Nº433

TRIPLE - MONO POWER AMPLIFIER

A Mark Levinson Amplifier for the Multi - Channel Age

The Nº433, Mark Levinson’s first three- channel, single-chassis power amplifier, is a significant milestone. It combines multi- channel flexibility with the legendary quality and performance of our traditional single- and dual-monaural designs. The Nº433 is our recognition that today’s home entertainment enthusiasts have a plethora of choices avail- able to them, that a growing number of these choices use multi-channel sound to express artistic vision, and that today’s audiences deserve no less than the most truthful aural windows possible.

In addition, power amplifiers are core compo- nents of any high performance entertainment system. Power amplifiers play an inherently difficult role as they need to be authoritative enough to drive a wide variety of demanding speakers, yet transparent in order to preserve sonic neutrality.

A Multi - Channel Standard

The Nº433 is no exception to the demanding standards that Mark Levinson amplifiers have defined for more than three decades. Rated at 200 watts per channel into 8 Ohms and 400 watts per channel into 4 Ohms, the Nº433 is convection cooled and utilizes exposed internal heat sinks for each channel.

With basic design directly traceable to our Nº432 and Nº431 dual-monaural power amplifiers, the Nº433 boasts three massive
