Luxman L-509x amplifier

Features of the Luxman L-509X

 

New LECUA1000 — LUXMAN Electronically Controlled Attenuator 1000 —

New LECUA1000, which is the integration of an amplifier circuit and a high-precision attenuator by electronically-controlled fixed resistance switcheovers is mounted. Further fine sound volume adjustable without deterioration of sound quality from 0 dB through −87 dB

ODNF — Only Distortion Negative Feedback —

The output section features LUXMAN’s original distortion-only negative feedback system which allows for a high speed primary slew rate and ultra-wide audio bandwidth. Only distortion generated in the amplification process is fed back for cancellation. This maintains pure, high quality sound reproduction in the main amplifier section. The latest version, ODNF 4.0 has achieved low impedance and a high signal to noise ratio for the transmission circuits thanks to the paralleled first stage and Darlington equipped second stage amplification circuits. Also the input stage error detection circuits are triple-paralleled to moderate frequency characteristics and noise

4 parallel push-pull output stages

4 parallel push-pull structure of bipolar transistors. Rated output of 120 W+120 W (8Ω), 220 W+220 W (4Ω)

Peel coat, PCB

A peel coat PCB is used for the amplifier board to eliminate the dielectric effect of a resist by using gold plating instead of applying a resist on copper foil with 100μm in thickness.

Highly stable power supply

Highly stable power supply circuit that combines a large-capacity EI-core-type power transformer with customizable 10,000μF × 8 capacitor bloc

Parallel speaker relays

This unit is equipped with 2 large parallel speaker relays with a low resistance value to reduce the impedance of the speaker output lines.

Beeline construction

LUXMAN’s “Beeline” construction ensures that the audio signal path takes the optimum shortest route from input to speaker output.

Technics SB-R1 loudspeakers

Point-Sound-Source Speaker System

For soundstage focus and precise imaging, the wave-fronts from a speaker’s drive units should ideally be aligned, arriving simultaneously at the listener’s ears regardless of the listening position. In other words, the speaker system should appear to have have only one point sound source. The newly developed flat coaxial two-way speaker unit, combining midrange and treble drivers, works with a virtual coaxial woofer to realise a point sound source, providing smooth directional characteristics over the entire frequency range, without peaks or dips

Phase Precision Driver (Flat Coaxial 2-Way Speaker Unit)

For faithful reproduction of mid-range and high-frequency sound, Technics has developed an all-new flat coaxial two-way drive. The flat mid-range diaphragm is of a sandwich construction, using lightweight, high-rigidity carbon cloth skins and aluminium honeycomb core.

It maintains a perfect pistonic motion over a frequency band extending beyond the crossover point with the tweeter, while eliminating the frequency distortions caused by the ‘cavity effect’ in conventional cone diaphragms. The magnetic circuit employs a large magnet, copper cap, copper shorting ring and short voice coil with high-density edgewise winding to achieve high drive power and low distortion, while the speaker chassis is die-cast aluminium, with a resonance-dispersing structure to eliminate even the smallest unwanted vibration.

Ultra Wide Range Reproduction

Thanks to a carbon graphite dome tweeter mounted at the centre of the flat mid-range drive unit, the SB-R1 is capable of reproducing frequencies all the way up to 100 kHz. And with bass extension down to 20 Hz, it’s ready to deliver the vast frequency spectrum offered by high-quality, high-resolution music sources.

High-Quality Network Circuit

The High-Quality Network Circuit was created as a result of extensive designing and listening, in order to maximise the performance of each speaker unit and achieve a balanced sound. To prevent interference between the drive units and minimise the effect of vibration, separate network boards for woofer, mid-range and tweeter are optimally arranged inside the cabinet.

High Rigidity Round Form Cabinet

A 50-mm-thick baffle used in the cabinet supports the speaker units rigidly and suppresses undesirable resonances, while side panels comprising eight layers of MDF give the cabinet a curved form, suppressing unwanted vibration and reducing internal and external diffraction and reflection.  

