AUDIOLAB 9000 N

Developed to be the perfect digital streaming companion for the flagship audiolab 9000 series, the new 9000N is the result of over three year’s development and innovation to provide a critically stable, high-resolution wireless (and wired) digital music playback.

Overview

Digital face

Debuting earlier in 2022, the audiolab 9000 series exemplifies audiolab’s reputation for delivering class-leading amplifiers and, more recently, CD playback. Having forayed into entry-level streaming with the wildly successful, multi-award-winning 6000N Play and, more recently, the 7000N Play, the more high-end 9000N has been eagerly anticipated!

The 9000N answers the 9000 series and its natural progression towards a more premium hi-fi solution while answering overwhelming customer demand for a solidly built and impeccably finished streaming component.
