Nord One NC500DM MKII Dual Mono Stereo Power Amplifier is a powerful and uncompromising power amplifier solution for those who want maximum control and musicality from their speakers. With a dual-mono design based on Hypex NC500 modules and separate SMPS power supplies for each channel, it delivers enormous power resources and stability, regardless of load. The result is an amplifier that drives even the most demanding speakers with ease and maintains a naturally transparent and dynamic reproduction. The amplifier offers an output power of up to around 400 watts at 8 ohms, almost 700 watts at 4 ohms and stable operation down to 2 ohms, making it suitable for both light-driven and heavy-driven designs. The extremely low distortion level and wide frequency response ensure that the music is reproduced with the greatest possible clarity and precision. One of the model's main strengths is its flexibility. Thanks to the Nord Rev D input buffer, it can be equipped with various discrete op-amps, such as the Sparkos Labs SS2590 or Sonic Imagery 990, which makes it possible to influence the sound character according to personal preferences - from analytically neutral to more warm and full-bodied. The build quality is at the highest level with a robust aluminum chassis, gold-plated speaker terminals, balanced XLR inputs and expensive components throughout the signal path. Power consumption is low in idle mode, and with a 12-volt trigger, the amplifier can be easily integrated into a modern system. In short, the Nord One NC500DM MKII is a final stage for those looking for the combination of raw power, technical precision and adaptable sound character - an amplifier that allows speakers to perform at their absolute peak. Note! Due to the fact that prices go up and down and low margins, you must ask for a quote for this product.

Nord One NCx500DM MKII Dual Mono Stereo Power Amplifier

The Nord One DM MKII is our upgraded NCx500 Stereo amplifier with 2 x power supplies. (Main Picture is our standard case option to upgrade to SE case See below for details.) We think the new NCx500 is a significant upgrade over the NC500 and sounds absolutely stunning with greater bass, dynamics, soundstage and is wonderfully musical. Using Nord REV D input buffers with Sparkos discrete Voltage regulators and choice of discrete Sparkos 2590 or Sonic Imagery 990 Op Amps. These run in full class A and add greater tonal density for a more tonally rich sound. while improving resolution and soundstage. And elevate our MKII amp to a Hi End audio experience. FULL REV D AND OP AMP SOUND DIFFERENCES HERE All buffer have On-Board Switchable Gain 12.4-21.9-27.0-30.2 dB Upgrade to the SE case for a more solid, beautifully finished and classy looking case. Made in Japan the SE case matches the sonic ability of the amp and also comes with a switchable ON OFF DIM front LED Our Standard case is sourced from Italy and offers a consistent look across the range. We use quality RCA and XLR input sockets from Switchcraft in the USA and they are soldered directly onto the buffer board so no long input wires. Standard binding posts are 5 way including banana from CHK, you will find these gracing the back of the £40K Ultima amplifiers. The front power switch is finished in brushed stainless steel with an even blue halo LED. Our Nord badge is Aluminum and both this and the switch are neatly rebated. The cases are set on solid brushed and polished lacquered isolation feet. Combined they produce a simple yet aesthetically pleasing look. Moving inside the amplifier we build with a combination of quality and experience of laying out amplifiers in order to achieve ultimate performance. We balance this with ease of build in order to maintain lower prices without compromising quality. Vulnerable wire connections are double shrink sleeved to ensure long term reliability. We have recently moved to combine inputs directly to the buffer board eliminating long input signal paths. Buffer boards are soldered using WBT silver solder. All resistors are either 1% or 0.1% tolerance where needed in the audio feedback path. Signal capacitors are ultra quiet Wima Polypropylene whilst power caps are long life low ESR Panasonic FM range. Binding posts are connected to buffer board with as short a length of OFC Silver plated Teflon dielectric 14AWG wire. Neotech OCC option. The connections to the binding posts are crimped and soldered to ensure ultimate contact. Our SMPS have virtually zero noise emissions, an example of how this is achieved is attention to detail – each PSU output transistor is individually wrapped in Copper foil shielding. We also pay a great deal of attention to thermal testing when designing a new amp to ensure they run as cool as possible. Heat is the enemy and will reduce long term reliability. All our amplifiers perform and offer far better value than any product available from dealers. Even our entry level MP range offer a base line of superb dynamics, amazing soundstage, clarity and sheer addictive musicality. Gone are any hints of the older Class D harsh and thin sound. They sound like the top notch Class A A/B amplifiers. Each amp is built by one individual who is responsible for its internal build quality.
