M18 DUAL MONO POWER AMPLIFIER
True dual mono amplifier design with a fully balanced topology for enhanced channel separation and minimized distortion
Power output flexibility delivering 60W into 8Ω, 120W into 4Ω, and 150W into 2Ω, ensuring robust performance with a wide range of speakers
Balanced inputs optimized for high-fidelity and the perfect companion to Bricasti preamplifiers and other balanced sources
Ultra-low distortion design prioritizes clarity for precise and transparent reproduction of audio details
Finish available in Classic black, Argento silver, and Platinum
The Bricasti M18 stereo amplifier is a crucial component in any audio system, particularly those designed around Bricasti principles. The M18 strikes a nice balance between size and performance, creating a seamless sonic pathway from source to speakers. Its fully differential architecture ensures performance that is effortless and responsive.
PRECISE
CONTROL
The power amplifier is a critical part of the audio chain. It must amplify the incoming signal evenly while precisely managing the loudspeaker's load and controlling its back EMF. The sound of the M15 is designed to be transparent and revealing, maintaining low dynamic distortion with no sense of limits or compression, regardless of loudspeaker technology.
BALANCED
POWER
The M18 stereo amplifier is a true reference design in analog power amplification. Its architecture delivers extremely low distortion with moderate power and a unique balanced topology rarely seen in the industry in this price category. When paired with the M1 Classic DAC or M12 Source Controller, the M18 achieves a fully differential signal path from the converter to the loudspeaker.
MODERN
APPLICATION
The M18 is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing systems while offering a more compact form factor. The M18 also incorporates custom Stillpoints isolation devices directly into its feet, delivering a polished result derived from many hours of critical listening and tuning.
FEATURES
FULLY DIFFERENTIAL
TECHNOLOGY
The M18 stereo amplifier features a fully balanced, dual mono design. Independent amplifiers for each channel deliver exceptional audio separating while preventing negative signals from contacting ground, thus reducing crosstalk, noise, and interference. This also improvs the signal-to-noise ratio for a more natural, lifelike sound at any volume.
