Nº532 Power Amplifier

What’s in the Box

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 the3 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.
