Kinki Studio EX-M1 - dual mono integrated amplifier (silver)
The EX-M1 is fully modular, a dual mono design in a single chassis. Rich in tonal quality, details, dynamic, and high resolution.
Features:
- Volume control based on JRC MUSES 72320 resistor ladder with 100 steps increment
- Dual-mono design based on the British company Exicon Mosfet transistors - two pairs for one channel, fast and dynamic
- Two encapslated 400VA transformers from the British company AMPLIMO
- American Vishay BC capacitors (as a curiosity - the same Nagra uses in their products)
- Two separate low-noise transformers from the Czech manufacturer Talema, supplying preamplifier sections
- Gold-anodized aluminum heat sinks with drilled holes, we have the same holes in the lower housing as well as the upper, so the amplifier has free air flow
- Extremely high cost 0.2µm gold-plated printed circuit board (PCB)
- Furutech FI-03 power socket
- Neutrik XLR sockets
- Internal copper cabling OCC, OKI Flat Ribbon and OMRON connectors (made in Japan)
- Gold-plated connectors for input stage signal and transformer primary stage
- Aluminum remote control with magnetic rear flap
- LED display with dimmable option and total blanking option.
POWER STAGE
The power amplification circuitry are mounted directly on a large customs made, gold anodized heat sink. The power stage equipped with two pairs of power EXICON MOSFETs, driven in Class AB.
Two identical power stage modules are arranged on the left and right sides of the chassis, deliver impeccable power for the two channels: 215 watts into 8 ohms, 400 watts into 4 ohms.
HIGH DAMPING FACTOR
High damping factor unleash the full potential of the sonic performance of the loudspeakers. EX-M1 employes high power rail supplies, delivering fast and high recovery DC supply to the power stage. The ultra high slew rate and DC-coupled (no capacitors in the signal path), yielded exceptionally acoustic excellent - neutral, transparency, details, dynamic and ultra fast transient response.
