9000A

Audiolab has enjoyed an enviable reputation for amplifier excellence ever since the original 8000A arrived in 1982, establishing itself as the classic step-up model from the ‘budget’ integrated hi-fi amps of the time. This reputation has remained constant through successive product generations, right up to the 6000A and 8300A, both of which have delighted music lovers at their respective price points in recent years. 

As we approach the end of 2022 – 40 years after the launch of the 8000A – it’s time to reveal the next generation of Audiolab amplification. The 9000A is the first component in Audiolab’s new flagship range, the 9000 Series. It is also the best-integrated amplifier Audiolab has ever made. 

Functionally, the 9000A builds upon the highly successful 6000A, which launched in 2018 and remains one of Britain’s best-selling integrated amps. The 6000A recognised that while an amplifier is still the beating heart of any high-performance audio system, just as it has been for decades, a truly versatile integrated amp now needs to cover many bases – digital and analogue sources, wireless connectivity for portable devices, a phono stage for playing vinyl, and amplification for headphones as well as speakers. 

The 9000A is born from the same ideal but ups the ante in every area – cutting-edge digital audio technology, massively upgraded analogue circuitry, more connectivity and performance that elevates the open, detailed and engaging sound for which the 6000A is famed to an entirely different level. 

9000CDT

Audiolab’s new 9000A integrated amplifier in the ideal ‘hub’ around which to build a high-performance audio system, however you choose to play your music – from digital streaming to vinyl records. For the many people for whom CD remains a crucial part of their musical diet, Audiolab’s new 9000CDT is the 9000A’s perfect CD-playing companion. 

The 9000CDT builds on the reputation of the highly respected 6000CDT, engineered to make the most of any still-treasured CD collection. It incorporates a new, high-end transport mechanism, featuring a high-precision optical system and low-friction loading tray. A read-ahead digital buffer reduces disc-reading failures, enabling the 9000CDT to play damaged discs that may be rejected by other CD players. 

As well as spinning CDs, the 9000CDT features a USB Type A input, enabling playback from USB storage devices. FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 formatted devices are supported, and WAV, WMA , AAC and MP3 files can be played, with file navigation available via the front panel controls and remote handset. 

The 9000CDT’s aluminium casework shares the same crisp design and impeccable finish quality as the 9000A, with a matching 4.2in colour display and rotary function selector. The display shows track information from CDs and USB-connected storage devices, and also provides access to functions such auto-standby settings, language selection, 12V trigger activation for system control, and dimming of the display itself (or the option to switch it off entirely). The presence of this 4.2in screen not only matches the 9000A integrated amp and forthcoming 9000N network audio streamer aesthetically, it also elevates the user experience above that of a typical CD player. 

9000N

The new sound of science.


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.

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.

9000Q & 9000P

The new 9000Q preamplifier and 9000P stereo power amplifier build on the design ethos and functionality of the 9000 series stages, with newly designed circuitry to deliver the most accomplished pre/power system in Audiolab's armoury.

The 9000Q and 9000P are the epitome of affordable high-end audio - build quality to be proud of, versatile functionality without a hint of compromise, and a performance that delivers every detail of the music and brings it to life in captivating style. They deliver remarkable sonic consistency across all manner of digital and analogue sources, always musically engaging yet also refined.
