In implementing the new design, we have dramatically improved performance and current-handling capacity over the previous model while still maintaining the highest levels of sonic quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SA-500.1 ES is a 500 watt monoblock amplifier into 8 ohms, (1000 watts into 4 ohms), with balanced and single ended inputs. The amplifier exhibits very high current capability, is stable into low impedance loads, and features 3 dB of dynamic headroom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen we designed the SA-500.1 ES power amplifier, one of our primary goals was to create a product that would give years of consistent and reliable use without any maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve that goal we took a hard look at the design and choice of components. For example, we use high-precision metal film resistors in almost all our circuitry, even in places where their use is not required. We have overbuilt the output stage and increased the heat dissipating capabilities of the amplifier by as much as 50% over previous designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe changes encompass almost every part of the design, down to the choice of thickness of the chassis sheet metal. The monolithic front end brought major advantages to the amplifier design with improved temperature stability, low offset, and a substantial reduction of all types of distortion across the full frequency spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCircuit Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid State, Class A\/B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x 500 watts @ 8 Ohms from 20Hz to 20KHz\u003cbr\u003e1 x 1000 watts @ 4 Ohms from 20Hz to 20KHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10Hz  50KHz +\/- 0.1 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;100dB, A Weighted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30K Ohms RCA-unbalanced\u003cbr\u003e30K Ohms  Balanced (XLR)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage Gain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC Power Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e117\/234 Volts AC @ 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBreak-In Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 hours of playing time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 RCA, 1 XLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 pair Heavy-duty, gold-plated binding posts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLess than 0.05% at rated output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDamping Factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreater than 400 from 10Hz to 400Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemote Trigger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.3-24v DC at 5mA or greater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack powder coated matte chassis with silver or black aluminum faceplate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.75 H x 17.7W x 19.5 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Cary Audio","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":52740291789066,"sku":"CARYAUDIO-6997","price":12390.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":52740291821834,"sku":"CARYAUDIO-6998","price":12390.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/cary-audio-sa-500.1-es-monoblock-pair-28777-p.png?v=1773934816","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/cary-sa5001es","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
