The pursuit of perfect amplification is a well-known theme in high-end audio. New technologies present new approaches, while looking to the past provides inspiration for the future. It was in that spirit that the Mark Levinson® № 534 amplifier was developed: a design advised by the traditions and art of classic Mark Levinson amplifier designs, and with a specific target sound: a deep, expansive soundstage, accurate image placement, extended low bass response with good pitch definition, and detailed high frequencies free from “etching.” To that end, the Mark Levinson engineering team started with the following requirements:
Pure Path discrete, direct coupled, fully balanced, dual-monaural signal path
Expansive, fine imaging, extended low frequency response/pitch, and natural high frequencies
Painstakingly optimized little negative feedback, bandwidth, slewing, and open-loop linearity
Fully differential class-AB architecture, operates in class A for most listening conditions
Rated for 250wpc into 8 ohms, 500wpc into 4 ohms, with 2-ohm stability
6000-series aluminum chassis, extremely high precision, exceedingly low tolerances
System-integration connectivity: Ethernet, IP, RS-232, triggers, web monitoring and control
Designed and handcrafted in the USA
