USER’S MANUAL
1. INTRODUCTION
Coming directly from the know-how of the exceptional Thesis line, Voce components takes the experience of listening in the
car to a new level of excellence.
Project innovation, advanced design, benchmark performance; the synthesis of consolidated know-how applied to car audio
systems. The Voce project was born to make Thesis sound quality available to a wider - but no less demanding - audience.
The development of these components took advantage of the major innovations introduced while designing the Thesis
line: analog and digital technologies combined using different classes of configuration for amplifiers, reduction of the main
sources of non-linear distortion, linearization of acoustic and electric loads, control of cone and diaphragm resonance for
speakers. To achieve these goals it was necessary to develop new circuit solutions, increase heat capacity, design new
moulds for baskets and diaphragms and define new assembly procedures and quality control.
A delicate balance of analysis and refinement led us to results exceeding our expectations and set a new benchmark for the
category.
THE AV 5.1K AMPLIFIERS PROJECT
AV 5.1k HD, 1650W (RMS) total, 5-channel power audio amplifier: hybrid design made up of two 75 W A Class channels, two
250 W AB Class channels and one 1000 W D Class channel.
This unique combination of technologies, each especially suitable for one specific audio section, makes the AV 5.1k HD
amplifier the perfect choice to build active two-way Front systems: Tweeter/MID-Tweeter (A Class) + Woofer (AB Class) e
Subwoofer (D Class), or Front + Rear + Subwoofer systems.
AV 5.1k HD is the first Car Audio amplifiers featuring digital inputs only, providing the ability to connect directly to the digital
outputs of a digital signal processor (DSP).
Through this connection, made via the Audison AD Link available on the Audison processors (bit One, bit Ten D), a Full DA HD
audio chain can be created. Thanks to this chain, the high resolution (96kHz/24 bit) digital audio signal coming from the
head unit, via the processor, can be obtained up to just the Digital/Analog converter of the amplifier’s audio chain, ensuring
maximum reduction of any signal deterioration.
Thanks to its input connectivity, the Audison AC Link can also be connected to control the amplifier as well as the AC Link
and AD Link outputs, to expand the audio system with other Audison Voce amplifiers.
These features make AV 5.1k HD the most advanced amplifier available in the market, perfect to appreciate the quality of
Hi-Res audio files.

USER’S MANUAL
AUDISON AMPLIFIERS CAN BE PART OF A HIGH POWER AUDIO SYSTEM THAT
CAN GENERATE VERY HIGH UNDISTORTED SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS. PLEASE
REMEMBER THAT LONG EXPOSURE TO AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH SOUND PRESSURE
LEVEL MAY DAMAGE YOUR HEARING; THEREFORE, PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE
AND PRACTICE SAFE SOUND.
Safety must be at the forefront while driving. The listening volume should never obscure the noise coming from the
outside of your vehicle; you should be able to hear the sounds generated by your vehicle in order to promptly face any
emergency situation.
To achieve the best possible performance from your new components, we recommend you follow the instructions in this
manual carefully. In order to design and create top level car hi-fi systems you need to understand automobile mechanical
and electrical issues very well; if you think you lack the required knowledge or the proper tools, please consult with a
specialized installer.
A professional installation will ensure your system delivers all the performance you have paid for, without affecting the
safety and reliability of your vehicle.
This manual has been designed to provide you with the basic instructions required to install and use this product.
However, the range of possible applications is very wide; to obtain further information, please contact your authorized
Audison dealer or Audison service center.
