Independent power supply components are used for each channel
to maximize the isolation between channels, thus improving
imaging. Isolated chassis and signal grounds minimize noise to
optimize detail, even at low listening levels.

The amplifier channel itself is simple but elegant. Like the Nº532,
the audio path is fully differential, thereby handling balanced
input signals in their native format, ensuring no noise is added
by unnecessary signal conversions. Care was taken in component
selection, insuring high-quality passive components are used in
critical locations, maximizing the potential sonic benefits.

The Nº500H Series amplifiers may be operated through a network-
capable Ethernet port for use with ML Net and external protocol
controllers, and standard DC trigger controls.
