced preamp output
1 unbalanced record output
1 output for headphones
OPTIONAL BOARDS (can be retrofitted):
phono MC/MM (replaces analog Input 1); USB 24bit 192KHz DAC (becomes Input 6)Notes:
1) If one of inputs is used as "direct mode", be sure that source output impedance is less than 600 Ohm in order to prevent noise issues.
2) The USB input has been insulated by an ADuM (from Analog Devices) to prevent any noise from the computer.
When the USB is used together with a player application such as FooBar or WinAmp, the user can transfer stream music files to internal converter at 192kHz/24bits maximum frequency/resolution while avoiding undesired PC or MAC audio mixer data processing during the data transfer from hard disk to interface. -
Inside the Flight Three S’s sophisticated electronic interior are a series of critical features that make this integrated amplifier perform well above other integrated amplifiers within its category. An high performance ALPS Blue potentiometer provides an accurate volume control at all settings.
Eight power supplies are in charge of all amplification stages up to the driver transistor stage, with 13.200uF total capacitance available for
the stabilized power supplies until the driver transistor section. Four high-current power supplies (72.000µF) are then dedicated solely to the output driver stages.If that’s not enough, all inputs feature sealed relays in an inert atmosphere and gold terminations! And, as following our philosophy for best sonic performance, the logic control section features its own toroidal transformer and is connect to the analog section via photo-couplers only.
