JBL has crafted the SA750 integrated amplifier with retro styling, commemorative badging, walnut-wood veneer side panels, and thoroughly modern features, connectivity, and amplification. The SA750 is inspired by the classic JBL SA600 amplifier from the ‘60’s, updated with state-of-the-art streaming audio, wireless connectivity, Dirac Live room correction, and Class G amplifier technology. The SA750 features a high-resolution DAC and has built-in WiFi for streaming music via online services and for streaming over AirPlay 2 and Chromecast from compatible devices. It's also a Roon-ready endpoint. Shipped with a calibration microphone, the SA750 features Dirac Live to fine-tune the output of speakers and subwoofers to the listening space. Rated at a conservative 120 Watts rms per channel, the Class G amplifier provides Class A performance at low levels and brings in a higher power supply for more demanding dynamics. With four digital and four analog inputs, including MM/MC phono inputs, the SA750 is ready for any audio source. IP control allows for easy smart home integration.
