Stereo Power Amplifier 500W
- Amplifiers // Masterpiece






Description
The Masterpiece Stereo Power Amplifier 500W has been developed to combine exceptional power and control with the natural, organic presentation we look for in all our Masterpiece products.
The amplifier uses advanced Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology switching at just below 1MHz together with our own newly developed power supply design using 3 levels of filtering from low ESR electrolytic capacitors, film capacitors and also inductors.
GaN devices operate extremely quickly and efficiently, helping to reduce noise and distortion while providing excellent transient response and loudspeaker control.
The result is a powerful yet highly refined amplifier with exceptional dynamics, deep controlled bass and a wide holographic soundstage, while retaining a smooth, natural and analogue character with both digital and vinyl sources.
Masterpiece Stereo Power Amplifier 500W features:
Gallium Nitride (GaN) Class D amplification
500W high-power output stage
New Robson power supply technology
Extremely low noise and distortion
Exceptional transient speed and control
Wide holographic soundstage
Natural analogue presentation
Hand crafted Masterpiece construction
- Carbide Audio isolation feet
As with all our Masterpiece products, the amplifier is hand crafted using carefully selected materials and components, with standard or Carbide Audio Micro isolation feet available.
