The Audiophonics LPA-S600NC is a Class D stereo power amplifier based on two Hypex NCore NC500 modules, to meet the demands for power and precision. Housed in a compact aluminum case that's deeper than it is wide, it's easy to use in environments where space is at a premium. What's more, its architecture and design limit the length of internal connections to minimize the audio signal path.
This model is aimed at audiophiles and music lovers who want to enjoy a high-performance amplification solution, with a large power reserve and the ability to reproduce music with incredible precision and richness. NCore modules are among the most rigorous Class D amplification solutions on the market, with exceptional measured performance.
What's more, these amplifier cards are combined with an excellent Hypex SMPS1200A700 high-efficiency power supply module, capable of developing significant power and delivering an extremely clean electrical signal to the amplifier modules. This allows the amplifiers to reach their full potential, without restriction.
The ensemble offers exceptional sound reproduction and can easily accompany demanding loudspeakers, for large listening rooms or studio applications requiring considerable headroom, without compromising on the precision of the audio message.
What's more, like most amplifiers based on NCore technology, frequency response is independent of load, and electromagnetic interference is rigorously controlled, drastically limiting distortion.
Each channel of the Audiophonics LPA-S600NC features its own high-efficiency Hypex NCore NC500 OEM amplifier circuit with low output impedance, distortion and noise. Each amplifier module is capable of delivering 700W at 1% THD, and the 1200W power supply enables them to simultaneously deliver 600W at 0.01% THD into 4 Ohm.
The amplifier's internal wiring and assembly have been carefully designed, using large cross-section power wires, Canare input signal cables, and PTFE-insulated loudspeaker cables.
The SMPS1200 switched-mode power supply is an ultra-high-efficiency model capable of developing a rated power of 1200 Watts in an extremely compact footprint. It has been specifically designed and developed by Hypex to supply the 2x85V voltage required to operate the most demanding amplifier modules.
This high-quality, low-noise power supply meets the power requirements of the amplifier modules in every respect. What's more, the modules themselves have an excellent ability to reject power supply noise. As a result, the LPA-S600NC is extremely insensitive to imperfections in the power supply network and to voltage/current variations that can cause parasitic noise.
The 2 modules are controlled in phase opposition, to cancel the "Power-Supply Pumping" effect. This makes for greater power supply stability, distributing current calls alternately on each rail, thus increasing its capacity.
We opted for a 2-level voltage regulation, to optimize the power supply to the OPAs and the auxiliary voltage supplied to the modules. One Texas Instrument LM4562 OPA is used per channel. These are low-distortion OPAs offering the highest transparency with very low THD. They are mounted on a DIP8 socket, allowing replacement if necessary.
To suit all uses, we have opted for 5 gain settings, selectable via jumper on the underside of the unit:
Designed for easy integration, the LPA-S600NC features both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) stereo inputs. Bipolar selectors make it easy to change input sources, and even allow independent control of channels. On the output side, carbon / 24k gold-isolated BP-207 terminals (Ø5.5mm) ensure excellent connection to loudspeakers.
