TECHNICS SU-R1000 BLACK

SU-R1000 BLACK

Reference Class Series;
- Revolutionary balanced stereo integrated amplifier, Technics' flagship model, the pinnacle of the most refined and reliable Japanese electronic and manufacturing tradition, the result of an innovative approach, a condensed form of advanced technology, uncompromising design and layout, state-of-the-art construction with superlative Audiophile Grade components, unprecedented technical parameters, capable of delivering astonishing performance, with impeccable musicality, purity, and naturalness;
- Power output of 150 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms and 300 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms;
- Frequency response 5 Hz - 80 kHz (-3 dB, 8 Ohm) for line and digital signals and 20 Hz - 20 kHz for Phono signals (RIAA deviation +/-1 dB, 8 Ohm);
- Load impedances handled with indifference between 4 and 16 Ohms;
- Symmetrical layout divided into four independent sections, with dedicated and separate power supplies for each block: line pre-amplification, Phono stage, power amplification stage, digital circuits;
- Fully digital signal path from the input stage to the speaker output terminals;
- Discrete component input stage, equipped with a 32-bit / 768 kHz Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) AK5572EN analog-to-digital converter;
- Exclusive circuit with JENO (Jitter Elimination and Noise Shaping Optimization) processor, which performs high-precision pulse width modulation (PMW) conversion using a battery-powered clock generator in the noise-shaping system, capable of eliminating jitter across the entire frequency spectrum;
- Output stage with discrete component digital-to-analog conversion, without integrated DAC chips and with Gallium Nitride (GaN FET) field-effect transistors;
- Proprietary active distortion cancellation technologies ADCT (Active Distortion Cancelling Technology) and Load Adaptive Phase Calibration (LAPC), capable of eliminating distortion and optimizing response by detecting the impulse returned by the speaker load and analyzing the difference with the signal output from the JENO circuit, in order to apply digital signal correction and perfect the amplification system, whose power is delivered ideally. These combined systems result in dynamic, detailed, distortion-free, and phase-anomaly-free transmission, and impeccable driving of any speaker, regardless of impedance variations and across the entire frequency spectrum;
- Highly sophisticated and accurate Intelligent Phono EQ hybrid MM/MC pre-amplification stage, which incorporates different proprietary circuits: Crosstalk Canceller measures the crosstalk characteristics of the installed cartridge and applies correction to perfect the signal; Phono Response Optimizer applies DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to correct impedance discrepancies between the cartridge load and the Phono input; Accurate EQ Drive allows choosing between RIIA, IEC, Columbia, Decca/FFRR, AES, NAB, and RCA equalization curves;
- Advanced Speed Silent Power Supply with separate power supplies for the right and left channels, based on a switching system with a fixed frequency of 400 kHz, equipped with ultra-low noise voltage regulators, GaN FET transistors, and silicon carbide (SiC) diodes, with stable, ultra-fast, and ultra-clean delivery properties;
- Imposing and extremely rigid steel chassis, highly damping and effective in suppressing any vibration, articulated on two levels and in single blocks separated by shielding plates and structural steel reinforcement;
- 6 mm thick treated aluminum side and top panels, 10 mm thick brushed aluminum front panel;
- Large and elegant VU-Meter panel with dual needle display;
- Machined aluminum knobs;
- Cast iron isolation feet for chassis support;
- Reproduction of digital sources with native conversion of MQA, DSD up to 22.4 MHz (with ASIO) and PCM up to 32 bit / 384 kHz formats;
- USB input interface with passive filter equipped with high-quality ruby mica capacitor and a power conditioner with non-magnetic carbon layer resistors to block electrical noise originating from a PC as well as other external agents;
- Dedicated Main In input, with pre-amplification stage exclusion and signal routed directly to the power amplifier, dedicated to connecting an external pre-amplifier or Audio/Video processor;
- Stereo L/R analog inputs: 2x balanced XLR, 2x unbalanced RCA, 1x unbalanced RCA Phono MM/MC, 1x unbalanced RCA REC In;
