Know before you buy
This design ensures that the audio signal remains pristine by cancelling out noise and interference throughout the amplification process. It results in exceptional transparency and clarity, allowing you to hear subtle nuances in your music that might otherwise be lost.
The M15 is built to be highly stable, delivering 125W into 8 ohms, 250W into 4 ohms, and doubling down to 500W into 2 ohms. Its robust power supply and engineered output stage ensure it can drive demanding speakers without compromising performance.
Yes, the M15 features an input trim control that allows for attenuation settings of 0dB, -6dB, -12dB, or -18dB. This is particularly useful for gain staging in systems where your preamplifier might have too much output for your specific speakers.
Bricasti has engineered Stillpoints isolation directly into the feet of the amplifier. This integrated solution helps decouple the unit from your rack or floor, minimizing the impact of external vibrations on the internal components.
Yes, the amplifier is equipped with both XLR connectors for balanced inputs and RCA connectors for unbalanced inputs. The balanced inputs have an impedance of 200k ohms, while the unbalanced inputs are rated at 100k ohms.
The amplifier includes a 5V external trigger input via a TRS connector, allowing it to be powered on or off automatically by your preamplifier or control system. It also features a low-power standby mode for energy efficiency when not in use.
