Nakamichi NKTE80.4 amplifier
The Nakamichi NKTE80.4 is a four-channel class AB amplifier designed for users seeking a balanced mix of power, sound quality and reliability. Both in construction and sound it targets classic installations where emphasis is placed on clean reproduction, good dynamics and a natural character without the harshness typical of cheaper class D amplifiers. The amplifier delivers 4 × 80 W at 4 Ω and in bridged mode can provide 2 × 240 W at 4 Ω, allowing flexible use – from powering component speakers to combining front stage speakers with a small subwoofer. Thanks to this versatility, the NKTE80.4 is suitable for basic upgrades as well as more thoughtful multi-stage installations. The NKTE80.4 is equipped with integrated high-pass and low-pass filters, enabling basic crossover settings directly on the amplifier. Full-range operation is also available. Controls are clearly arranged and allow easy adjustment of gain and filtering without additional electronics, which is particularly useful for simpler installations without a DSP processor. The amplifier is built in a sturdy aluminum chassis that serves both as mechanical protection and an effective heatsink. The ribbed top design ensures good heat dissipation and stable operation even under prolonged load. Due to its compact dimensions, the amplifier is suitable for installation in limited spaces, for example under seats or in side luggage compartments. The NKTE80.4 thus represents a solid and reliable foundation for a quality car audio system.

About the Nakamichi brand
The history of Nakamichi dates back to 1948, when it was founded in Japan by Etsuro Nakamichi. His journey toward fulfilling his dreams began with the establishment of a small research institute, Nakamichi Research Corporation, in Tokyo. It focused on sonar and magnet research and provided development solutions for leading brands, government institutions, universities and other organizations. Since then it has established itself as a trusted creator of high-quality products born from intensive scientific work, a passion for sound and a commitment to uncompromising quality and performance. In 1972, Takeshi Nakamichi joined Nakamichi Corporation and played a key role during its period of growth. He was closely involved in the development of all the brand's legendary audio products sold in Asia, America and Europe – including the introduction of the Nakamichi 1000, the world's first cassette deck. He was regarded as one of the world's leading acoustics and sound engineers, able to combine top-notch sound with the genius design virtues of the brand's then chief engineer Kozo Kobayashi. These amplifiers, players and car radios are today considered legends for their unsurpassed quality. Nakamichi remains successful today, producing high-quality products not only for home audio but also for vehicles. The manufacturer's cleverly designed portfolio continues to grow, and virtually all products stand out for their excellent sound and build quality in their price category.
