Belcanto Amplification

The audio amplifier is the engine of the audio system. It must provide the power to drive the loudspeaker motor. The amplifier has huge power gain: from micro-watts of input power to 100’s of watts of output power the audio amplifier must do its job with ease and competence.

Bel Canto’s new generation of e.One analogue switching audio power amplifiers emerge… These amplifiers incorporate performance enhancing technology resulting from our on-going research in analog switching amplifier technology

High common mode rejection, wide dynamic range custom input stages are added. This input stages improved the drive to the amplifier, resulting in lower noise and distortion and wider dynamic range in real-world operation..

The input stage uses the latest advanced amplifiers and passive components including: Caddock resistors, Solid Electrolytic ultra-low ESR decoupling capacitors and low noise regulated power supplies. These devices ensure that the input section is utterly transparent, enhancing the performance of the core amplifier.

Both the REF500M and REF500S use 3rd generation switching amplifiers for lower High Frequency distortion, increased clarity and better high frequency extension.

Outstanding performance in a small, neat package good looking package. The E.One series of amplifiers will drive most loads with ease, very transparent, open and powerful, yet musical too. Superb with music and home cinema alike.
