Mark Levinson Nº532H Stereo Power Amplifier

Description

The Mark Levinson No532H Stereo Power Amplifier is the definition of truly outstanding performance in its categories. Drawing from the Mark Levinson heritage, while utilizing a new, straightforward, balanced, current-feedback design creates a stereo amplifier that must be listened to in order to be fully appreciated. The final result is impressive even for the Mark Levinson high standard of excellence.

Reference AV say:

_“The Mark Levinson Nº532H offers a level of performance that is simply incredible for its price point. It offers such detail, clarity and three dimensional imaging of the source signal, with such incredibly life-like dynamics, that it represent a true reference level design. We highly recommend this amplifier, and so much so that we have the Mark Levinson Nº532H on permanent demonstration! _”

Unrivalled High-End Performance at the Price Point

The Nº532H is a true mono-block design with independent power supplies for each channel and is rated at 300W per channel into 8 ohms. The transformers and power supply designs deliver unsurpassed dynamics and transient responses for today’s demanding audio formats and provide stability with even the most difficult to drive loudspeakers. Fully differential circuitry ensures that balanced input signals stay that way throughout the signal path and traditional Mark Levinson “Hurricane” binding posts offer secure termination to the loudspeaker.

The heart of the No500H Series amplifiers – elegant simplicity. The use of multiple smaller capacitors allows them to be physically closer to the amplifiers themselves providing for greater transient response when power is needed immediately. The No531H, No532H and No533H each have sixteen output transistors per channel while the No535H has twelve per channel. All models are fully-differential designs with robust power supplies and are stable into 2 ohms.

All four No 500H Series amplifiers feature 12V trigger and Ethernet control ports for system integration and can be rack mounted using third-party custom rack shelves.
