Technical Data

Sample IPT (N=8) with extremely marginal residuals around 800 kHz
With Interleaved Power Technology (N=8), the comparably much smaller byproducts of
the PWM switching process are easily filtered out using a simple high frequency notch
filter, which has no deleterious effect on sound quality, compared to brickwall filter types.
And, the broad frequency response provided by our Interleaved Power Technology
system is ideal for the latest wideband high resolution audio formats, with extended
response all the way out to 95 kHz (-3dB, 8 ohms).
№53 Configuration & Construction
Within the №53, there are essentially four major sub-sections, including analog,
modulation, amplifier and power supply sections.
The analog input stage features both single-ended (unbalanced) and balanced (XLR)
inputs. Single-ended inputs are converted to true balanced configuration, and remain
balanced through the entire amplifier and on to the bi-wiring compatible speaker
terminals.
The modulation section incorporates the heart of the Interleaved Power Technology,
and features a six layer PCB with approximately 1,500 parts, and contains four isolated
modulator sections. As well, the modulator board includes communication support for
our Link2 and MLNet system control functions, along with most of the amplifier’s
protection circuitry.
