Nord One SE NC1200DM Signature Stereo

Finns i Silver eller Svart Overview We are exited to offer our new Hypex NC1200 based amplifier using Hypex's best module and Nord Input buffer board Until recently the Hypex NC1200 was only available to a few manufactures and with amplifiers costing upwards of £10K. We had access to the module but with a minimum pricing policy of £6.5K decided that it was too expensive for a boutique manufacture like Nord. A recent change in pricing policy means we are free to price as we feel fit. Using Hypex NC1200 modules powered by Hypex SMPS1200A700 PSU's and a bespoke Nord Buffer designed specifically for the NC1200 and housed in our SE case work. The amp is packed with high end components from mains inlet to the speaker binding posts. Furutech FI-06 solid Copper Gold IEC mains inlet with Furutech FP-SO22N mains cable throughout. Furutech FT-786F R Rhodium XLR Sockets. WBT­-0705Ag Signature Nextgen Solid Silver Conductor binding posts and connected by Neotech UP-OCC 14AWG Solid OCC Copper wire. Synergistic Research Blue Fuse. No sonic stone unturned. The new NC1200 bufferboard uses two Op Amps per channel and runs even further into Class A delivering up to 250mA of Class A current fed into the Hypex NC1200 module. The result is more tonal depth, dramatic improvement in bass, even greater depth of soundstage, slightly more detail all wrapped in a balance of rich texture and harmonics, bottom-end presence , amazing dynamics, exquisite resolution in the mids and upper frequencies, and a fully revealed, fully dimensional sound stage Headroom and listening volumes have increased and all combine in a totally musical non fatiguing Class A sound. Gone, if there was any hint, the sound signature of a solid state amplifier.

Simply put Audiophile consensus of opinion agrees these are the current best Class D modules available. Nord UP Input Buffer Board Class A Where it matters. The Hypex NCore is renowned as a wire with amplification reproducing what it’s fed with unfaltering accuracy and detail. The Nord UP feeds the NCore with a musical, rich tonally dense signal from its Class A Op Amps resulting in an amplifier that keeps the benefits of the Hypex NCore but adds warmth and depth. Hypex designed the NCore NC500 with a separate input section to allow manufactures to add their own house sound via the input buffer section. We went one step further by designing a board with the ability for you to change the sound of the amp using different Operational Amplifiers or Op Amps via an on board socket, we call it Op Amp rolling. We start with discrete Voltage regulators from Sparkos Labs. These provide ultra low noise accurate power with very fast transient responses feeding the NC500 and the discrete Op Amps. Discrete Op Amps are used because they simply sound better. There design and size allows the use of large capacitors and high current operation not possible in IC Op Amps due to size and heat dissipation requirements. The board uses tight tolerance metal film resistors and audiophile Polystyrene capacitors throughout the audio stages. A high quality 8 pin DIP socket is provided for easy Op Amp changing. The board is totally interchangeable with the standard Hypex board. Op Amp Choice All our discrete Op Amp choices run in full Class A and offer a warmer more engaging sound than the standard amp. Extra dynamics better deeper soundstage. More depth, texture and naturalness. 93% Efficiency Whilst you should not choose an amplifier for its efficiency alone our amps are around 90% efficient at full volume. Idle power consumption is 18W compared to 150-200W for a Class A/B power amplifier. Low cost to run and wont heat your room in the summer. If you choose the 12V trigger option to power the amps on remotely from a Pre Amp the standby consumption is 0W.
