Synthesis NYC 500 Mono Power Amplifier

The NYC500 provides a minimum of 500 watts RMS power output from 8 KT120’s in Ultra-Linear

(UL) – push/pull operation in 4 ohms and 8 ohms.

The NYC500 features a newly designed custom output transformer designed to achieve highly delicate and precise sound with extraordinary musicality from tubes, but with the authority of the best transistor amplifier.

FEATURES

– DC Powered tube heater

All tubes, except KT120, have DC stabilized heater circuits to reduce hum noise to a near in-audible minimum.

– Output transformer

The Output transformer uses a double C-core Hi-Grade Iron-Silicon for superb frequency reproduction and bandwidth. With this newly designed custom output transformer unique to the

NYC500 we are able to achieve highly delicate and precise sound reproduction faithful to the original recording.

– Mechanical chassis construction

The power supply and output transformers are held by an extremely rigid “H” structure that keeps the unit free from unwanted vibrations which further helps reduce unwanted noise to the tubes.

– Feet

Four CNC machined aluminum feet with an insert of natural rubber. The depth and form of these rubber feet minimize the vibration of the amplifier in isolation from its surroundings.

– Fan

A 120mm fan provides a speed between 500 to 700 rpm which is controlled via micro. This ULN (Ultra-Low-Noise) unit is tailor-made for the serious enthusiast who demands super-slow running

speeds and the utmost silence of operation.

– Bias control

The factory set fine bias control is microprocessor controlled to maintain the optimum settings. If required this can be adjusted without the use of an external voltmeter by use of an internally fitted display device.

– Dual mono Circuitry

A completely dual mono design minimizes the crosstalk across channels. Power transformers use hi-grade iron silicon M0 and separate supplies with hi-grade selected capacitors to produce

extremely low ripple levels. Independent of the mains transformer, each channel has a separate power supply guaranteeing a large reservoir of energy to meet the demands of the amplifier circuit

and to maintain excellent interference immunity between channels.

– Binding posts

Two pairs each output (predispose for bi-wiring connection) of gold plated professional binding posts for a continued oxidization free connection further improve sound refinement.

– Socket

Gold plated ceramic sockets for a continued oxidization free connection further improve sound refinement.

– Components

Components for the NYC500 have been selected with great care throughout. Only the best available components are considered and all must undergo an exhaustive analysis of their sonic influence prior to final selection.

– Selected tubes

All tubes used are selected after 2 stages warm-up. A fully computer monitored machine controls the process and at the end of this, selects the perfect tubes which are matched for a perfect balance.
