AMC XIA 50 Integrated Stereo Amplifier in Black

DESCRIPTION

XIA 50 Integrated Stereo Amplifier in Black

Punching well above its weight, both in terms of output and price point; the The AMC XIA50 is the next step up from the excellent entry level XIA30 amplifier.

Phono Stage 

The XIA50 features a unique phono stage design, with  two audiophile grade op-amps per channel providing very low THD, TIM and noise with switchable Moving Magnet or Moving Coil cartridge options.
 
Tone Controls 
The XIA50 incorporates a specially designed passive tone control circuit to give natural sound quality. The tone control stage can be completely by-passed with the Direct switch to give natural sound quality.

High Quality Components 
The XIA50 is equipped with audiophile-grade components for physiological precision and powerful low-volume sound reproduction. Tone control and phono responses are precise and dynamic.

High Current
The XIA50 features 50 Amp high peak output devices and an optimised power supply design, granting it the ability to provide dynamic drive and consistently deliver high currents to passive speakers.

Its output stage, designed with perfect virtual image topology, allows direct connection to speakers without reliance on relay contacts, further optimizing sound quality.

Toroidal Transformer  
No amp is complete without a competent power supply section and a robust toroidal transformer able to provide the continuous power needs of the amplifier circuit. The universal power transformer in the XIA50 has an international safety compliance and exhibits exceptionally low RF noise to provide the ultimate in crystal clear sound.

Gold Connectors
Gold plated RCA connectors & binding post speaker terminals provide reliable sound transmission to and from the AMC XIA50 Integrated Stereo Amplifier.
