Mark Levinson No. 534

Mark Levinson No. 534 - The power amplifier that drives anything

A Mark Levinson No. 534 dual mono stereo power amplifier was developed based on the design of the legendary No. 33 and ML-2 amplifiers. The technical design and components have been improved, but the classic ML sound has been preserved and refined.
The amplifier runs with a very high bias current and therefore in Class A mode under most listening conditions. Only when you really push it does it switch to Class A/B.

No. 534 is a dual mono stereo power amplifier delivering 2x250W into 8 ohms, 2x500 watts into 4 ohms, and it remains stable all the way down to 2 ohms. This makes
No. 534 the perfect partner for any high-end speaker.

Since 1972, Mark Levinson has been dedicated to the pursuit of the musical above all else. To achieve this goal, Mark Levinson engineers searched the company's archives and ultimately developed a circuit design philosophy called Pure Path. In short, it is a discrete, directly coupled, fully balanced, dual-mono signal path that delivers unlimited dynamics with the lowest possible noise.
