LUMIN POWER AMP

Lumin equipment is undeniably beautiful-looking, but until now, you’ve not been able to buy a matching power amplifier. The new Lumin AMP power amplifier is a perfect cosmetic match with many Lumin components and exactly the same width and depth as several of the company’s network streamers.

Rated with a power output of 160-watts per channel into 8Ω, 320-watts per channel into 4Ω and 640-watts into 8Ω if you bridge the left and right channels for mono operation, the new Lumin power AMP is a linear Class-AB d.c.-coupled design with fully discrete voltage and current gain stages and built-in overload, thermal and d.c. protection that’s powered by a single custom-made toroidal transformer. ‘ The Lumin AMP is a true dual mono design,’ said Aleksandar Maksimovic of Audio Magic, which distributes Lumin in Australia. ‘ Keeping the design dual mono means the Lumin Amp will deliver full power simultaneously from both channels and keeps crosstalk to an absolute minimum. The topology of the amplifier circuit is such that each channel is a mirror image of the other.’

Lumin rates the frequency response of the Lumin AMP at 20Hz– 40kHz (±0.1dB) and the signal-to-noise ratio at 103dB (unweighted), while it says the low 0.1Ω output impedance delivers a damping factor of 80 referred to 8Ω. Input sensitivity is 1.16V. Available now, the Lumin Power Amp retails for $19,990. For more information, contact Audio Magic on (03) 9489 5122 or www.audiomagic.com.au
