PM-11S3

Integrated amplifier

Reference Series - Integrated Amplifer

The PM-11S3 Reference Series integrated amplifier features HDAM ® SA3 based input and driver stages
directly traceable to the cost-no-object SC-7S2 Reference Series preamplifier and MA-9S2 monoblock power
amplifier. A high current, regulated power supply with torroidal transformer anchors the design. A newly
designed power amplifier stage features Constant Current Feedback for low distortion performance without
loss of harmonic balance and is a fully discrete topology. Further performance refinement is found in the
all-new digitally controlled analog volume control that boasts high linearity and superior channel to channel
tracking accuracy. A Power Amp Direct input makes for easy integration into a fine home theater system for
additional flexibility. A superb sounding MC/MM phono stage is standard equipment. Stunning black anodized
casework is new for this model. A polished copper interior as at once beautiful and functional, providing an
extra degree of electrical and mechanical isolation for the sensitive electronics within. Balanced and single
ended inputs and outputs are fully supported. This stunningly functional component combines advanced
circuitry and hand-selected parts to virtually define sonic truth.
