LAIV Crescendo CHORUS

The LAiV Crescendo CHORUS is a GaN-powered stereo power amplifier that delivers audiophile-grade performance in a compact form factor. In stereo mode, it provides 50W per channel (8Ω) through a single-ended amplification design that accepts both XLR and RCA inputs. Switch to bridge mono mode and CHORUS takes a single input, converts it into a balanced signal, and outputs 120W (8Ω) of true balanced power. For the ultimate listening experience, pair two CHORUS units in bridge mono mode for 120W per channel with complete left/right electrical isolation, eliminating crosstalk and delivering a wider, more precise soundstage.

CHORUS is a trickle-down design from the LAiV Harmony GaNM, carrying the same core GaN amplification technology to the Crescendo series at a significantly more accessible price point. GaN (Gallium Nitride) transistors switch at ultra-fast speeds, enabling CHORUS to produce an output signal that is virtually indistinguishable from the original analogue waveform. This translates directly into lower total harmonic distortion, wider audio bandwidth, and higher overall efficiency. CHORUS features advanced protection mechanisms to safeguard both the amplifier and your loudspeakers, and a built-in microcontroller runs through a full system check upon startup before switching into operation mode.
