Class D Stereo Amplifier Ncore NC252MP 2x250W 4 Ohm
The Audiophonics MPA-S250NC RCA is a stereo amplifier based on an amplification module Hypex Ncore NC252MP. This solution is ideal for anyone who wants to have a large power reserve (2x250W) without sacrificing sound reproduction quality. This amplifier block will be suitable for example to accompany demanding speakers, to sound large listening rooms or for studio applications requiring a large headroom without compromising the accuracy and richness of the audio message.
All components are integrated in a simple and robust 100% Aluminium housing with openings to facilitate heat dissipation. Its design also allows it to limit the impact of interference on the signal.
The amplification circuit uses a module Hypex Ncore NC252MP. It is a versatile, high-performance Class D amplifier. It offers a very comfortable power of 2x150W at 8Ω while taking advantage of the high efficiency of Class D amplifiers.
Its main characteristics are its flat frequency response regardless of load impedance, its almost frequency-independent level of distortion and its ability to reject EMI interference. Its operation is based on a self-oscillating loop controlled by phase shift and taking into account feedback only at the speaker output.
This amplifier does not have a decoupling capacitor, so it lets the DC component of the signal through. Make sure your source has no DC component present at the output. The DC protection of the module switches on at 12VDC which is very permissive.
NCore amplifiers are the first Class D amplifiers to approach the performance of operational amplifiers, but also to surpass them in terms of sound quality. As a result, they are able to deliver clear, rich, musical sound while remaining compact. This NCore technology combines the stability of the Hypex UcD series amplifiers with lower distortion and output impedance.
The NC252MP module also integrates the amplification stage. This consists of a regulated half-bridge switching power supply (SMPS) with synchronous rectification on the main output rails. Compact, powerful and efficient, this power supply is particularly suitable for supplying a Class D amplifier cleanly.
In addition, to offer complete compatibility with the voltages delivered by the various electrical networks, the power supply is equipped with an automatic input voltage doubler. The NC252MP module also has an overload protection system.
The MPA-S250NC amplifier has a stereo unbalanced RCA input with gold-plated connectors. The amplifier output is made on Elecaudio BP-209 24k gold-plated speaker terminals. They also accept banana plugs or forks for quick and easy connections. A 5-12V trigger connector in 3.5mm Jack format allows to control the automatic ignition of the amplifier when integrated in a compatible system. Finally, a bistable button allows the device to be switched on.
This amplifier's trigger needs to be used with a mono trigger cable (sold separately).
We integrate this Hypex NCore NC122MP amplifier in a 100% black brushed aluminum case. This case offers an elegant finish, the thick walls giving it a great resistance, allowing to protect the components as it should. The natural conduction of the aluminum, as well as a studied air flow, allow to dissipate the heat produced by the module. In addition, the case is silk-screened on the front with the NCore logo and on the back with the nomenclature of each input/output.
Its very compact size, with a small width, allows to reduce the footprint to a minimum, offering high performance in a small space.
" Audiophonics has produced one adorable stereo amplifier! I just want to sit there and look at it. Fortunately beauty goes beyond the skin, sporting a performance Hypex class D amplifier, producing top class results in all the measurements. You get near state of the art performance at bargain prices with scant space needed to dedicate to the amplifier. "
