TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

General description / special features

LASA 2.0 amplifier – MBL-developed technology that combines the advantages of diff erent amplifier concepts. The resultant amplifier is perfectly suited to drive complex loads such as loudspeakers, ensuring that the frequency response remains stable even at varying loads and has a homogeneous tonal balance throughout frequency range.
Symmetrical layout for better common mode rejection
Soft Clipping – even at very high volumes the amplifier goes gently into clipping mode, never sounding aggressive or distorted
Power supply is made by a massive analog toroidal transformer with protective shield technology in its MU-metal enclosure
560 watts (4 Ω) power with 36 Amp peak output current, values that ensure a sovereign and unconstrained performance even at higher volume levels
Rectifier with low recovery losses
Pass-through output (XLR) for connecting a further power amplifier. This allows the use of two amplifiers per channel for bi-amping, even if only one cable from the preamplifier leads to the power amplifier, or the preamplifier has only one output per channel.
Two balanced inputs (XLR) for connecting two separate preamplifiers or one preamplifier and a streamer with its own volume control
High-quality, vibration-damped full copper loudspeaker connections (binding posts) by the German manufacturer WBT
MBL SmartLink version 2.0, employed to network MBL devices with the exchange of status information
Intelligent remote control concept for easy operation
SD-card slot for easy firmware and display content update
“Made in Germany” development and production made in MBL’s own factory in Berlin
