VTL IT-85 - Stereo Integrated Amplifier

The VTL IT-85 Integrated Amplifier is designed for those looking for the simplicity of a single-chassis system, but with the performance of separates. Designed with a fully active preamp stage, the IT-85 delivers a full 60 watts per channel with sonic characteristics similar to our acclaimed ST-85 stereo amplifier and TL2.5 preamp combination: the fast, musical 3D sound and solid bass support that VTL is known for.

The IT-85 is a complete line preamplifier and power amplifier in a single chassis, and the line section has sufficient gain and buffered output to drive a subwoofer via the preamplifier output. The headphone section of the IT-85 is driven by the tube output stage and output transformer of the power amplifier section, making it a high-performance pure tube headphone amplifier ideal for headphone enthusiasts.

The IT-85 is designed to accommodate future upgrades: when you’re ready to add a subwoofer, separate preamp or power amplifier, surround processor, or headphones to your system, the IT-85’s many output stage configurations can be easily and seamlessly reconfigured, often with the flip of a switch. Hand-built in our California factory with proven VTL quality, the IT-85 will provide lasting value and listening pleasure for years to come.
