Mark Levinson Nº533H 3-Channel Power Amplifier

Description

The Mark Levinson No533H is an incredibly clever deign, offering an almost identical level of performance to the 531H and 532H mono-and stereo- power amplifiers, which providing a scalable internal power system that helps deliver optimum performance to each channel as need. This make it the perfect amplifier for the all important front three channels in a home cinema system, ensuring the incredible performance of the 531H and 532H is delivered to all three primary front channels from a single chassis.

Reference AV say:

_“The Mark Levinson Nº533H is a rarity. Few manufacturers have the foresight to offer a three channel amplifier, fewer still can offer one that delivers the same sonic virtues as its mono and stereo siblings. The 533H provides the ultimate flexibility for multi-channel system and is the cornerstone that the rest of the system can be built around. _”

Unrivalled High-End Performance at the Price Point

The Nº533H shares the same basic amplifier module as the Nº531H and Nº532H but is a semi-monoblock design. With power supplies that can be shared across multiple channels, this design lends itself well to multi-channel environments where one channel might need more power at times than others. All other features of the Nº533H are identical to the Nº531H and Nº532H and the common design creates a consistent sonic signature for use in multiple amplifier system configurations.

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.
