ITALIAN HIFI BRAND M2TECH RELEASE THE NEW CLASSIC INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

M2Tech known for their mid-size Rockstars series of electronics, is launching the M2Tech Classic Integrated Amplifier, to fulfil the expectations of the many audiophiles who look for more traditional products.

M2Tech is now launching a new line of products, called “Classic”, the first item of which is the new Classic Integrated Amplifier.

M2TECH CLASSIC INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

The Classic Integrated Amplifier has been designed keeping in mind the real needs of the demanding audiophile, who looks for an elegant look, ease of use, versatility and, of course, an involving sonic performance.

The Classic Integrated Amplifier’s power stage delivers rated continuous power of 60Wrms p.c. on 8 Ohms,  it’s capable of producing up to 242Wrms p.c. short-term power (10ms) on 4 Ohms.

In order to achieve the best sonic performance, M2Tech designers decided to eliminate electronic protections, relying on the power amplifier’s oversizing, as well as on a thermal sensor to avoid overheating the output transistors.

PREAMP SECTION

The line preamp section of the Classic Integrated Amplifier is far more than the usual opamp or even passive attenuator: its refined discrete components circuit allows for driving the internal power stage, as well as any external power amplifier. Volume control is implemented by an Alps RK27 potentiometer and the input selection uses relays.

PHONOSTAGE

The phono stage is probably the most noticeable part of the Classic Integrated Amplifier. It is a MM/MC, discrete components phono stage able to handle all MM pickups, as well as most MC pickups in the same price range as the Classic Integrated Amplifier and beyond. Users not using a turntable can set this input to line level.

M2TECH CLASSIC INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER POWER SUPPLY

The power supply of the Classic Integrated Amplifier has been designed to tightly follow the power requirements of the music program, without wasting money on uselessly big transformers and bulk capacitors. This made it possible to keep the cost of the Classic Integrated amplifier within the chosen target. The M2Tech Classic Integrated Amplifier is provided with an infrared remote control, trigger inputs and outputs and a wifi interface to enable control from smartphone with free apps for Android phones and iPhones.

The Classic Integrated Amplifier sports a solid chassis with a brushed aluminum front panel including simple controls and indicators, like the classic amplifiers of 80s and 90s.

M2TECH CLASSIC INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER PRICE

The Classic Integrated Amplifier costs 3999€ + VAT MSRP.

HiFi PiG Says: A nice looking amplifier from M2Tech of Italy, we look forward to hearing it soon.
