Bel Canto REF600M Monoblock Amplifier

With its unique input filtration, combined with NCORE® amplifier technology, a custom loading design and compact chassis, the REF600M will deliver serious power levels that will drive and control speakers with ease, letting you sit back and listen with comfort.

Now more than ever, listeners demand that audio amplification must deliver a pure Class A treble, with the slam of the best Class D architectures, and the mid-band presence that brings life to your music. Bel Canto say "their new REF600M maintains a pure sonic balance and delivers a true-to-source and natural sound. With NCORE®, the REF600M provides ultra-low noise and distortion performance over the entire audio bandwidth, which allows the music to come through unchanged with such remarkable purity through the use of an innovative 5th order loop filter."

President of Bel Canto, John Stronczer told StereoNET:

Never before have we seen this level of measurable performance from a switch mode amplifier that renders the musical note in space like our original SET amplifiers, and goes beyond with unprecedented low frequency control, yet retains the simplicity and ease of use expected in an e.One amplifier.

The new Bel Canto REF600M will replace both the REF500M and REF1000M and while the power rating is lower then the REF1000M, by using new technology the REF600M boasts a supremely higher performance than its predecessors.

By using Bel Canto's custom Impedance Optimized Input Stage, the REF600M uses low noise and distortion amplifiers, precision film resistors, and audio grade power supply capacitors. Through DC Coupling with short audio signal paths and high quality output wiring into the WBT NextGen connectors, this setup ensures that all of the REF600M amplifier's potential is achieved.

The massive 1200 Watt power supply in true monoblock architecture maintains stability and performance under any load, ensuring the REF600M will always respond to the dynamic demands of the music signal with a sense of ease and authority.

It also features a dual gain mode option and 5/12 V trigger increase system integration options for use with a wide range of loudspeakers and systems.

Functioning without effort, the Bel Canto REF600M powers through 300 watts into 8 ohms, 600 watts into 4 ohms, and stable into 3 ohms, with an RCA impedance of 100 Kohms, and a balanced input impedance of 200 Kohms.

Packed full of play, the REF600M input connections comprise single-ended RCA or balanced XLR inputs, with the latest 1-set WBT NextGen S-way binding posts for outputs, while boasting a frequency response of +I -3  dB OHz-SOKHz and dynamic range of 121 dB.

The Bel Canto REF600M is available now for $3,695 RRP (each).
