M28 MONO AMPLIFIER, CLASSIC OR ARGENTO FINISH: £18000/Unit
Dual-Mono Design: Each monoblock amplifier is fully isolated, providing a dedicated power supply and signal path per channel for unmatched channel separation and clarity.
High Output Power: The M28 can easily deliver substantial current and power output to handle the most demanding speakers, maintaining control at any volume level.
Advanced Power Supply: Equipped with dual high-current linear power supplies for consistent and efficient performance.
Internally Balanced: Fully balanced signal path to maximise the benefits of dual-differential technology and reduce noise.
The Bricasti M28 Monoblock amplifier is an exceptionally pure and precisely controlled current source. This expertly crafted device delivers the substantial current needed to effectively drive and control any speaker, even during the most demanding musical passages. The elusive listening experience that many seek is instantly noticeable.
A balanced differential structure minimises the stress across the M28 amplifier's internal elements. Pairing the M28 with the balanced structure of the Bricasti M1 digital-to-analogue converter forms a balanced differential signal flow from source to speaker. This unique pairing forms an optimised, engineered system that announces a natural yet rarely heard sonic ease. The M28 offers 18 dB of stepped attenuated gain adjustment for added flexibility, enabling proper level matching with any audio source or listening space. An RS232 link conveys status information for monitoring a number of system functions.
GAIN, SET,
MATCH
A harmony of concept and function, the M28 amplifier exhibits the precision and beauty of a thoroughly engineered system. The milled aluminium chassis is carved to exact tolerances. Each electronic element is matched to a purpose-built location within the chassis.
BEAUTIFULLY
BUILT
Thoughtful use of mass and passive ventilation ensures uniform heat distribution and a cool touch under any load. Performance criteria are assured through electronic and thermal design and an extensive analysis of each completed system. The M28 is conservatively rated at 200 watts into an 8-ohm load. Ruler flat response and vanishing distortion, of course. Fast, articulate, distortion-free low-frequency performance, even at the speaker's resonant peak, perhaps unanticipated.
AMPLIFIED
PERFORMANCE
The M28 monoblock amplifier features a fully balanced, dual-differential design, with separate amplifiers for each channel. This configuration ensures exceptional signal fidelity. Preventing negative signals from contacting the ground significantly reduces electronic crosstalk, noise, and interference while improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The outcome is a more natural and lifelike sound at any volume level.
