Advanced GaN Amplification Technology
At the heart of the Bijou 2100 lies cutting-edge Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology. This innovation enables the amplifier to achieve power conversion efficiencies between 95% and 99%, resulting in reduced heat generation and the ability to deliver 100 watts RMS into 8 ohms and 200 watts into 4 ohms, with both channels driven. The cool-to-the-touch operation allows for flexible installation options, including placement behind flat-panel displays for a discreet setup.
Seamless HDMI eARC Integration
Equipped with HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) input, the Bijou 2100 ensures uncompressed, high-bandwidth audio transmission from your TV or other compatible devices. This feature supports immersive audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio, providing a cinematic sound experience in the comfort of your home. The eARC functionality simplifies connectivity by reducing cable clutter and ensuring automatic lip-sync correction for perfect audio-video alignment.
Versatile Connectivity for Various Audio Sources
The Bijou 2100 offers a range of input options to accommodate multiple audio sources. It includes analog stereo RCA inputs, digital optical (TOSLINK), and coaxial inputs, allowing seamless connection to devices like CD players, streaming devices, or gaming consoles. Additionally, it features analog stereo preamp and subwoofer outputs, enabling integration with external amplifiers or powered subwoofers for an enhanced audio setup.

Measuring just 8.5 inches in width, 2.9 inches in height, and 5.4 inches in depth, the Bijou 2100's compact footprint makes it suitable for installations where space is limited. Its efficient design and cool operation allow for placement in various locations, including behind flat-panel displays or within cabinetry, without the need for additional ventilation.
Comprehensive Control and Integration
Designed with integrators in mind, the Bijou 2100 is both IP and IR controllable, ensuring seamless compatibility with popular third-party automation systems. An intuitive web interface simplifies setup and configuration, while the included remote control provides convenient operation for end-users.
