actiCHamp series
actiCHamp Plus: Versatile all-in-one lab amplifier
actiCHamp Plus is a scalable and flexible amplifier solution for a wide range of laboratory EEG recording applications. It can be combined with all our active as well as passive electrode systems and is powered by a sturdy lithium-ion battery, the PowerUnit.
All electrode options to best fit your needs
-
- Record with easy-to-prepare active electrodes (actiCAP slim/snap or actiCAP Xpress Twist) for best data quality
- Easily switch to passive sponge-based electrodes (R-Net) when high channel counts and quick preparation times are crucial
- Choose gel-based passive electrodes using our fully customizable BrainCaps
Scalable solution
-
- Modularity for recording 32 to 160 channels
- 8 additional AUX channels for including extra physiological sensors
- Up to 100 kHz sampling rate
Highly integrated for multimodal recordings
-
- Clock synchronization outputs allow for easy integration with external devices (e.g. TMS, EMG)
- Forward incoming triggers to other signal acquisition systems (e.g. fNIRS)
Powered by lithium-ion technology (the PowerUnit)
-
- Long battery life with low self-discharge rate
- Extended recording times due to higher battery capacity
