GaN amplification:
The future of high-performance audio
GaN (Gallium Nitride) amplification uses a cutting-edge semiconductor material known for its high efficiency and superior performance. Originally developed for demanding applications like aerospace and telecommunications, GaN technology allows amplifiers to deliver potent power in a compact, thermally stable design, ensuring exceptional audio performance and reliability.
In the 1990s, GaN played a crucial role in making Blu-ray technology possible by enabling the development of blue laser diodes that produced 405 nm light directly without the aid of other optical mechanisms, a significant technological achievement.
WHY GaN
Next-generation GaN Semiconductor Amplification Technology
Class-D GaN amplification runs cool to the touch, enabling installation otherwise limited by traditional amplifier designs. GaN-based amplifier topologies achieve power conversion efficiencies in the 95% to 99% range through higher frequency fast switching speeds and lower on-resistance, which reduces conduction loss and lowers thermal temperatures, allowing for higher output power.​​
​
• More than 100 times the efficiency of Silicon
transistors
• Cool running and high efficiency contribute to
device stability and longevity
• Reliably operates at higher voltages and
temperatures
• GaN switches exponentially faster
• The increased speed enables the GaN transistor
to more accurately reproduce the waveform
• Resulting in Higher fidelity!
eARC Features
• eARC – Higher bandwidth, uncompressed audio (1 Mbps to 38 Mbps)
• Decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS
• Can control the Bijou from the native TV remote via CEC
• Backward compatible with ARC if connecting to an older display
BÄ°JOU 5100D Dante Capability
• Dante 2x2 chipset
• Accepts Stereo input from Dante network
• Outputs stereo source via Dante network
• Downmixes multi-ch sources from eArc and sends out a stereo
downmix
• Dante can NOT be used for surround channels
• i.e. Sending surround backs via Dante to an amp on the other
side of the room
• Can take any source from Bijou and route via Dante to any other AC Dante amp
​
Example
Bijou sends audio from cable box via Dante to CM dante amp
powering outdoor speakers
THE BIJOU 2100
The Bijou 2100 is a bit of a chameleon. It can elegantly function as a three-source, two-channel, standalone integrated stereo amplifier with line-level subwoofer output. It is an ideal centerpiece for a small, audio-centric music system with eARC available for occasional video soundtrack playback.
​
The superb onboard DAC is perfect for decoding digital sources, such as streaming music players. Analog sources, like a newly acquired turntable equipped with an internal phono preamp, shine as well. Audio fidelity produced by the Bijou 2100’s GaN-based amplifier stage rivals that of integrated amplifiers priced substantially higher. Its cool-to-the-touch compact footprint enables the Bijou 2100 to be concealed behind flat-panel video displays when operation in stealth mode is desired.
​
THE BIJOU 3100
The Bijou 3100 ups the channel ante to perfectly complement high-end, power-hungry passive soundbars. Left, Center, and Right game-changing GaN-fueled channels each punch well above their weight class, delivering 100 uncompressed pristine watts or more to launch the latest box office action soundtrack directly through to the living room's back wall. HDMI eARC in and line-level subwoofer out enhance TV viewing, while the automaton-friendly and web-configurable Bijou 3100 seamlessly integrates into any popular automation ecosystem.
THE BIJOU 5100D
The Bijou 5100D leads the Bijou Series range and features Dante audio support as its cherry on top. Five GaN semiconductor channels turbocharge the 5100D into a mini home theater powerhouse. All Bijou Series models decode Dolby Atmos and DTS:X through the HDMI eARC input, with the 5100D having onboard power for surround channels. Dante audio creates a fourth input, fetching any source from the Dante network, providing the Bijou 5100D with uncompressed, near-zero latency multi-room capabilities. Unlike a traditional AVR, the Bijou 5100D can be discretely installed behind large flat-panel displays.
Through working with professionals in a number of key areas, including interior design, custom installation, and furniture design, we have expanded our production capabilities to better suit the ever-changing needs of our customers.
