Nº532 Power Amplifier
Special care was taken in the design and placement of the voltage
regulator circuitry. Using multiple stages, two types of regulators,
and custom-tailored to the audio circuitry for which they provide
power, these discrete, low-noise and wide bandwidth circuits are in
close proximity to the audio signal path that they power, but placed
on a separate circuit board to minimize interaction with the audio
signals and prevent the corruption of low-level signals.
The signal path is electrically identical for both audio channels and
contains no relays, capacitors, or inductors to minimize forms of
nonlinearity and maintain very low output impedance levels. The
compact design of the circuitry allows the signal path to be tighter
and smaller, reducing parasitic capacitances and minimizing
propagation delay and phase shift. The end result is a faster, wider
bandwidth and cleaner output signal with very low impedance level
and minimal signal degradation. Lastly, the audio signal output
path contains 24 output devices per channel – providing an
impressive power capability while minimizing crossover distortion.
The Nº532 also provides support for external controls through a
network-capable Ethernet port for use with ML Net and external
protocol controllers through a computer or network, a Mark
Levinson Link2 control port, and standard trigger controls.
Embracing new technology with the same level of enduring
excellence, the Nº532 dual monaural power amplifier is the
best-performing power amplifier designed by Mark Levinson. Truly
impressive output capabilities combined with the high power
efficiency of all Mark Levinson amplifiers make the Nº532 a
remarkably capable amplifier, sure to impress even the most
demanding of audio enthusiasts.
