E1X A500 Analog Integrated Amplifier

The E1X A500 Integrated amplifier is designed in a sleek all-aluminum chassis using our unique constrained layer damping that provides the highest quality anti-vibration platform for high-power amplification. The E1X discrete SSHC (Single Stage High Current) input amplifier and output stage are combined with switch mode power that produces 250W 8 ohms and 500W into 4 ohms per channel, communicating the full musical message

The E1X A500 Integrated amplifier combines the finest fully balanced analog preamp with high-powered stereo amplification in a constrain layer E1X aluminum chassis. Designed to support the finest source components with balanced and single-ended analog inputs combined with high-powered stereo amplification. The precision volume control lets you dial in the level to drive the most complex or efficient speaker with ultra-low noise power. The combination is dynamic and detailed.

The fully balanced preamplifier stage is designed using precision resistors and custom low noise triple isolated power transformer to maintain the optimal signal balance to the amplifier that achieves the lowest noise and distortion levels possible.

  • 2 Pair XLR balanced inputs

  • 4 High Quality Cardas custom RCA Inputs

  • 1 Pair Independently Buffered XLR and RCA Outputs

  • WBT NextGen speaker post

  • Independent Headphone output

 

Our proprietary SSHA (Single Stage High-Current Amplifier) interposer defines the sonic quality of the E1X Integrated Amplifier. This is a very fast, low noise amplifier with a single-stage folded cascode architecture and over 500mA of peak current output capability. It maintains constant very low distortion levels through the audio band because of its high open-loop bandwidth. The SSHA module brings a further element of dynamic resolution and contrast to the NCore Amplifier power buffer. The vertical modular design permits a tight, efficient Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout that combines the best of IC based and discrete component design. The PCB represents a final degree of design refinement that is especially critical when the circuit is capable of 130dB of dynamic range or more.
