536 MONAURAL AMPLIFIER
534 DUAL-MONAURAL AMPLIFIER
Since 1972, Mark Levinson has been
dedicated to the uncompromising art
of sound, with the guiding principle of
musical purity above all else.
To achieve that goal like never before,
Mark Levinson engineers scoured
company archives, ultimately
developing a circuit-design philosophy
called Pure Path. On a conceptual
level, its hallmark principles include a
discrete, direct-coupled, fully balanced,
dual-monaural signal path that
delivers unrestricted, uncompromised
sonic purity.
Far from merely arranging high quality
components in an intelligent manner,
Pure Path is the meeting of science
and art: Mark Levinson engineers are
tasked to create the best possible.
PRECISION.
POWER.
PURITY.
The pursuit of perfect amplication
is a well-known theme in high-end
audio. New technologies present new
approaches, while looking to the past
provides inspiration for the future.
It was in that spirit that the
536 and 534 ampliers were
developed: advised by classic
Mark Levinson amplier designs
such as the 33 and ML-2, and
with a specic target sound: a deep,
expansive soundstage, accurate
image placement, extended low bass
response with good pitch denition,
and detailed high frequencies free
from “etching.”
These fully differential, fully discrete,
monaural and dual-monaural
Pure Path ampliers drive virtually
any loudspeaker effortlessly in
class A for most listening conditions
for impeccable imaging, musicality,
and openness. A direct-coupled signal
path; a highly linear, low-feedback
design; and voltage gain and drive
stages operating entirely in
class A, are joined by the modern
system integration capabilities
provided by Ethernet, RS-232, and USB
for monitoring and network control.
