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 quattro AMPLIFIER PROJECT
AV quattro is a four-channel amplifier which can work in four, three, two channel mode, delivering 800 W (RMS)
power total. It is designed in order to handle complex configurations as front/rear and multi-channel systems.
Inputs and ARTTM ensure interfacing with every type of source; up to 24 dB/Oct. slope crossovers allow to build front-
rear, front-sub or multi-amplified systems always having a non-filtered output signal to expand the system. AV quattro
also allows you to replace the analog input board with the digital one (AV bit IN).

OWNER’S MANUAL AV quattro /
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.