An internal partition divides the cabinet into upper and lower sections, and eliminates low-order standing waves in the vertical direction. The choice of absorbent acoustic material and its position were optimised based on the frequency band of each drive-unit as well as the cabinet volume, thus further suppressing standing waves inside the cabinet, and even the rings round each drive unit are made of a material with high internal loss to eliminate unwanted emitting from anywhere other than the speaker sound diaphragm.

The glossy finish on the cabinet is created through a series of processes including repeated coating, sanding, and polishing, the high degree of craftsmanship complementing the speakers’ high-quality sound. The finish even suppresses fine vibrations generated on the cabinet surface, thus contributing to the accuracy of the sound.

Low Distortion 16-cm Long Stroke Woofer

Technics has developed a long-throw woofer capable of reproducing super-low frequencies with dramatically reduced distortion, giving powerful, dynamic and responsive bass. A push-pull edge (Symmetrical Surround Technology, SST) design cancels secondary harmonic distortion in the low-frequency range.

1 - Flat coaxial 2-way speaker unit

The newly developed flat coaxial two way speaker unit features a dome tweeter capable of reproducing frequencies of up to 100 kHz, which incorporates a rigid and lightweight carbon graphite diaphragm. In addition, the speaker unit features a flat midrange diaphragm that eliminates the frequency characteristic disturbance due to the cavity effect caused by the cone diaphragm. The result is a point sound source that achieves superb sound localisation and provides smooth directional characteristics over the entire frequency range without peaks or dips.

2 - Low distortion long stroke woofer

The woofer offers low distortion and superb response in reproducing frequencies even with large amplitude, delivering bass sound with a wide dynamic range.

3 - High rigidity round form cabinet

Designed to eliminate unwanted vibration, diffraction reflection, and standing waves, the cabinet allows the reproduction of faithful and rich sound ambience.

Cambridge Alva TT turntable

Rather than go for a Belt Drive system with the ALVA TT, we opted for a medium-torque Direct Drive. Over time, the elastic used on a Belt Drive turntable can stretch and will need to be replaced. As a result of this wear, Belt Drive turntables traditionally have a less accurate playback speed than their Direct Drive cousins. This isn’t a problem on the ALVA TT – it has just 0.06% Wow and Flutter. This means a far better pitch stability – particularly during longer, more sustained musical notes.

The Alva TT uses a classic British-made one-piece tonearm. There are no joints, giving it the best possible grounding for the cartridge and offering extremely low friction.

It’s designed to retrieve the maximum amount of sonic detail from the cartridge and therefore your records.

Bluetooth aptX HD liberates your record player from the hi-fi rack. With the freedom to place Alva TT anywhere you like, your records are invited into the lime-light. Your music can be streamed from Alva TT to any Bluetooth receiver at up to 24bit/48kHz Hi-Res, which means you’re guaranteed an authentic vinyl experience, wherever it’s placed.

McIntosh MTI 100

The MTI100 Integrated Turntable is so much more than just a turntable. A one-of-a-kind product, the MTI100 is designed for those who want maximum flexibility in their home audio system but don’t want – or don’t have the space for – a large audio system in their home.

 Besides playing 33-1/3 and 45 rpm records, it also includes a power amplifier, a vacuum tube preamplifier, a phono preamplifier, analog and digital inputs, a Bluetooth® receiver, a subwoofer output, stereo speaker outputs, and a headphone jack.

 The dedicated phono preamplifier is housed in a custom shielding box that prevents interference or noise from seeping into the vinyl signal.

 Comes with a Sumiko Olympia Moving Magnet cartridge, whose upgraded stylus and cantilever assembly allow for more dynamic punch and improved frequency response.

 Class D amplifier is rated for 80 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms or 50 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms.

 Marries vintage vinyl records with modern music streaming via a High Definition Bluetooth input that ensures you receive the best sound quality possible from your Bluetooth device.
