Bricasti M32 Monoblock Power Amplifier
Model 30 Monoblock Amplifier
The M30 monoblock amplifier is the latest iteration of the powerful M28 monoblock amplifier in a more rack-friendly form factor. For those who desire the benefits of monoblocks amps in a more compact size, the M30 boasts the exceptional performance of the M28's with a chassis height of only 10.5 inches and a width of 17 inches.
Based on the award winning M28 the M32 takes amplification to another level of performance. When compared, the M32 Platinum Series has more than 50% more current delivery than the M28; high current delivery, extremely low noise and distortion with lower power supply ripple. This, combined with an increased chassis size capable of housing the new power transformer, we are able to maintain a greater distance between the transformer and the voltage and current gain sections of the amplifier, yields extremely low noise performance and no practical interference from the power supply components and gain sec(ons of the amplifier. The power delivery of the M32 is increased to 250W into 8ohms, 500 into 4 ohms, and current limited for safety at 800W into 2 ohms, more than 1kw peak power into 4 ohms.
The M32 “High Current” amplifiers are available in Platinum Series and Black face versions. Contact your dealer for more information about price and availably of these new amplifiers.
Performance
The M30 integrates the same superb current delivery as the taller M28's in a smaller, wider footprint for those desiring additional power in smaller spaces or rack-friendly set-ups. A single, powerful transformer and custom built capacitor banks render a beautiful sense of depth and dimension that needs to be experienced to truly be appreciated.
Fully differential
Not all devices are balanced end-to-end. The M30's fully differential design delivers a fast, low distortion, open and harmonically accurate musical experience. Paired with any of the Bricasti line of fully differential digital to analog converters, a truly balanced system can be enjoyed from source to speaker.
Optimal design
The M30 chassis is design to keep critical components in an optimal temperature range with the generous use of aluminum, crafted from solid blocks and a clever design that directs airflow through the top. Stillpoints isolation devices have been carefully designed directly into the feet for maximum isolation from vibration.
