IFi ZEN CAN Studio

Power. And Volume.

Getting the best out of your headphones just isn’t possible with the output from laptops. The ZEN CAN Studio has 52x more output, giving you everything you’ve been missing and helping you hear your recordings without running out of power.

It’s designed to work with pretty well any headphones, with four steps of +6dB gain adjustment for the perfect match.

The ZEN CAN mono selection feature allows you to switch between L, R or L&R to both headphones.

Stacked. With Tech.

The ZEN CAN Studio uses a top-quality custom OV Op-amp to deliver extremely low distortion and low noise output from its Class A balanced circuitry, which is trickled down from the iFi Studio flagship headphone amp, the iCAN. Its output is a huge 15.1v at 300 Ohms.

Sealth mode voltage conversion circuits, with heavy LC filtering, separate the audio circuits from the internal power supply. A large capacitance power reservoir provides the drive for short transient music signals.

Both the balanced inputs, from a D/A for example, and unbalanced inputs can be utilised, providing maximum connection flexibility whether working in the studio, live or on the road.

Internal noise is kept to a minimum as the MCU (microcontroller unit) and LEDs are kept in ‘sleep mode’ unless actioned. All internal switching is FET-based to provide full audio transparency, while handling very high peak signals and keeping noise levels and distortion ultra-low (0.0001%).

Stage. Or Studio.

The ZEN CAN Studio is equally at home on stage, in a live room or in the control room. Use it for musician monitoring in a live room, for example to each member of an orchestra or band, to give far higher quality than is usually offered during recording sessions.

Take it on the road and use it on stage as a monitoring amplifier with your personal IEMs – it’s ideal for use by keyboard players, drummers and static musicians.

Monitor your recordings during mixing and mastering using headphones and the high-quality amplifiers in the ZEN CAN Studio and be confident that what you hear is what you want.
