Technics SU-G700M2 Stereo Amplifier The SU-G700M2 Grand Class integrated stereo amplifier features a classic look, with illuminated VU meters featuring front and centre. Underneath the classic looks is a state-of-the-art Class D amplifier with a wide range of digital and analogue inputs, including a high-quality MM/MC phono stage. Unique Three-section Design The SU-G700M2 integrated amplifier is built for superior sound quality. By using a unique three-section design with dedicated partitions between different circuit blocks, it reduces interference and distortion. This setup ensures that both delicate input signals and high-power output currents are kept separate, ensuring the most immersive, lifelike listening experience possible. Reference Class Audio Technology To deliver every detail of your music without compromise, the SU-G700M2 uses a state-of-the-art JENO Engine for full digital amplification, inspired by high-end reference systems. Unlike traditional digital amplifiers, this model solves common audio quality issues caused by jitter (timing errors) with a proprietary jitter reduction circuit that ensures pristine sound across all frequencies. Thanks to a clever feature called Load Adaptive Phase Calibration (LAPC) the SU-G700M2 tailors its output to your specific speakers, balancing frequency, amplitude, and phase for a smoother, more accurate sound to maximise performance. Versatile Connectivity SU-G700M2 features a wide range of source inputs including a gain-adjustable phono input that is compatible with both MM and MC cartridges. Two stereo RCA line inputs, two digital coaxial and two digital optical inputs provide plenty of choice for connecting external sources such as a network streamer, CD player, TV or games console. The USB Type-B input enables connection to a computer or external drive thereby taking advantage of the high-performance built-in DAC. Class AA Headphone Amplifier SU-G700M2 is equipped with a premium Class AA headphone amplifier, featuring separate circuits for voltage and current amplification to deliver pristine audio for those solo listening sessions. Elegant Design and Premium Build-Quality This amplifier exudes quality, with its understated design and exceptional build. At just under 14kg, it feels very substantial, the 7mm-thick aluminium front panel is sandwiched between a two-layer bottom chassis with 1.2mm and 2mm steel plates and a 1.6mm steel top plate. This solid cabinet design doesn’t just look and feel good to use, it also absorbs vibrations, effectively blocking electrical and mechanical interference that could distort the sound. Key Features: 70 watts x 2 into 8 ohms (1kHz) at 0.5% THD 140 watts x 2 into 4 ohms (1kHz) at 0.5% THD Illuminated VU meters on the front panel Dimmable display shows selected source and other info High-quality built-in DAC JENO engine for clear sound from digital sources LAPC (load adaptive phase calibration) to optimise output for your speakers Three-section internal construction with partitions between circuit blocks Class AA headphone amplifier with full-size 1/4" front-panel headphone jack Remote with batteries included
