The new L-507Z integrated amplifier offers new Luxman tech inside, meant to improve the sound of music:
Built for discriminating music lovers, the L-507Z is the first integrated amplifier in Luxman’s Z Series, which will feature LIFES1.0, the Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System. First offered on the M-10X power amplifier earlier this year, LIFES1.0 is uniquely capable of reducing distortion while controlling the feedback inaccuracies that can compromise the expressive power of music reproduction. LIFES1.0 represents a substantial advance from Luxman’s signature ODNF (Only Distortion Negative Feedback) amplifier design. It results from meticulous computer simulation using dedicated software, careful evaluation of new circuit components, extensive auditioning, and prototype listening tests.
Featuring single-ended and balanced inputs, the L-507Z also offers a MM/MC Phono stage, two sets of speaker binding posts for driving two sets of speakers, a Pre Out and Main In.
Tasty power meters, a digital volume level indicator, tone controls, a balance control, and two headphone jacks (φ6.3mm and φ4.4mm output) speak to old and new interests.
Key Features:
- 110 Watts + 110 Watts RMS, Class AB into 8-ohm loads
- 210 Watts + 210 Watts RMS, Class AB into 4-ohm loads
- First integrated amplifier with LIFES1.0 (Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System) to simultaneously reduce distortion and preserve musical nuance and microdynamics
- Large dual VU meters with bright LED backlight, supplemented by large, 7-segment LED volume level display
- Highly regulated power supply with new EI-type transformer and an array of eight 10,000 µF filter capacitors
- LECUA1000 electronically controlled attenuator with 88 discrete steps, which was first featured in the C-900u control amplifier
- “Pentaconn” 4.4 mm headphone jack incorporates five conductors for balanced output, improves channel separation for private listening, supplements the standard 6.3 mm jack
- Home automation compatible with 12-volt trigger in/out connections
- Robust, anti-resonant construction, including thick aluminum chassis panels and density gradient cast iron feet; weighs 56 pounds (25.4 kg)
- Meticulous circuit design including smooth, round-cornered printed circuit board traces; beeline topology; low-impedance transmission; and carefully auditioned parts
- Supplied wireless remote control also operates Luxman digital players released after 1996
The L-507Z integrated amplifier is available now for a suggested retail price of $8,995.
